Warm shades like brown, burgundy, golden are very suitable for them. And the cold tones go well with the looks of brunettes with brown eyes. The main thing in makeup is to follow the basic rules for the selection, combination and application of decorative cosmetics:

1. Brunettes with brown eyes are encouraged to choose one basic color palette each time. So that the image does not look too overloaded, experts advise using as few contrasting colors as possible at the same time.

2. It is not recommended for brunettes with brown eyes to use powder with a yellow tint or undertones. A beige product to match the skin will perfectly complement the look.

3. If you do daily makeup, the focus is either on the eyes or on the lips. If a brunette with brown eyes has chosen shiny shadows or cosmetics of juicy and bright shades for make-up, you can apply lipstick in a light, pastel tone, as close to natural as possible, on the lips. But in the evening make-up, it is permissible to brightly paint both lips and eyes. Of course, you need to observe the measure, make sure that there is not too much makeup on the face, and the image does not look vulgar.

4. When using eyeshadows of different shades, light means are first applied, then darker ones. The boundaries of the transitions of some tones to others need to be shaded, but not too much, the colors should not merge into a single spot.

5. On the upper eyelashes, mascara is applied from the bottom up – from roots to tips. Move in a zigzag pattern to paint over each lash. A minimum of mascara should be applied to the lower lashes, painting only the ends of the hairs.

Facial make-up secrets

Dark curls of brunettes set off their skin well. Therefore, the most insignificant flaws become noticeable on it. To camouflage these defects, a girl may need the following decorative cosmetics:

1. Concealer is a cosmetic product that can have different shades – from white to purple. The purpose of the corrector is to mask small flaws – pimples, dark circles under the eyes, scars and scars, minor redness. The overlapping ability of the corrector is high, even a small amount of the product can completely hide the defect. The purpose of the corrector depends on its color. If it is green, then it will cope well with masking redness, if pink, it means it is intended to remove circles under the eyes, purple helps to hide places where there are areas of yellowing or age spots, freckles on the skin. The corrector is applied to the skin before using the primer and foundation.

2. Concealer is a product that combines the qualities of a concealer and foundation. It is designed to mask flaws in relatively large areas of the skin. Concealer helps to mask areas of irritation, redness, and peeling. In the latter case, the concealer is especially effective, as it contains ingredients that moisturize the skin. The concealer's coverage is not high, but it is applied over the foundation, so it can enhance its concealing effect.

3. Primer – a base for makeup, allows the foundation and powder to stay on the skin for as long as possible, not to crumble or smear.

4. Foundation is a product designed to even out the relief and tone of the skin, to hide all irregularities and minor flaws.

5. Powder is a cosmetic that makes makeup complete and the skin velvety. It is imperative to use powder only if dry blush is applied to the foundation. In all other cases, the woman decides for herself whether she wants to use powder or not. For example, in hot weather you do not want to overload the skin of the face by applying many layers of cosmetics, so you can limit yourself only to a corrector and / or foundation.

6. Blush is a product that is applied to the “apples” of the cheeks or to the sub-zygomatic region and provides the appearance of a slight blush.

7. Highlighter is a product designed to lighten certain areas of the skin, for example, the area under the eyebrows. In combination with a bronzer, the highlighter allows for the contouring of facial features, accentuating some areas and camouflaging others.

8. A bronzer is a tool that is used in contouring to create a shadow effect and visually reduce the volume of problem areas of the face. A bronzer can also be used to simulate tanning on the face and other areas of the body.

Before applying makeup on your face, you need to wash your face, apply a moisturizer, and let it soak for 5-10 minutes. After that, you can apply a concealer, primer, foundation and other products if necessary.

Makeup for brunettes with brown eyes – the secrets of contouring

Highlighter and bronzer, which are used to lighten and darken certain areas of the face, help to visually correct the features. There is one rule here – to add volume and increase, we use a light pigment; to reduce volume or size, apply a dark pigment.

For brunettes with brown eyes, you can focus on the upper part of the face – on the eyebrows and eyes. To do this, the highlighter can be applied to the following areas:

1. In the center of the forehead just above the bridge of the nose. The method is used if the forehead is not too high. If there is such a problem, then in addition you need to use dark pigments, applying them along the hairline on the head.

2. Under the eyebrows – from the tip of the arch to the middle.

3. Under the lower eyelids.

4. If you want to visually enlarge the upper lip, apply the highlighter to the fold under the nose. And if you need to make the lower lip more plump, apply a light pigment in the middle of the chin.

