Some looks call for deeper shades while other browns are mostly nudes. If you have a few browns in your collection, you’ll notice they have different undertones.
From cool nude bases to warm red orange browns, it’s fun to get to know the products you already have so that you know what you need for your own well rounded artist’s palette.
When using brown eyeshadow in the daytime, it’s a pretty good rule of thumb to keep the darker shades from the inner corner of your eyes. Browns of deeper shades are most often used to compliment a variety of skin tones as the most popular contouring color. Some skin tones require brown on the olive or khaki side while others might need a more pink or golden based brown.
To achieve a dramatic night time look, you can opt for brown in the inner and outer corner and create a classic halo effect. This effect would hold the deeper brown in all corners, while the lighter shade of brown, nude or gold would work into the center to create a dimensional effect through contour.
A contemporary brown eyeshadow idea is to use a yellow or yellow orange tone color as a highlight. Brown is an ideal transitional color because it is so easy to blend. Utilizing pink or red eyeshadow with brown is a good idea too.
Because it is such a useful color, its always smart to change up your browns for the season to round out your collection and keep your makeup looks on par with current fashion trends.
