Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Moisturizer
• Mirror
• Good lighting
• Eye Liner
• Eyebrow pencil
• Eyeshadow
• Mascara

1. 

   Apply a small amount of eye moisturizer on the eyelids and around your eyes. Let the moisturizer sit on the eyes for approximately 10 minutes. This gives time for skin to drink in the beauty nutrients.

2. 

   Select eyeliner that matches your brown eyes. Don’t stick with the traditional black eyeliner liner makeup for brown eyes. A dark green eye liner will give a deep and alluring appearance. Deep purple or lilac eyeliner is great for evening wear to create a dramatic look for your eyes.
   
   Only apply eyeliner makeup to the area under your lower eyelashes and just slightly above your upper eyelashes.

3. 

   If you have very thin eyebrows, you will next apply a charcoal or light brown eyebrow pencil to the eyebrows. This will help to open your eyes.
   
   You can even add a highlighter makeup to the brow bone region near the eyebrows that is one shade lighter than your natural skin tone. This will open up the eye region if you have narrow or small eyes.

4. 

   Colors of eye shadow makeup for brown eyes are extremely varied. It truly depends on the look you are trying to achieve. For an evening look, go with purples. For a daytime and natural look, go with shades of brown. For a dramatic look, go with navies. For an open look, go with dark greens.
   
   Apply an eye shadow makeup darker at the bottom of the top eyelid (near the eyelashes) and blend it into a lighter shade as you go up toward the eyebrow region. You can go over the base color with a lighter color to give a softer look.

5. 

   There are many different makeup colors to choose from for mascara. Again, it will depend on the type of look that you are trying to achieve with your makeup. The best cosmetic technique is to use mascara that matches the eye shadow color.
   
   Ideally, you should only apply mascara products to the top eye lashes.

6. 

   Use a large, soft bristle makeup brush to dust off your eyes when you are done applying all the different makeup products. This will give your eyes a finished look.
