Both blondes and brunettes have brown eyes, even red brown eyes are found, but in each case they are used different techniques and makeup application techniques, as well as different color palettes.

- evening makeup;
- carnival makeup.
How can you characterize this type of makeup?

- The make-up is two-layer
- Suitable for daily wear.
What's the point? This variety is widespread in the summer - more complex coloring will still flow. Light makeup helps highlight natural beauty, slightly refresh the face and place the right accents. What do makeup artists usually use to apply it?
It all depends on the needs of a particular girl. For example, if the skin is fairly smooth, without redness or defects, then you don’t need to use foundation, but if expressive eyes A light lip gloss and eyebrow shadow will be enough. The face will immediately become shaped and interesting.
Good daytime makeup for brown eyes does not imply the use of bright means - it is better to play on the difference in shades within the same color. For example, you can use:
- beige tones;
- golden shades;
- decorative products in muted wine tones;
- light pastel shades of one or two colors.
They say that the right makeup draws attention either to the eyes or to the lips - it makes sense to emphasize both together only for evening out or for studio photography. That is, in all other cases it makes sense emphasize one thing.
If you prefer makeup accentuated on lips, then your eyes may need daytime mascara - without any special effects, just shading the eyelashes.
By the way, good decision may become colored mascara - for example, a muted purple or chocolate shade. But what if you want to do everyday makeup for brown eyes without going overboard?
Try to do nude makeup- this is what they call makeup a la naturel, in natural tones, without unnecessary colors and textures. A good tint will help highlight the eyebrows and color the space between the lashes, and high-quality satin shadows will add depth to the look.

Apply makeup in the usual way for you - tint your eyebrows, apply a base product and light shadows without bright color or shimmer, and then carefully draw arrows and, if necessary, use mascara.
Good makeup for brunettes with brown eyes when using highlighter- very often brunettes have dark skin, black eyelashes and eyebrows, as well as brown eyes; it’s not worth spoiling all this with decorative cosmetics, but it would be useful to slightly emphasize it.
Apply eyebrows and eyelashes with a special gel, apply foundation or concealer to the skin of the eyelid, and then carefully highlight the upper eyelid or inner corner of the eye with a highlighter. A little highlighter should also be applied to the skin closer to the bridge of the nose and under the arch of the eyebrow, and then shaded well - this will add shine and radiance to the look.

For a strong and bright accent of brown eyes, liquid eyeliner and a pencil are indispensable attributes.

Mascara for coloring brown eyes
Ladies with dark eyes, as well as thick and long eyelashes, do not need to buy voluminous or expensive lengthening mascara.

It is better to separate the eyelid and apply dark shades to the upper zone, and to avoid a clear boundary of tones, use a neutral shade of mascara. Champagne-colored shadows, as well as all sorts of delicate and bright shades of purple, suit honey eyes.

Ladies with attractive light brown eyes should choose delicate violet, bright bronze, and metallic colors. Makeup with silver shadows looks unnatural during the day. It is better to apply them in the evening.

- Advice! If you use long-lasting products and apply them minimally, do not set your makeup with powder. It will most likely be persistent anyway - due to the massage, the skin will more actively absorb all the products.
Eye makeup
This stage is one of the most important in wedding makeup: due to it, the overall image will become light and fresh. To achieve just this effect, first do your eye makeup using natural shades, namely the colors of your own shadow. If you have dark skin, this is light brown for you (by the way, it will perfectly highlight the brown color of your eyes). Apply shadows with a natural bristle brush, spread over the top with a fluffy brush and blend the loose pigment.

Concealer

To make your makeup look equally good both in life and on camera, apply blush with medium (closer to strong) intensity - on the “apples” of the cheeks, then stretching it onto the cheekbones, bridge of the nose and chin. To make your makeup as natural as possible, try not a classic blush, but a tint: apply the product better with a brush, after mixing it with highlighter in the palm of your hand.

Highlighter
Since the skin has already absorbed the previous layer of highlighter, apply another one. Enhance the shine only on the top line of the cheekbone, so that the highlighter layer does not cover up the blush.

Eyebrow makeup
Don't try to draw your eyebrows, your task is to create their shape and fill the space between the hairs. Choose the product not to match the color of your eyebrows, but three to four shades lighter. This rule applies even to brown-eyed brunettes - to make the look appear softer, the shade of the eyebrows should be slightly lighter than the color of the hair. First, comb your eyebrow, then fill in the “gaps” between the hairs with a pencil and focus on the arch. It is better not to touch the base of the eyebrow, at the bridge of the nose.
