On the day when a beautiful girl gets married, everything must be perfect, so the bride carefully prepares for this event. In addition to organizing wedding events, even more important is the creation of a formal image - the choice of a wedding dress, accessories, hairstyle and application of festive makeup, which is selected individually taking into account the shade of the iris. What should be the wedding makeup for brown eyes – dark and mysterious? Below we will discuss the features of applying makeup, nuances when choosing shades, and the dependence of the range on hair color.
Features of wedding makeup for brown eyes
If a representative of the fair sex is the happy owner of brown eyes, there should be no doubt about what to focus on. Over the past two years, a new fashion trend has emerged and gained significant popularity - bright lips and an almost complete absence of makeup on the eyes, but in the case of a dark iris, there is nothing better than emphasizing the expressiveness of the gaze. Brown eyes by their nature have warmth and depth, so even without professional makeup they look charming and mysterious.
The bride’s task: to make the correct cut of this jewel for her brown eyes, to help them shine even brighter. A few weeks before the wedding, the hero of the occasion should study makeup options that suit the brown iris of the eyes, and then choose one or two. Together with a makeup artist, a girl can try to implement both methods of applying the chosen makeup, take photographs, and then determine which one will look better with the wedding dress and the rest of the image as a whole. A few tips to help brides do the right brown eye makeup:
- The foundation for the face should not be too greasy, of good quality, long-lasting, so that during the wedding the ideal tone does not become stained or lumps.
- You should not use radiant powders - they can highlight skin imperfections (fine wrinkles, unevenness). The same goes for eye shadow, eyeliner, and lip gloss.
- The ideal tone color is natural. It is worth abandoning options that are too dark or light.
- It is important not to overdo it with blush. If the clear lines of the cheekbones look good in a photo or in the evening, then in natural daylight such makeup will look vulgar.
- A concealer is a good helper when you need to hide small wrinkles and acne.
- A light-reflecting concealer applied to the lower lids of brown eyes can highlight them even more.
Color palette
A rich range of colors for makeup suits brown-eyed beauties:
- First of all, you need to turn to warm chocolate, brown, nutty shades, the color of coffee beans, and delicate honey shades. These shades will perfectly highlight brown eyes and make the look natural. A warm sand color scheme, which is best used with contrasting dark shades, will also look great. It is important to take into account the bride’s color type when choosing makeup; if warm brown is combined with a cool skin color, it is better to give preference to a monochrome black and white palette.
- Girls with brown eyes can also turn to the use of bright, cool shades - cornflower blue, blue, lavender, violet. Green and herbal colors look good - these colors are most suitable for blondes. The only colors that should be avoided at all costs when creating wedding makeup for brown eyes are terracotta and orange. These shades can “extinguish” the radiance of the dark iris, making the look dull and shallow.
- As for the type of holiday makeup itself, the ideal option for a special event would be a smooth gradient transition from the lightest area of applying shadows (in the inner corner of the eye) to the darkest (in the outer corner) - this way the makeup will turn out to be gentle and touching. It is advisable to carefully shade all applied shadows to avoid too sharp, aggressive lines, although the intensity of the makeup itself for brown eyes should be higher than with regular daytime jewelry - then the resulting result will be clearly visible in photographs.
- If the bride likes to surprise and look shocking, brown eyes allow you to make the colors of the festive makeup contrasting and the transitions sharp. A make-up in which the brown iris is favorably emphasized by arrows, and an unusual shade is applied on top - lilac, green or pink - will look beautiful. It is worth understanding that makeup must be combined with the rest of the image, bright color must be present in other details.
Choice of eyeliner and mascara
Considering that the main focus of a girl’s makeup will be her eyes, it is recommended to use eyeliner and mascara. They must certainly be of high quality, because pencil-drawn contours and lush eyelashes will attract the attention of those present. It is better to choose a black liquid eyeliner; the intensity and fat content of the application will vary depending on the wishes of the bride. This tool is perfect both for emphasizing the eyes with light, delicate makeup, and for more daring solutions, for example, with smokey eyes.
Lipstick and lip liner
If a representative of the fair sex with brown eyes decides to focus on them, then lipstick should be chosen in calm, light shades. Do not overdo it by lightening the lip tone too much, otherwise the bride will look too pale in the photo. Lipsticks in natural skin tones are ideal for this type of makeup, without using too much shine.
For this make-up tool, you must definitely use a contour of a suitable shade, a little lighter - for a smooth transition to the skin, a little darker - to clearly outline the lips. The pencil can play the role of a “sculptor” to give a more beautiful shape to a part of the face, and will also provide indispensable help during a busy wedding day - thanks to the contour, the lipstick will not “bleed.”
