Most people have brown eyes, and if you’re among them, you’re in luck because brown eyes are the easiest to apply makeup to, as they go with all colors.
But if you’re not quite sure which colors to use to highlight your eyes, at Plaza Mayor we’ll give you the keys to make an impact with your gaze.
Makeup for brown eyes
When choosing makeup colors for your brown eyes, you only need to keep in mind that the colors should match each other, complement your look, and above all, be fashionable, flattering, and comfortable.
We know that deciding on the right makeup colors and style to suit your face and look isn’t always easy, so at Plaza Mayor, we want to help you with some tips and tricks to highlight brown eyes with makeup.
How to apply makeup to brown eyes step by step?
To enhance your eyes naturally, simply line your upper and lower eyelids with an eyeliner pencil in the same shade of brown or black, then blend it well with a brush. Use mascara in the same shade as your eyeliner.
If you want to highlight your features and intensify your gaze, use a black color with pigment undertones or more striking colors, such as emerald green, cobalt blue, or even violet.
Apply a good mascara and don’t forget to line your eyes with eyeliner. If you use liquid eyeliner, the result will be more intense.
Nude colors on brown eyes
Nude colors are very flattering for brown eyes, providing a very natural look and always matching your outfits because they are such versatile shades. Within the nude tones, you can choose the range that best suits you based on your skin tone and hair color. If you have fair skin and light hair, you can opt for pinker tones. If your skin and hair are darker, brown and peach nudes will suit you best.
Cool colors in brown eyes
Cooler colors like blue, green, or violet are very flattering when applying makeup to brown eyes. They are more intense colors, but perfect for any evening or party makeup look.
To wear these eye makeup shades, your skin or hair color doesn’t matter; what’s important is how daring you want to be when applying makeup to your brown eyes. The most important thing is the colors you choose for your overall look, as your makeup will stand out more if it complements the main colors of your outfit.
If you want to make an impact with these colors when applying makeup to your brown eyes, apply a silver or gold tone to the inner corner of the eye.
Metallic colors on brown eyes
Metallic eye makeup is the hottest trend this season. You can use eyeshadows and eyeliners in metallic shades like copper, green, gold—whatever you like best—because they’re the perfect colors for brown eyes.
If you opt for gold or copper tones, outline your eyes with an eye pencil or eyeliner in brown or black tones. And for green, blue, or purple colors, use black eyeliner; this will make your eyes look more striking.
Pastel colors on brown eyes
Pastel colors usually suit all types of eyes, but especially if we have brown eyes and a rather tanned skin, as they will stand out in a very flattering way.
Furthermore, they are a perfect option if we want to highlight our eyes with a very subtle and elegant touch without resorting to overly strident colors.
