Best makeup for big pretty brown eyes?

Question

Look I'm not trying to be conceited when I said beautiful but what eye makeup should I use? I have bigg brown eyes, exactly almond shaped. They are medium dark brown. I have super dark black long eyelashes SO I DON'T WEAR MASCARA. I want advice for EYELINER, EYESHADOW. Like details like for eyeliner should I put it on top lid on the outside, or should I put the eyeliner on the inside or what. I need like a makeup artist. I really want to emphasize my pretty eyes, as they are one of my best features. Thank you.

Answer 1

Our eyes are quite similar. I now wear my eyeliner on top, but dont put as much on the bottom. Adding eyeliner to the top of your eye will emphasize you're big brown eyes as it has an enlarging effect which opens them up, in my opinion this is the best way to do it if you want to attract attention to your eyes. But if you do it this way make sure you do it neatly.
Great colours for eyeshadow on brown eyes are gold, purple, mauve, grey, lilac, bronze. I think the best way to do it is use 2 eyeshadows. One for your lid which should be the darker colour and the 2nd eyeshadow should be a lighter shade to put in your inner eye and up just beneath your brows. Another way to make you're eyes stand out is by applying some concealer beneath and around your eyes. It brightens your eye area up. I hope this helps but it sounds like you already have beautiful brown eyes so if you're eyes are already you're best asset then chances are they dont need much more detail.

I recomend using a light allover wash of color in a cream color a few shades lighter than your skin tone. Be sure to get the inside corner of your eye by your nose, that will brighten up the entire eye area. then take a darker shade, a deep brown, charcoal or a navy and work some onto the outer 2/3rds of your crease and slightly above. Blend well!
For your eyeliner use either a deep brown or black for a more natural look or a deep navy will make the whites of your eyes appear whiter and make you look more refreshed. Go all the way across the top thickening the line as you go out, then apply somewhat lighter on the outer 2/3rds of your bottom lid.
I also have big brown eyes and I used to be a makeup artist so I hope this is helpful!

I love a sapphire blue, teal, green, or plum on a brown eye - all of those really bring the color out and you could successfully use a combo of any of those colors or just a variation of one of those for an eyeliner/shadow combo. I'd probably vote for keeping it simple, at first anyway.
As for application, I would do a smoky effect with different shades of one of those colors. Here is an amazing tutorial on doing it:

(just click on "smoky eye" on the menu to the left)
she uses dark "smoky" colors but I've done this with a variety of colors with amazing results.
To get you started there are a few low cost eyeshadows that offer a great variety and excellent quality. Believe it or not - wet n wild shadows are exellent and often come in a pallete of three colors that work well together. Another drugstore brand that works really well is Milani. It's sold at walgreens and target where I'm located. The makeup board at www.makeupalley.com (also an amazing place for tips and photos) goes crazy over these brands - finding them comperable to higher end brands like mac and stila.
If you can shop online www.nyxcosmetics.com has a HUGE assortment of colors, good prices and good quality.
Over all, do a lot of experimenting and have fun with it. Your eyes sound amazing!
Hope that helps.

Hey! I too have big brown eyes! I'm going to suggest you use MAC products... they can be really expensive.. depending but it's the stuff that works. I go for a natural look that makes my eyes pop at the same time. I wear gold tints/ hues-- on the eyelid. A light shimmer--- under my eye brows to the eye lid. Browns/not too heavy!-- on the crease. I wear the water proof eyeliner.. stubborn brown... on the insides of my eye lid. and i wear a powder eye liner under the rim.. thin line. And then starting from a little past the middle of my eye lid i make a fading line that starts hin to a little thicker towards the ends. Even though you have really long lashes i suggest with this you use mascara. just for the color. you can tell them you don't want the length just the body.. they can really help out.

I don't have the time right ow but i can send you a list of the colors and products i use..also pictures to show you how to apply... if you'd like!

hope this works/ helps!

Hey! That sounds like me!LoL. I also got big brown almond shaped eyes wit dark long eyelashes, so i noe what u mean. I've tried black pencil eyeliner in the inside a couple of times. It looked really good. But it's just a pain in the neck 2 put it on. But after the first few times u probably get used 2 it.
Try 2 avoid the liquid eyeliner, that u paint on, on da outside. It looks bad. Since ur eyes r already big, u don't really need it.
I don' really noe about eyeshadow though... srry. I hope what i wrote about eyeliner helped though. : )

What colors are the 'flecks' in your eyes? What color is the ring around your iris? Those colors are usually flattering.
For brown eyes -
try shadow shades of green [ mint, jade, hunter ],
blue [ baby, royal, navy ],
purple [ lavender, bright, eggplant ],
gray [ silver or charcoal ].
Enhance by using a darker shade of same color [ mint with hunter green, baby blue with navy etc. ], or charcoal or black liner.
Also try using a brown of a different shade than your eyes -
rust shadow if you have golden brown eyes, copper if you have coffee colored eyes, etc.
Go outside after you makeup your face to make sure you look pretty, not 'hey, sailor!'

Ok I used to do makeup and I too have HUGE brown almond shaped eyes. It all depends on how heavy a look you're going for. I personally draw all attention to my eyes. I go with dark colors on the eyes and very neutral cheeks and lips.

here is what I use: brown brow liner to even out brows, pink frost liquid shadow as a base from brow to lashes, light brown in the crease, black shadow lightly applied in the inner corner and outer corner. all shadow applied only with brushes. never sponge. always begin with a little color and fan it out. add more for more drama but always blend. as for liners... sable colored liquid on the top lid, sable pencil lightly blended on the botton lid. none on the inside. then i top off with mascara.

Answer 10

Well....it sounds like you have natural beauty and dont need to overdo the makeup and look fake. so what i would go with is mac or even go to the nearest drugstore and buy like shimmery brownish gold colors. dont overdo the eyeshadow. and honestly i wouldnt even wear eyeliner but if you do only wear a little because eyeliner hides your eyes and makes them look smaller.other than that you should be set!hope i helped you out!
