How to make beautiful makeup for brown eyes for blondes?

If a blonde with blue eyes is a classic, then a brown-eyed blonde is a rare and even slightly surprising combination, unforgettable and impressive. Blond hair here is an expression of tenderness, brown eyes – sensuality. Whatever makeup you choose, first prepare yourself – understand the intricacies and rules.

Features of makeup for brown-eyed blondes

The contrast of brown eyes and blond hair makes the appearance bright and catchy even without makeup. Depending on the desired effect, make-up can balance the image or further enhance the contrast.

Skin color type

Before we dive into the basics of eye makeup, let’s talk about skin. After all, a lot depends on its type, and if you choose the wrong foundation, you can spoil the whole makeup. The color type of the girl is also important, it happens:

• summer;
• autumn;
• winter;
• spring.

Girls with such an unusual appearance usually have fair or neutral skin, but there are also brown-eyed blondes with dark skin.

The color type is easy to determine. To do this, stand in front of a mirror and put a sheet of white paper to your face. Then follow the gradation:

• if the skin next to it becomes pink or olive, it has a cold type (“winter”);
• if the skin has become light golden or apricot, this indicates a spring type;
• “summer” skin becomes ivory or pink-beige;
• “autumn” type becomes yellow-red or yellow-beige.

To choose the right makeup for your face type, it is important to choose cosmetics in good light (preferably daylight).

Color palette depending on the shade of the eyes

A lot also depends on the shade of the eyes. The subdivision and nuances are as follows:

• Light brown eyes. Pink and lavender are best suited, while peach and apricot flowers should be avoided.
• Dark brown eyes. Use colorful berry tones instead of beiges and browns.

Choice of funds

Emphasis on the eyes is a good move, as for blondes with brown eyes, this is the most important and most striking detail of their appearance. Especially carefully approach the choice of shadows, eyeliner and mascara. But do not forget about the importance of other means.

primer

Acts as a base for foundation. The ingredients included in its composition help to significantly increase the durability of makeup. This product evens out the texture of the skin and makes it smoother, often helps to hide minor imperfections, such as large pores.

It is better to choose a product that has a caring and moisturizing effect, and also protects the skin from the negative effects of the sun.

Foundation

Each foundation must match your skin tone and color exactly. If you lighten the skin with foundation, blond hair will look paler against the background, and the face will become inconspicuous. And too dark foundation against the background of blond hair will look extremely unnatural.

In summer, use foundation with a light texture and sun protection.

Shadows

Golden light most of all emphasizes the depth of brown eyes. But the effect of champagne or bronze is no worse than “pure gold”. The standard choice for everyday makeup for girls with brown eyes are all shades of brown – from light coffee to dark khaki. Red is also a great choice. Shadows with a metallic effect will give a similar brightness to the image – brown eyes will shine with renewed vigor. Brown-eyed blondes can safely use black shadows. It looks very impressive.

The plum shade also harmonizes perfectly with brown eyes. Choose a ripe plum color with a metallic sheen to make your eyes sparkle.

Makeup artists consider the most relevant and fashionable eye shadow for girls with brown eyes and blond hair to be:

• lavender;
• gold;
• sand;
• brown;
• turquoise;
• cinnamon color;
• dark pink.

Depending on the skin color type, cinnamon, purple or mauve are suitable. For daytime makeup, you can choose coral, ocher, beige, cream or yellow-green shades.

ink

Girls with brown eyes can use black or brown mascara. But don’t overdo it – jet black can affect your eye color. For daytime makeup, it is better to choose mascara of chocolate, eggplant, grayish, clay shades.

In the summer, try using warm green mascara. In winter, blue with any tint is best suited.

Eyeliner

Blue graphic arrows paired with dark brown eyes and blonde hair are the best make-up choice for special occasions. For daytime make-up, choose brown shades.

Eyebrow products

According to the rules of makeup, eyebrows should be the same color as hair. For light ash blonde and “cold” skin, the eyebrow pencil should have a gray undertone. Blonde with a red tint goes well with red-brown eyebrows.

Pomade

In lip makeup, it is better for brown-eyed blondes to use saturated noble colors – mother-of-pearl or matte, such as cherry, wine, plum, terracotta, etc. Such shades will help to further emphasize the look and create a spectacular image:

• dusty rose;
• Marsala;
• brown;
• terracotta;
• brick;
• plum.