Wedding make-up for different hair shades
The selection of holiday makeup depends on the color type - autumn, winter, spring or summer. A brown-eyed girl should think not only about the compatibility of makeup colors with the shade of her eyes; the tone with which her hair is dyed or the natural appearance of her hair and skin tone play a big role. Hair color determines the saturation of the selected shadows, foundation, brightness of transitions, and the level of contrast of the applied materials.
For blondes
It is easier for those with blond hair than for brunettes, brown-haired women or redheads to create a gentle, fragile image of a touching princess. Blondes with brown eyes look interesting and unusual on their own, so the only thing a girl needs to do is just to slightly highlight this beauty. Blonde brides may prefer delicate lavender, pink, lilac, blue, white, and sand shades. You should not experiment with dark colors - in combination with bleached hair, such shades will be too heavy, the look can become gloomy and unattractive.
For brunettes
Brown-eyed brunettes look bright and beautiful. Their appearance is so contrasting that they often do not require special makeup, although dark-haired girls can safely use brighter, richer makeup during a wedding than is recommended for blondes. Well shaded smoky shadows will make the look more mysterious, and wedding makeup for brown eyes with arrows will create the image of a confident girl who knows exactly what she wants. Brunettes should not be afraid to use bright pink, purple, brown, and golden shades of eye shadow.
Step-by-step photo instructions for DIY makeup
Many girls, learning makeup at home from videos, photo tutorials, with the help of books or on the advice of friends, have achieved such skill that they can create a unique wedding look on their own, without the help of a professional makeup artist. To make a high-quality formal makeup for brown eyes, the bride will need to arm herself with the appropriate tools - tweezers, an eyebrow comb, brushes for applying and shading eye shadow, as well as essential makeup elements - foundation, powder, concealer, eye shadow, blush, pencils.
In the style of smoky-eyes (smoky eyes)
An interesting style of smokey eye makeup has achieved great popularity due to the fact that it helps to correct the shape of the eyes, making them expressive and shining. There are countless options for applying this makeup - from an evening method to a gentle daytime one. The bride is recommended to give preference to a more relaxed smoky eye style, unless the theme of the wedding suggests otherwise. How to do beautiful makeup:
- The first step is to create an even skin tone. To do this, you need to use a foundation, a concealer to get rid of dark circles under the eyes, as well as a special foundation that is applied to the upper eyelid and will allow the shadows to last all day.
- The second step of makeup is eyeliner with a soft black pencil. The line should be thin, neat, and after application you need to shade it thoroughly.
- The third step is to apply the lightest shade of eyeshadow (in this case, a shimmering white-silver). You need to paint the area under the eyebrow and the inside of the eyelid with shadows. If desired, a girl can simplify her task: as shown in the photo, cover the entire eyelid with a light shade.
- Next, a brown shade is taken, the area from the outer corner of the brown eyes is painted with it - approximately until the middle of the eyelid, everything is shaded.
- Then you need to apply the shadow to the edge of the outer corner of the eyelid and begin to shade it, as shown step by step in the picture.
- The makeup is completed with additional lining with a pencil, if the occasion requires it, as well as the use of high-quality mascara.
With red lipstick and arrows
Makeup that uses red lipstick with eyeliner is a classic evening look. This traditional makeup option is perfect for brunettes with brown eyes, although blondes can also look stunning with this technique, as long as you choose the right colors. How to do classic wedding makeup with arrows and red lips:
- Apply foundation to the face, correct imperfections, hide dark circles under the eyes.
- Lightly powder your face.
- A small amount of blush will make your cheeks more “alive”. For this makeup, pale, natural colors are recommended so as not to create even more contrasts.
- Use suitable light shades of eye shadow to make the arrows look more flattering and the look to be more radiant.
- Starting from the middle, draw the outline of the arrow from the bottom and top, then draw a line from the outer corner of the eye to complete the stroke, as shown in the photo.
- When the outline of the arrow is ready, you need to paint over the empty spaces with eyeliner.
- Use a pencil to slightly tint the lower eyelid and shade it.
- Apply mascara that will separate and visually lengthen the eyelashes on brown eyes.
- Apply lipstick of a suitable shade to your lips. Brides with brown eyes should avoid classic colors to make their makeup more festive and memorable.
On your wedding day you especially want to be beautiful and attractive. The eyes of the groom and guests are focused on the bride, the photographer chooses the best angle... Figure, hairstyle, dress, veil ─ everything is subject to critical analysis, so the bride should look like a feast for the eyes! The eyes always attract special attention. The bride who has brown eyes is very lucky - her eyes are quite expressive, but I want them to glow with even more love and tenderness.
