Best eye makeup for brown eyes
Choosing the best eye makeup for brown eyes can be a difficult process. You have so many options when it comes to your choice of colors, but which is the best? The best eye makeup for brown eyes will bring out the color in your eyes and enhance your look without making it too overbearing or completing it with other colors to make it work.
Brown eyes are a lot of fun to play with, but they can be tricky to get right. Here are our top five tips for finding the best eye makeup for brown eyes:
- Go with a deeper shade of brown. Brown eyes can be one of the most difficult colors to work with because they’re so dark, so you don’t want to add too much color or contrast. A deep brown shade will make your eyes pop without overpowering them.
- Keep it simple—no glitter! Glitter is great for parties, but it’s not something you want to wear every day. Stick to matte shades when you’re going for everyday wear, and save the sparkle for special occasions.
- Choose an eyeliner that matches your skin tone—this will help prevent that dreaded line from showing up around your lid as well as help keep your look understated and natural looking instead of overdone or clownish looking which is something we all want to avoid in order to keep ourselves looking put together at all times no matter where we go or what we do during our day (even if this means just washing dishes).
