Brown eyes are beautiful and versatile, but sometimes they need a little help to really pop. One way to enhance your brown eyes and give them a sultry, mysterious look is by creating a smokey eye. And the best part? It can be done effortlessly! Here’s how:
Step 1: Prep the Eye Area
Start by prepping the eye area with an eye primer or concealer to create a smooth, even base. This will also help your makeup last longer.
Step 2: Apply Eyeshadow
Using a medium-sized eyeshadow brush, apply a medium-toned brown shade to the crease of your eye, blending it outwards towards the brow bone. Then, using a smaller brush, apply a darker brown or black shade to the outer corner of your eye, blending it inwards to create a gradient effect.
Step 3: Add Some Shimmer
To add some dimension and shine to your smokey eye, use a shimmery eyeshadow or glitter and apply it to the inner corner of your eye and the center of your lid. This will make your eyes appear brighter and more youthful.
Step 4: Line and Define
Using a black eyeliner, line both your upper and lower lash line, making sure to smudge it slightly with a brush or your finger to create a softer, more blended look. You can also add a thin line of eyeliner to your waterline to really make your eyes pop.
Step 5: Finish with Mascara
To complete the look, apply a coat or two of volumizing mascara to your upper and lower lashes, making sure to wiggle the wand at the base of your lashes to really coat them well. This will add extra drama and emphasis to your smokey eye.
And there you have it! An effortless smokey eye tutorial that will enhance the natural beauty of your brown eyes. So next time you’re looking to add a little drama to your makeup look, give this tutorial a try!
