Makeup Colors for Women with Brown Hair and Brown Eyes

Makeup colors for women with brown hair and brown eyes are endless.  Here are a few suggestions to try if your hair and eyes are dark brown.

Eyeshadow - Highlight below the brow and at the inside corner of the eye with a light cream eyeshadow
 
To the eye lid apply chocolate, caramel, amethyst, sea lilly, or gold for a beautiful look.

If you are dressing for an evening out in a black or gold outfit, go for glam with gold eyeshadow on the lids and thicken your lashes with a set of artificial lashes for the evening. 

Lipstick - A rule of thumb when wearing lipstick with darker eyeshadow is to balance out your makeup.  When wearing dark eye makeup, opt for a more subtle lip color such as nude or tan; or clear lip gloss.

When wearing a natural eye makeup look, brighten your face with  lip color with a bit of pop to it.

Blush - To bring it all together, select blush in the same tone as your lipstick. For example, if you are wearing brown lipstick, select a blush with brown undertones.

Brows - For burnettes, brunette brow powder or pencil will look more natural than black.

two colors of powder, a brow wax to hold hairs in place and a lid primer in yellow. There are also two high quality application brushes, one with a spoolie on one end, and a small pair of tweezers that really work. Mix the two powder colors for the exact shade you want. I find that I use a lighter color during the day and darken them up for evening – especially if I’m wearing a red lipstick (still a hot color.) The wax can be put on before you apply the powders if you want a lot of pay-off. Otherwise, color your brows and then put a light coating of wax on top to hold them. The lemon lid primer is especially good if you’ve just plucked and left yourself a bit red. It will conceal the redness and act as a pretty highlighter. Brow Powders (x2)
