Eye shadow for brown eyes

The eyes are the mirror of the soul. Therefore, it is very important to arrange them correctly, to give a special charm and expressiveness. This will help the mascara, eyeliner, as well as properly selected color eye shadows.

Brown eye color - the most common on the planet. It varies in brightness - from dark brown, almost black to light brown, as well as purity - walnut, marsh, interspersed with green and gray. In fact, it is easier to pick a shade of shadows for such eyes than others.

If you are the owner of brown eyes, nude shades - peach, chocolate, beige must be present in your cosmetic bag. Firstly, because the makeup in the “nude” style is very popular lately and does not look defiant, and secondly - because it is universal, it can be worn either for a business meeting or for a birthday.

There are also certain criteria for the selection of shadows for different shades of hazel. For example, for owners of almost black eyes, it is better to use shades of medium or high saturation, since poorly pigmented ones will look dull and faded. It will be very interesting to look makeup with golden arrows or "smoky", as well as red shadows with a white arrow.

Directly to representatives of the average brown color, virtually all shades really fit - from yellow to purple. From the cold range can highlight the various blue and green shades, turquoise, lavender, plum and emerald.

Nude peach and brown shades, smoky textures applied on the fold of the century are ideal for light-brown. Of the brighter tones, the best ones are olive, bronze, and muffled-peach.

Contrast tones - pink, purple, lilac, lilac, as well as gray, orange and dark brown - will look beneficial with walnut.

For the so-called "tea eyes", brown warm, suitable maroon, purple and brown shadows - but well-feathered.

If your eyes are not pure brown, but with an admixture of green, a universal option would be to choose the very same green shadow. Also you can use dark purple, brown and eggplant colors. For the daily daily option, you can choose nutty shades, a little lighter than eye color to give a look of tenderness and lightness.

Also, if you do not want to spend time on eye makeup daily, you can do it once with permanent shadows. However, it is difficult to recommend such a method, since the result cannot be closed by anything other than foundation and making another make-up will be problematic. Just remember that this option exists.

In addition to eye color, of course, you need to take into account the color of hair, and also not forget about skin color. This is very similar to the theory of color types - for example, cold hair shades are better to choose the same shades of shadows, warm ones - warm ones, because bright eyes and dull hair do not look together, and just the opposite.

For brunettes

The first option that comes to mind when you pick up the shadow for owners of dark hair - black. And really, brunettes and dark-haired brown-eyed girls are ideally suited for dark colors - black, chocolate, brown of different saturation. Both matte and shiny. Plum, nude pink and burgundy will look good - they will give an image of tenderness, silver or gold as an arrow or on the crease of the century.

For blondes

Owners of blond hair - blondes, especially light blond - should first of all pay attention to sand, beige and other nude shades.They will look very gentle, and the "smoky", made in these tones with the addition of quite a drop of black, look very attractive.

As a brighter option, you can pay attention to different shades of green - avoiding, however, light green and about yellow tones, as well as pink - here the limitation is only in saturation, since light pink shades, "pink" and puppet pink look better muffled .

If you also have sandy or hazel eyes with light hair, look with yellow and gold shades. Golden and brick tones will look very beneficial if you are blonde with dark brown eyes.

For brown-haired women

For fair-haired or brown-haired women, violet and blue tones are suitable - they will make the look visually deeper, attract attention, and the soft green ones will give tenderness. Black and silver will look beautiful with dark or almost black eyes.

For red

Copper and red shades are red-haired girls - they will help shade hair color. It will look especially impressive in the eyes of a warm subtone - since both brown and orange give characteristic copper reflections, allowing the eyes to shine in the sun. In this case, such bright colors can be applied even on the lower eyelid or in combination with a red pencil - the main thing is to use the base under the shadows so that they do not crumble.

Redhead always went emerald, and in the case of brown eyes, he will also be to them. Carefully pick up the blue shadows - they should be deep night color, but not light blue, it will visually make your eyes tired. The same goes for pink flowers.

