Makeup for a brown dress
Makeup for a brown dress can be a little tricky. It’s easy to go too dark when you’re trying to match a demure, understated tone. And unless you are going for the “natural” look, it’s usually better to go brighter than darker, especially around the eyes and lips.
Getting your makeup right for a brown dress is easy.
Brown is a neutral color, so you can go with any look you want. If you want to keep things simple, choose an eye and lip color that complement the dress. For example, if it’s a dark brown dress, then choose a darker eye shadow and darker lipstick to match. If it’s a light brown dress, then go with lighter shades.
If you want to go bolder with your look, then try using two different shades of brown makeup products on your eyes (like an eyeliner and an eyeshadow). This will give your look color without going overboard—and it will complement the color of the dress nicely!
To get an even bolder look, try adding some gold or copper jewelry pieces to your outfit!

1. Ace the base
If you plan to wear a gorgeous brown gown, here’s what you can do to make your brown gown makeup stand out. Begin your face makeup with a primer that will help you create a smooth canvas for the rest of your brown gown makeup. Further, apply a foundation to create an even complexion and smooth texture. Follow this step by using a concealer to banish the blemishes and highlight certain parts of your face such as your eye contours and the top of your cheekbones. Find your perfect concealer shade match by answering a few questions on the Maybelline Foundation Finder tool. Go for a shade or two lighter to create a brightening effect. Finish off your makeup for a brown dress by using powder.

This will enhance your natural radiance and make you stand out within the crowd.

Planning to wear an elegant brown saree? Your eyes should speak volumes with your saree. Remember, a good eye makeup for a brown dress can do wonders to your look. Start your brown saree makeup by filling in sparse or uneven eyebrows. You can go for various styles to apply eyeshadow for the brown dress such as metallic, smokey eyes with wingtips or the cut crease look to create magic. If your wish to go a step ahead, add coloured eyeliner to your eyes. For the perfect finish, complete your brown saree makeup with two coats of mascara.