Blondes with brown eyes should avoid lip gloss and tint. It is better to choose nude lipsticks with a base color. Gloss and tints moisturize and brighten the lips, but in the case of using other cosmetics, the smile is lost against the general background.

4. With a light brown or light gray pencil, draw a smooth line above the eyelashes and carefully paint over the voids in the eyelashes. Increase the pressure on the pencil, and draw a wider line from the inner corner to the outer. The arrow should extend slightly beyond the eye.
5. Apply on the moving eyelid the shadow that matches the color of the selected pencil as closely as possible. With a thin brush, blend them a little, complementing the existing lines.
6. Add shadows to the outer corner of the eye to make it oval. This step can be done in the “loop” technique, rounding off the corners, but leaving the main part empty. Blend to create a smooth transition effect, gently touching the moving eyelid.
7. With black eyeliner, draw a thin arrow along the lash line. It is recommended to slightly raise the angle of the arrow. Carefully paint over the eyelashes with black mascara.

1. Apply a beige base on the eyelids. Spread it with your fingers over the moving eyelid, stewing towards the eyebrows, and add a little to the lower eyelid.
2. Use a natural fluffy brush to apply and blend matte nude shadows. This extra step before applying eyeliner will enhance your makeup and prevent marks on your eyelids.

4. On the upper eyelid, draw a line of eyelashes along the entire eye with a pencil.
5. Highlight the entire lower eyelid with eyeliner and draw it along the lash line. Do not place the eyeliner perpendicular to the eyelid. In this case, the tips and lines will be uneven. Instead, try applying the entire brush to increase contact with your eyelids. This makes it much easier to get straight lines.
6. Draw the inner corners of the arrows. Make sure they are as sharp as the outer tail. Apply a pencil to the mucous membrane from above and below.
7. If you find “space” between the eyelashes, paint over them with the same pencil to remove the voids on the makeup. Apply thick black mascara to the eyelashes, if necessary, glue bunches of false eyelashes.
8. Lips do not need to be given bright accents, it is enough to moisten them with a transparent balm or gloss, or complement them with a stylish make-up with the effect of kissed lips. To do this, even out the lip shade with concealer, then add a dark color to the center, gradually blending towards the edges and creating a gradient.
9. Use lipstick as a blush to highlight your cheekbones.

5. With a brown tint, outline the outline of the shape of the eye from below and above. Blend.
6. Line the upper lash line with a brown pencil. Lightly blend the resulting arrow.
7. Paint over the eyelashes with brown mascara, coloring the space between the eyelashes well.

What should blondes with brown eyes avoid?

There are several points that brown-eyed blondes are contraindicated:

• Orange and all its shades. Such tones create the effect of “rabbit eyes” on the face, especially in combination with light brown irises.
• Incorrectly selected tonal agent. This makes the makeup untidy, and the appearance as a whole – sloppy.
• Any cold tones. Not a single cold color can be called absolutely combined with brown eyes, even with a “winter” skin type. Cool colors are easy to identify – they do not have reflections of red, pink or yellow. That is, the shade of a dusty rose may suit you, but an ashy tone is unlikely to suit you.
• One eyelid tone for the entire eyelid. Also, always consider facial features so that the shadows make your face special, rather than accentuate imperfections.

Another common mistake for brown-eyed blondes is too dark eyebrows.

Helpful Tips

For a good make-up, it is not enough to have a palette of suitable colors. It is important to understand how to combine them and how to emphasize certain components of the image with their help. We’ve put together some helpful tips to help you do just that:

• If you want to highlight lips. In any case, do not completely ignore the eyes. At least surround them with light translucent shades of one of the above shadow colors.
• It is best to focus on the eyes. For blondes with brown eyes, experts strongly recommend focusing on the look. An excellent solution would be expressive arrows or smokey ice.
• Be sure to consider your skin tone. The quality and beauty of the applied makeup directly depends on this. Pay special attention to the selection of tonal means.

Apply make-up only in good lighting.

Not all brown-eyed blondes know how to apply makeup correctly. But this can be learned. Now you know the basic rules of make-up. With them, you can easily create a harmonious image on your own and emphasize your natural beauty.