Additionally, if necessary, you can apply the following contouring techniques:

1. Wide cheekbones become visually narrower if you apply a bronzer to the sub-cheekbones, blending the pigment in diagonal movements towards the earlobes.

2. A nose that is too wide with large wings becomes narrower if a light pigment is applied to the bridge of the nose along the entire length, and a bronzer is used on the sides. The last resort is also useful if the nose is long. Apply a dark pigment to the tip and blend.

3. A square jaw will become more rounded if bronzer is applied to the prominent areas, and a highlighter is used in the center of the chin and above the upper lip.

Makeup secrets for brown-eyed brunettes – choose eye shadow

As already mentioned, brunettes with brown eyes are suitable for almost any shadow, with the exception of those whose tone duplicates the tone of a woman's iris. However, different colors of shadows have their own characteristics, they can affect the general image of a woman in different ways. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to find out a little information about shades of cosmetics for eye makeup.

Pink and all its variants – this shade has a rejuvenating and refreshing effect on the skin. Depending on the selected tone, pink can create the effect of tenderness or aggressiveness, warmth or cold in the general image of a brunette. The colors of this range are suitable for everyday or festive makeup. However, pink should be used with caution as it can make a sore and tired look, especially if a woman has dark circles under her eyes. Also, this color cannot be used if there are any defects on the skin, for example, acne and redness, since this shade will highlight all the flaws and draw attention to them. And it is not recommended for makeup for brunettes with brown eyes if they are already 40 or more years old.

Beige and brown tones help create a neutral or romantic and delicate look. With the shades of this range, the makeup will look restrained, natural and, if the girl wishes, completely invisible. Brunettes with brown eyes can safely experiment with all the beige and brown colors, choosing shades depending on the color of the skin, hair and the eyes themselves. For example, if you choose dark shades of dark chocolate or coffee, the iris will appear lighter than it actually is. And against the background of beige shadows, shades of coffee with milk or light sand, the eyes will seem more expressive, brighter, deeper, more attractive. However, it should be borne in mind that brunette girls with brown eyes and very light skin should not use shadows with a yellow or orange undertone, which can make the face look unhealthy.

Black and gray eyeshadows allow you to create classic and elegant or modern ultra-trendy looks. It all depends on the makeup technique that a brunette with brown eyes uses. Gray, black shimmery and matte eyeshadows look especially good with a smoky ice make-up.

The use of pastel or bright blue, blue, violet, lilac, green colors in makeup allows brunettes with brown eyes to maximally emphasize all the advantages of appearance and beauty of the look. Dark-skinned girls can use rich and deep gradients. And on light and delicate skin, light, translucent paints will perfectly fit. These shades are especially relevant in the warm season, when you can afford to be fresh and bright. But in winter, blue, blue colors will fit well into the overall image. The main thing is that the vessels protruding through the dermis are not visible on the skin of the eyelids or near the eyes, otherwise the eyes will look tired, and the look will be extinct and tortured.

When choosing shadows, you need to take into account not only their color, but also other parameters. For example, it will not be superfluous to pay attention to:

1. The consistency and texture of the shadows. Pressed or loose dry products are convenient to use both at home and outside the home. They fit well on the skin, creating a uniform, moderately saturated layer of pigment. Semi-liquid, creamy shadows are convenient to use in the comfortable conditions of an apartment, and not in a rush at work or on the road. Before buying, it is advisable to apply the product to the skin and evaluate how pleasant it is to 'wear', whether it dries the skin, how prone to crumble and smear.

2. Finish – shadows can be matte or shiny. Matte brunettes with brown eyes can be used without restrictions, for everyday or festive makeup. Eyeshadows with sparkles and shining, pearlescent particles are recommended to be used only for evening make-up or for daytime, if the girl is relaxing with loved ones, and does not go to school / work. Also, glitter shadows should be used with extreme caution by women over the age of 35-40, since any glow on the face draws attention to skin defects, such as wrinkles in the corners of the eyes.

3. Set complete set. There are shadows that come in the form of a box with one color, sometimes a brush or applicator is included with a cosmetic product. There are also kits on sale in which 3-6 or more options for shadows of similar or different, but matching shades, which can be combined in makeup, are selected. A brunette with brown eyes can choose a set with the most suitable colors for her, or buy several of these sets for different occasions.

4. Component composition. Make-up masters advise buying eyeshadows made mainly from natural ingredients. Thus, you can reduce the stress that the skin of the eyelids experiences with the regular use of decorative cosmetics. And the likelihood of allergies or other side reactions is also reduced if the product contains only natural ingredients, there are no synthetic dyes and flavors.

