Brown eyes: How to adapt your make-up to the shade of your eyes?
First, it is important to remember that all colors are suitable for brown eyes. However, you can play on the contrast between two complementary colors to bring out the color of your eyes. It is also important not to forget other factors that come into play in determining whether a color will suit us or not such as our phenotype, our style of dress, or our personal tastes. Make-up is above all made to please you and to feel beautiful, so do not hesitate to have fun when you put on make-up!
To find out which colors are best for brown eyes, we can use the color wheel. And there, back in childhood, we remember that brown is a mixture of three primary colors: cyan blue, magenta red, and yellow. If you have brown eyes you are in luck you can play with any color! However, there are tones to favor depending on the type of brown in your eyes:
If you have very dark brown eyes: You’re in luck you can afford all the shades since we are not trying to create a contrast and the shade of your eyes is not likely to interfere with another color. The shades of green, blue, red, pink, and orange are yours. We still prefer colors in warm tones to bring intensity to the eyes.
If you have brown or light brown eyes: Golden, copper hues will bring out the gold in your eyes. You can also go for brown, brown, or cream shades, they will be perfect for creating an everyday look and accentuating your look if you play around with different shades of brown. Finally, you can also opt for warm and dark purples or greens to create evening or more extravagant looks.
Here you can find our selection of the best makeup palettes, some of which are perfect for brown eyes.
