Makeup for brown eyes
In our article, we have collected only the most relevant makeup tips and recommendations for brown eyes with a photo. A step-by-step makeup tutorial is a real lifesaver for beginner makeup artists.

Brown eyes give their owners an incredible brightness and depth of sight. Therefore, makeup for brown eyes can be both catchy and neutral, calm. In any case, such eyes will not go unnoticed.

Here are a few recommendations that will help make brown eyes even more expressive, and not make the look heavy and tired:

1. Do not use tone-on-tone shadows to match your eye color. This will visually reduce the eyes, and the makeup will be boring and out of date. If you really want to do makeup in brown tones, then use several shades of brown, and be sure to place light highlights in the inner corners of the eyes.

Add radiant pigments – it always looks advantageous and refreshes the look.

2. If you want to draw attention to the eyes, then make an accent eye makeup, and leave the lips neutral. The same applies to blush – in this case, choose discreet shades.

3. Do not line your eyes with black eyeliner or a pencil from below if they are not large in themselves. Thus, the eyes visually appear even smaller. This technique works only for owners of large almond-shaped eyes.

4. Do not forget to paint over the space between the eyelashes, especially in evening or other dark eye makeup. A well-colored interlash will emphasize the expressiveness of the look and make the makeup complete.

5. Before makeup, be sure to use a concealer that matches your skin tone. It evens out the area under the eyes and gives freshness to the look. But do not use too light a shade, it will look ridiculous.

6. The richer the eye color, the brighter the makeup should be. If you need to give expressiveness, then be sure to darken the outer corners of the eyes, and apply light shades to the inner corners of the eyes and to the middle of the eyelid.

7. Consider your skin tone. You probably noticed that on some, light shades of shadows look better, while on others, on the contrary, they are saturated? It’s not just like that. Light, delicate shades are suitable for owners of fair skin, but on swarthy girls they will be lost.

Light brown eyes

Light brown eyes tend to have warm undertones. Therefore, choose colors with yellow pigment. These include peach, golden, bronze, olive and turquoise hues. Avoid overly dark colors, especially black.