For dark skin perfect peach-olive palette, brown shades of eye shadow. It is better not to abuse black, since it, in combination with dark skin, can overload the image.

Snow White should pay attention to pink and chocolate tones, bright blue and emerald green. The skin tone is also important - if it is cold, then bright red and orange yellow shades are contraindicated to you, and if it is warm, you should beware of blue and violet. Otherwise, the shadows can emphasize wrinkles, bruises under the eyes and create a tired image.

It is not enough to choose the right shades, you also need to be able to use them correctly. It is necessary to gradually fulfill a number of conditions that are necessary to create a beautiful image.

• Select accent. These can be eyes or lips, but in no case are both zones at once. With a spectacular bright red lipstick, the maximum that you can do with your eyes is to emphasize them with an arrow, ink or nude shadows. And, on the contrary - with large arrows or outstanding "smoky" lipstick should be nude.
• However, remember that, highlighting one zone, you should not forget about the other. After all, her festive eyes look ridiculous without blush or some kind of lipstick. The image must be one.
• You must have a base under the shadow - the base, the primer. It prolongs the durability of the makeup, makes some shades brighter, does not allow them to roll or escape from the eyes. It also makes the surface of the eyelid smoother.
• Brushes. Ideal flat brush with a long nap. For feathering - fluffy. You can use the applicator, which manufacturers often throw in the package, but the shadows are poorly quenched and the application requires great effort. The quality of the tools for makeup depends on its comfortable and convenient application, as well as the level of trauma of the century.

• Brushes are used in the case of baked or crumbly textures. Shadows, pencils or shadows-sticks are applied directly from the package, and creamy textures are usually applied with fingers, liquid - with a special applicator.
• It is very important to use a base for the shadows. It prolongs makeup, does not allow the shadows to crumble and creates a feeling of comfort. Also do not forget about the corrector for circles under the eyes and concealer for masking flaws.
• The colors of the shadows should be in harmony. There can be no more than three of them - a basic shade, a light one, which is a few tones lighter than the base one, and dark, in a different way - a marker, the darkest and most distinguishing pigment.
• Clear lines are not allowed. Pigments must be shaded.
• Transparent powder can be applied over the shadows. - she will fix the makeup and will not allow him to roll or crumble.
• Mascara or gel for eyelashes are applied only after the shadows. Otherwise, there is a chance to paint over eyelashes with loose pigment. The same goes for the arrow.

In the classic make-up has always used the following sequence of actions:

1. It should be applied to the eyelid base for the shadows, wait a few minutes so that it is completely absorbed. The skin should be smooth and moisturized, prepared for the application of shadows.
2. Then comes the turn of the base shade - it is applied to the entire upper eyelid.

3. The area under the eyebrow and the inner corner of the eye are covered with a light color. And the fold of the century from the middle is the darkest. It is also applied along the contour of the eyelashes.

4. Now it is very important to gently shade shades without mixing them together. They should be as bright, but the boundaries - almost unnoticeable.
5. Only after you are finished with the shadows, you can proceed to the liner or pencil for the arrow and to the mascara or false eyelashes.

Acting on this plan, you are quite capable of beautifully shaping your eyes - perhaps not the first time, but you will definitely succeed.

In fact, the classic version of eye makeup - "smoky eyes". This is a popular, but not hackneyed way to emphasize the eyes. Depending on the shades of the shadows can be used for day makeup for every day, and evening, on the way out. The technique of application is simple at first glance, but it is difficult enough to fill one's hand You will need: a dense concealer or corrector to smooth out the flaws, a base under the shadows, a soft black or dark brown eyeliner, a pencil for drawing arrows or a liner, an eyebrow pencil, mascara and eye shadow brush. The most important thing is a palette of shadows of at least three shades - dark, medium and very light. Classic Smokey are a combination of light brown (or gray), dark brown (almost black) and mother of pearl or beige. Remember that matte shadows are a more casual option, neutral, but pearl colors are best used only for the evening (however, in the case of nude and pale pink hues, an exception can be made).