5. Additional properties. Dry eyeshadows are ideal for makeup if the activity of the sebaceous glands is increased. And also if it's hot and humid outside. Semi-liquid and creamy shadows are suitable for owners of dry skin.

6. Shelf life and economy of use. Dry, especially pressed eyeshadows are stored for a very long time and are consumed slowly, even if a woman does makeup regularly. The shelf life of creamy eyeshadows is shorter, moreover, they need to be stored cool, otherwise they can deteriorate and change their consistency, delaminate. Such funds are not spent as economically as dry ones.

7. And the last thing to look at is the brand and the price. Reliable manufacturers, who have already proven themselves well, produce high-quality products that allow you to make a really beautiful and durable make-up. The choice of cosmetics is large enough to find the right product in any price category.

In addition to the shadows, it is recommended to buy pencils and eyeliners, mascara and eyelash curlers. The color of cosmetic products can be of any color. For everyday discreet makeup, pencils, eyeliners, brown or black mascara are suitable. To create a brighter look, you can use colored products with bright shades and sparkles.

Makeup secrets for brunettes with brown eyes – highlight the eyebrows

Since brown eyes are very expressive and draw attention to the upper part of the face, it is unacceptable for brown-eyed brunettes to have unkempt eyebrows. Such a combination of beautifully painted eyelids and faded, blurred eyebrows looks ridiculous and inharmonious. Therefore, brunettes always need to monitor the condition of the brow arches:

1. Determine the optimal shape based on the initial outlines of the arcs. It is not necessary to make eyebrows too wide or too thin, the arches should have the most natural look. Hair that extends beyond the contour should be plucked out with tweezers.

2. Maintain the normal length of hairs that are within the contour. Too long hairs make eyebrows unkempt, frizzy and ruin a woman's appearance. Even one hair, which is twisted and knocked out of the mass, contributes to the fact that a person looks funny. Eyebrows should be trimmed to such a length that the hairs in any position do not go beyond the boundaries of the indicated shape of the arcs. To do this, you can use nail scissors or a mini-trimmer with stop attachments.

3. Use care cosmetics to ensure that the eyebrows grow thickly and the hair color is saturated.

Since natural brunettes usually have naturally thick dark eyebrows, it is not necessary to tint them. You can use cosmetics to correct the brow arches in such cases:

1. Eyebrows rarely grow, the skin is strongly translucent through the hairs, so the arcs seem faded.

2. There are scars or scars in the eyebrow area, and no hairs grow in their place.

3. There are small bald spots in the eyebrow area, places where hairs grow very rarely.

4. If a woman with brown eyes is brunette, but dyed, the natural color of her eyebrows may not match the acquired shade of the hair on her head. The color of the brunette's eyebrows should match the color of the curls or be slightly lighter.

To emphasize the shape and correct the shade of the brow arches, you can use special pencils, mascara, shadows. If there are no problems with the use of the last two tools, then not everyone knows the secrets of using an eyebrow pencil.

Shadows and mascara do not affect the shape of the eyebrows, they are simply applied to the hairs and fixed with a special gel or spray. But with the help of a pencil or special eyeliner, you can not only make the shade of the eyebrow arches more saturated, but also emphasize their graceful shape. This is done in this way:

1. The thinnest line is drawn along the lower boundary of the growth of the arc with a pencil of black or dark brown shade (the color is selected in accordance with the color of the eyebrows). From the base of the eyebrow, you need to retreat 5 millimeters and bring the line to the very tip of the arc.

2. The same line is drawn along the upper border of the brow hair growth. Where the tip is, the lines connect.

3. Two lines have formed an outline that needs to be shaded with a pencil. With a lead, you need to make thin lines that mimic the hairs as much as possible – their thickness, length and direction of growth. There should not be any continuous long lines inside the contour, only small shading. If the strokes come out too clear and the eyebrows look unnatural, you can take the applicator or brush and blend the lines a little.

4. After drawing and shading the contour, the hairs need to be combed in the direction of their growth and slightly up. You can fix the result with a gel, wax, make-up fixing spray.

Choosing a lipstick for brunettes with brown eyes

Lipstick for brunettes with brown eyes should be selected in accordance with the general color type of a woman, her skin tone.

In everyday make-up, you can limit yourself to a transparent or colored sheen.

If a woman has naturally dark skin or has acquired a tan, calm, cold and warm tones, for example, peach, beige, pale pink, will suit her. For a brighter make-up, you can choose brighter and more saturated colors – red, marsala, fuchsia, terracotta, brick.
