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.
What does it mean to enhance your eye color? It means: to make it look more intense and rich. The best way to enhance is to use eye makeup that is of a contrasting color. Such as a cold blue eyeshadow on brown eyes.
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.
My first recomendation is: brown smokey eyes. It sound pretty obvious but it just works together so well! And it is convenient too because brown and earth toned makeup is totally on trend this (and next) season! You can play with different finishes (matte, irridescent, shimmery), introduce a variety of shades and related colors like bronze and gold. If you are still not convinced just consider these two words: Kim Kardashian. She single-handedly made brown smokey eyes sexy and hot: need I say more? A tip worth remembering: refresh this look by using a dash of soft color with your blush and lipstick.
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 third suggestion would be a smokey eye classic: charcoal. Charcoal gives a decisive yet elegant smokey eye look. It’s the color of choice of Victoria Beckham. Her smokey eyes are legendary and she knows that charcoal is a universally flattering hue, perfect for brown eyes. She likes to spice it up with some silver, especially in the inner corner of the eye. I have also seen charcoal combined with navy: mixed together they can make a sophisticated, three-dimensional smokey eye which enhances brown eyes superbly. Another spectacular, although more audacious, design would be mixing charcoal and a dash of purple: Kim Kardashian wore it recently at the 13th Annual Super Saturday.
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!
