Everyday make up tips for dark brown eyes?

hey there i have dark brown eyes probably the same colour as black coffee and i want an everyday easy look to make them appear lighter and softer.Everyday make up tips for dark brown eyes?
If you want your eyes to look lighter, I'd advise against using black mascara and/or liner. Instead, try brown.





I have dark brown eyes also. My everyday eye makeup is concealer under the eyes, a pink shadow with a slight gold shimmer from the lashline to the crease, and a sable brown shadow in the crease and along the lower lashline instead of liner. I top it off with a brown mascara.

I have very dark brown eyes too. You can't make them appear lighter with makeup. But you can soften them with brown eyeshadow on the lids, a lighter brown near the socket, and a fairly light highlight shade near the eyebrows.





Dark green and olive green eyeshadow looks good, as does dark purple, and copper colours.





A makeup artist used dark blue eyeshadow on me (despite my protests) and I was quite shocked at how good it looked. So give blue a try for an evening look - you might be surprised.
Why make them appear lighter?! They're an awesome color. Instead make them POP. Use a light shimmery nude base coat (for the eyeshadow). A tiny bit of light blue eyeshadow on just the lid. Black eyeliner and mascara (not going overboard on either) and the softest color of pink on your lip!
Lighter browns and gold should lighten your eyes, as long as the eyeliner isn't too heavy.


You're lucky though brown eyes can get away with wearing almost any eye colour, greens can be particularly nice with brown eyes :)
pretty, springtime eyes can be created using some of the new pastel, frosted eyeshaddow colours. try some of the new offbeat colours like pink or yellow. use them to line all the way around your eyes.





again, firstly youll need to prep the lid, this is the key to keeping your eyeshaddow put all day long. this will also stop your shaddow melting into your eyelid crease after a few hours. to do this, start wil an eyeshaddow base/primer. try MAC's prep and prime eye or fresh freshface perfecting eye primer. then the rest is simple, just apply your colour, if you want two seperate colours then remember to blend, blend, blend. finish off with some brown or black mascara and there you have it, another great look.





this look is great for eyes that are close set, use lighter coloured eyeshaddow on the inner portion of the lid towards the nose and darker eyeshaddow on the outer edge of the lid. (reverse technique should be used to apply eyeshaddow for widely spaced eyes).








NEUTRAL COLOURS:





the best make-up colours for brown eyes are actually neutrals. try colours in the brown family like taupes and peaches. l'oreal do some lovely neautral shades. try to somewhat coordinate your look. i dont mean your shaddow should be beige, your blush should be beige, and your lipstick should be beige. i dont mean a monotone colour, just a coordinated one.





apply primer as described previously. apply eyeliner under the eyes (above eyelashes) and a thin line above the eyes close to the eyelashes. grab your eyeshadow brush that is thinnest and dab it in the eyeshadow. raise your eyebrows, find the crease of your upper eyelid (where you might feel the bone for the top of your eye socket), and then take the brush and line it with the eyeshadow. do it as if you're holding a pencil and you're using it to draw on your eyes. do this to make a half circle above your eyes. (don't go too far out to the side of your face when doing this step).





to do the bottom part of the eyeshadow, take out your thin brushed eyeshadow brush again and dab it in your black eyeshadow. (tap it on the rim to get rid of excess eyeshadow that could fall off the brush and leave unattractive black spots of eyeshadow under your eyes or on your cheeks!) with one easy motion, start by putting the brush under your bottom lashes and sweeping it from side to side in a straight motion to create the point under the eye on both sides.





touch up by making sure no excess eyeshadow fell onto unwanted places on your face and adding a little concealer to seal the deal. and you're done!








COORDINATE YOUR COLOURS:





if you are wearing shaddows from the brown family, try a peach blush. if you are wearing a more colourful shaddow like violet or blue, use a berry or rose coloured blush. keep like colours together: muted with muted. bright with bright.





make-up for brown eyes really has no rules. when selecting an eyeliner, you can go with dark browns for a natural look and black for a more intense look. you can frame your eyes with tons of mascara and not end up looking all panda eyed. play it up and emphasize it all you want.





hope this helps
