Make Your Brown Eyes Look Amazing With Smokey Eye Makeup
It's essential to consider your eye color before finding the right smokey eye look. There are various approaches you can take: it all depends on what you would like to achieve. Do you want to enhance your eye color or rather harmonize with it? Enhancing? Harmonizing? If this sounds a bit complex read on and learn all about it.
Enhancing your eyes is all about making their color come out more and look brighter. Enhancing is usually done by applying a shade unlike your eye color, in the opposite spectrum of the color scheme. In the case of brown eyes, which are the topic of this article, you would apply blue which is a cool color.
Making your eye color more intense is just one of the aspects of makeup. Another idea is: harmonizing. Its purpose is to make all elements of makeup work together (and your eye color is an important part of it). Sometimes a particular shade will not enhance your eyes, but the final effect will still be great. A case in point? Brown-eyed girls look beautiful in brown eye makeup.
After this brief introduction let's cut to the chase: the perfect shades for creating smokey eyes. Brown is a pretty universal eye color, which means that you can choose from various hues and still look good. For my complete advice on creating perfect smokey eyes for this color read the free report about smokey eyes for brown eyes Let's continue to three fail-safe, favourite colors that will help you create amazing smokey looks.
My first recomendation is: brown smokey eyes. It sound pretty obvious but it just works together so well! And it is convenient too because brown and earth toned makeup is totally on trend this (and next) season! You can play with different finishes (matte, irridescent, shimmery), introduce a variety of shades and related colors like bronze and gold. If you are still not convinced just consider these two words: Kim Kardashian. She single-handedly made brown smokey eyes sexy and hot: need I say more? A tip worth remembering: refresh this look by using a dash of soft color with your blush and lipstick.
The second tip is all about enhancing. Dark shades of blue and navy are perfect for brown eyes: they make them look dark and rich and full of sparkle. And they make wonderful smokey eyes. Just think of Oprah Winfrey at this year's Met Gala: her brown eyes enhanced with midnight blue smokey eyes. More pastel shades of blue are a good solution as well, mainly as accents of color. For inspiration look no further than stylish Eva Mendez who recently wore brown smokey eyes with elements of blue. This makeup was a great example of how you can simultaneously harmonize and enhance (using a touch of blue).
The favourite number three for brown eyes is charcoal. Charcoal is unrivalled when it comes to smokey eyes. And it's often seen on brown-eyed celebrities. Victoria Beckham uses it a lot: and she does her smokey eyes to perfection. I also recently spotted it on Emmy Rossum. Both Victoria and Emmy sprinkle some silvery powder in the inner corner or at the bottom lashline to add some sparkle and frivolity to their charcoal smokey eyes. Charcoal and other shades of grey are also perfect for mixing with other colors. Navy and grey make a great sculpted smokey eye. And purple on top of charcoal looks mysterious: Kim Kardashiam wore such a design at a function recently.
Make your brown eyes sultry and rich with these elegant and selected shades, from charcoal to brown smokey eyes. And stay fabulous!