1. It is more correct to start working with the eyes already when the skin is aligned. Therefore, the first step is to apply a moisturizer on your face, let it soak in and apply either foundation or powder, or blush if you wish. Glare highlighter and contouring, however, it is better to leave for later.
2. On the upper eyelid, you need to apply a prolonged make-up base under the shadow.
3. Take a soft pencil and circle the eye as close as possible to the contour of the eyelashes. The contour from the lower eyelid should slightly go to the temple, creating a light unfilled arrow.
4. The time of the shadows. Take the darkest shade and apply on the upper eyelid and the lower one from the upper edge to the inner one, gradually reducing the saturation. Do not paint the center of the upper eyelid. Blend the shadows.
5. Paint the remaining free space with a medium tint, also shading, creating a soft and smooth transition.
6. The lightest shade is applied to the inner corners of the eyes, to the space under the eyebrow and quite a bit - to the upper eyelid closer to the nose. Do not forget to shade.
7. At will it is possible to add such make-up with a full-fledged arrow. Do not forget about your eyelashes.

"Smoky" on brown eyes in blue, pink and purple shades look very interesting. Remember that "smoky" - makeup with an emphasis on the eyes, so you should not use bright lipstick or strongly highlight the cheekbones bronzer.

For the evening option, we recommend using yellow and crimson shadows (of which they are a little darker), unsaturated gold.

1. Do the same preparation of the face as in the case of "smoky eyes". Apply to the eyelid base, and after - a yellow shade on the center of the upper eyelid.
2. On the outer corner of the eye, apply a smear of crimson shadows - they should be saturated. How to circle it with a dark shade of crimson shadows and add a little bottom. Stew.
3. Put a highlight with golden shadows on the inner corner of the eye, lower eyelid and a little - on the crease of the upper one. Blend carefully.
4. Now turn the arrows. It should be rich - gold or black, bright. After - mascara or false eyelashes.

For the ladies who want to adjust their eyes a little, make them bigger and raise the outer corner, the birdie technique will do.

1. After applying the base, wait a few minutes and apply the base pigment to the mobile eyelid. The lightest shade is applied to the inner corner of the eye, as well as under the brow area.
2. Next, a soft pencil should outline the ciliary border, starting from the middle, slightly bringing the line up to the temple. To lead them along the crease of the century to the middle.
3. Now you need to take the darkest pigment - it will be better if it is black matte, and paint over the area behind the pencil line. Quite a bit, touching the outer corner.
4. Next, take a contrasting shade - purple, green or blue, glowing pigments will look better. And gently cover them with an area slightly higher than black, apply a very small shade on it and the outer corner from the bottom. Extinguish gently.
5. For this makeup, as for the ladies who want to enlarge their eyes, an arrow is needed. You need a black matte liner, a pencil does not fit. You should draw them a line along the ciliary eyelid from above and bring it to the arrow. The arrow should flow smoothly into the black pigment.
6. Completed makeup mascara or false eyelashes.

If you do not want to daily paint each eye for half an hour, you can take a chance and perform such a procedure as a tattoo. Its full name is “tattooing a century with the effect of shadows”. Its main advantage is to minimize the time spent on eye makeup. One wave of mascara - and you can already go to work. However, the tattoo is well combined with arrows and shadows, and does not mean that you should not paint your eyes after it. However, it is not universal - so if you are not sure that you want to wear the same type of makeup all the time, make tattooing less pronounced. As a rule, they secrete the outer corner of the eye and the fold with dark pigment. Also often draw an arrow. Sometimes clients ask the master to make a tattoo, then the effect is the most natural. You can choose your own shade - the palette is not as large as that of the shadows, but you can always emphasize the color with a couple of additional brush strokes.

The most popular shades are black, brown, various pastel and even nude tones. You must understand that the skin of the eyelids is sensitive, and redness and swelling are possible in the first days after the procedure. The doctor in any case uses anesthetic and anesthetic and will make the procedure painless. You will be advised on how to care for the centuries before and after. Masters should be selected in salons and reviews.
