Get Smoky Eyes Using Brown Eyeshadow
Edited by Kara, MsBarbs, Eng, Dougie
Today I will show you how to make brown smoky eyes. Today, in order to do that we will need Flormar brown chocolate palette eyeshadows, MAC facial powder and Maybelline brown eyeliner. That's all we need.
Steps
- 1I'm not putting on any foundation today, just a facial powder to hide any imperfections and even out my skin color. This facial powder is a little lighter than my natural skin-tone. The area around your mouth is very important, as are the corners of your mouth and your eyelids.So we will start with a slight foundation.
- 2Applying powder on your eyes allows you to cover the dark circles around your eyes.The eyelids are especially important when you do eye makeup.
- 3One has dark circles, the other does not.Can you see the difference?
- 4Don't forget your ears and some of your neck.
- 5I am going to be using a flat brush.
- 6If you are limited in the number of brushes you have, you always want to start with the lighter tones so that you don't mess up your makeup. If you use the darker tones first then you want to apply lighter tones you may end up with the darker colors in areas where do not want them.I'm going to start with the whitest tone to highlight my eyebrows like I normally do.
- 7I look like a moth right now.Also, I am applying the highlight into the inner corners of my eyes.
- 8It is a little darker. It is a peachy color.Now I'm going to move to the next color.
- 9The color graduation should be very subtle. There should not be any hard lines. You want to achieve the smoky effect on your on your eyes. This color goes on your whole eyelid.I'm going to apply it all over my eyelid.
- 10So, step number three, we have moved to the darker tone, which is the lighter brown.
- 11It's a base for the darker color. Do the other eye. Keep in mind that we are using the same brush for all four colors.The lighter brown color will go on the same eyelid, but it will cover less area than the previous tone did.
- 12This goes on your eyelid right next to your eyelashes. If you want to achieve a really dark tone, or if you want to make your eyelids darker, which I'm doing today, you can wet your brush and apply the eyeshadow with a wet brush.Last step, we are going to apply the darkest tone.
- 13So as you can see there is a slight border here and here so I need to plan those in and for those I'm going to use a different brush. We are done with eyeshadows.These need to be blended all the way so that there are no obvious borders between the colors.
- 14I will use a brush to wipe that off then follow that with some facial powder.As you can see I have fall off on my cheeks and it makes him look dirty.
- 15I am going to line the lash line as well as the water line.So to line the bottom eyelid, I'm going to use brown eyeliner by Maybelline.
- 16I'm not using black eyeliner because I think brown looks better because it's not as bold. We are making a smoky brown eye, so we want that to match.I'm going to line the upper eyelid now as well.
- 17I lined the bottom lash line and the water line.Let's do the same thing with the left.
- 18Then follow that by lining the upper eyelid.
