Make Your Brown Eyes Look Amazing With Smokey Eye Makeup

by Ewa Linsey

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.

You can make your brown eyes richer and more infused with their natural color. How? Learn all about enhancing. The simplest way to do it is to pick eye makeup opposite to your eye color. Apply a cool shade to enhance your warm brown eyes. And they will gain intensity.

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.

What about finding perfect, reliable smokey eyes? With brown eyes you can wear lots of colors of eye makeup. But it is not a complete free-for-all. Some shades are better than others. To learn about all the color solutions get my free report on smokey eyes for brown eyes Below see my three top recommendations for brown-eyed ladies: colors that are guaranteed to flatter and deliver the smokey eye magic.

Tip 1: you just can't go wrong with brown smokey eyes. An appropriate shade will harmonize perfectly with your brown eyes: it's a really safe bet. The result is earthy and sexy. And now is the time to wear it since brown smokey eyes are all the rage. For a bit more "oomph!" you can spice it up with bronze, gold or copper. A brown-eyed celebrity that does this look to perfection is Kim Kardashian. She is the living proof that brown eye makeup can be very seductive. One thing to bear in mind with brown smokey eyes is to use a bit of color on mouth and cheeks, such as coral or delicate pink, to keep the look from being overly monochromatic.

Suggestion number two will make your brown eyes pop: navy and rich blue do this job perfectly. They are cool colors which will contrast with the warmth of the brown eyes. They look great as an element of color or as a full-on dose: such as dark blue smokey eyes worn by Oprah Winfrey at the Met Gala this year. Feel free to experiment with lighter shades of blue as well: recently Eva Mendez finished off her brown smokey eyes with a blue liner (thus enhancing her brown eyes.)

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.

Brown eyes are made for smokey eyes! So take advantage of this blessing and look smoldering with smokey looks in charcoal, blue and brown. And have fun!
