Decorative cosmetics allows brunettes to correctly place accents, emphasize natural sensuality and expressiveness. With the help of makeup, you can create an image that is appropriate for any occasion. This gives self-confidence. The main thing is to find your own combination of colors and textures.

What to consider when applying makeup?

Basic rules help to emphasize the strengths of brunettes:

• Eyebrows should be one or two shades lighter than hair. When choosing the color of the eyebrow filler, you can focus on the natural shade of the hair.
• Contouring is a way to make facial features more refined. Warm tinted bronzer and highlighter add shine and highlight brown hair.
• Do not forget about blush, because dark hair makes the face look pale. Peach is suitable for girls with a lighter shade of hair, pink – with a darker one.

Color of the skin

Consider the characteristics of your skin to choose the right cosmetics:

• Dark skin. Girls with swarthy skin note her tendency to grayness. To fix the problem, choose the right foundation. Its shade should be a tone darker than the skin on the neck. You will need a concealer with reflective particles to add a satin sheen to the cheekbones.
• Bright skin. On pale thin skin, veins, redness, dark circles under the eyes are often visible. In this case, choose sets of color correctors from 4 colors: green masks redness, pink – circles under the eyes, purple – age spots, yellow – rashes.

eye color

To make a harmonious makeup, it is important to consider the color of the eyes. The general rules are:

• Light eyes. Keep a balance in the contrast between the color of the iris and the shade of the shadows. Pale tones will make the eyes even lighter, too saturated tones will block the natural shade.
• Blue eyes. According to Itten’s color wheel, colors suitable for blue are: yellow, orange, purple.
• Grey eyes. Absolutely all primary colors and their shades go well with gray.
• Brown eyes. A universal color that goes well with brown eyes of any lightness is blue. Green, pink, copper are also suitable.

• Black hair. Accentuate the eyes with smoky shades like charcoal or navy blue. A pink blush can be applied to the cheeks. This creates a contrast between daring boldness and gentle timidity.
• Medium brown hair. Chestnut gives you a wide range of color options, from earthy neutrals to bold, juicy coral, berry and pink.