Preparing for wedding makeup
Even bright, glowing eyes require the right design. Photos from a professional photographer taken three to four days before the wedding will help you choose the right makeup for brown eyes for your wedding. This way, the bride will be able to evaluate how comparable the image created with makeup, hairstyle and outfit is to her idea of the ideal, and she will have time to get as close to it as possible. And at the wedding she will be perfection! It is very important that the makeup completely matches the bride’s mood. Only she herself can feel it.
There is another reason to start preparing for the wedding in advance, a few days in advance. You should cleanse your skin and prepare it for applying wedding makeup. For this, various mattifying tonics, lotions, and cosmetic milk are used. It is important to remember that after a procedure such as peeling, the skin will take several days to fully recover. Good hydration will speed up skin recovery and improve its condition. It is advisable to use only proven cleansing creams and masks. Moisturizer is also applied to the area under the eyes.
Skin toning
Applying makeup on your wedding day begins with correcting problem areas of the skin of the face, neck and décolleté: capillary “stars”, bags and dark circles under the eyes, various redness. After such “masking”, a foundation with a dense texture is applied with light rotational movements to keep the cosmetics intact for the entire duration of the wedding.
The foundation will help even out the skin color, and to do this, it should be carefully shaded so that there is no visible border between the neck and face. This can be done with light movements of your fingers or a damp sponge. After this, it is advisable to apply a layer of transparent powder with a large round brush to set the base, and only after that apply a layer of foundation powder.
The emphasis of wedding makeup is on the eyes
The emphasis of makeup for a wedding is mainly on the eyes of the bride, so the choice of cosmetics should be approached responsibly. Makeup should not be annoying or flashy; it only emphasizes the natural beauty of the bride. When designing brown eyes, you need to avoid clear lines, refrain from using dark shadows and black eyeliner pencils, and try to emphasize the tenderness and femininity of the bride.
Both fair-haired and brunettes with brown eyes are recommended to use muted, discreet shades for wedding makeup. For shadows, it is better to choose smoky gray, olive, soft pink, beige, golden, light turquoise color tones. Eyeliner pencils can be dark gray or brown. A white pencil is also used.
Makeup sequence for brown eyes for a wedding
First, using beige shadows or a special foundation, the eyelids are matted, then sequentially, shadows of a lighter shade are applied to the part of the eyelid closest to the bridge of the nose, and darker ones are applied to the outer corners of the eyes. Brown-eyed beauties can use contrasting shadows for wedding makeup; it is important not to overdo it. The boundaries between the shadows are carefully shaded. The lower eyelid is lined with a white or light beige pencil, and a dark pencil is used above the upper eyelid.
For fair-haired, brown-eyed brides, shades of blue, mauve or cream are more suitable; for brown-eyed brunettes, golden, brown or marsh-colored shades are more suitable. You shouldn’t get carried away with shiny rhinestones for the eyelids, because the glare from them can interfere with high-quality photography, but you can use shimmering shadows.
It is recommended to use moisture-resistant mascara, taking into account the duration of wedding events. You can glue on a few artificial eyelashes to create a deeper look. You can lightly powder your eyelashes before applying mascara. This will prevent them from sticking together.
Eyebrows require careful care; their shape on this holiday should be truly ideal. It should be adjusted the day before to eliminate redness. Before the wedding, eyebrows should be lightly lined with a pencil that matches the bride’s hair color, then combed with a special brush and secured with gel.
In wedding makeup, the main emphasis is on the eyes, and the lips should not stand out too much. Lipstick or gloss can be used in soft colors, light pink or soft berry shade. To prevent long-lasting lipstick from drying out your lips too much, it is better to use it with lip gloss of the desired shade.
The final step in wedding makeup is applying blush. They must be matte, preferably peach or pink. They should be applied high on the cheekbones, then blended thoroughly so that they do not stand out too much.
Properly done wedding makeup will highlight the natural beauty of the bride, make her feel like a fairy-tale princess, and will delight the groom and guests.
Brown eyes are expressive even without makeup. But on the wedding day, I want to decorate them, dress them in light and elegant attire. Properly done eye makeup will highlight the color, add shine and freshness to the face, but it is important to do everything according to technology.
Step-by-step makeup routine
To do wedding makeup like in the photo above, you will need brushes of various shapes and thicknesses.
You also need to prepare:
- beige and brown matte shadows;
- shimmery champagne splash and bronze eyeshadows;
- black eyeliner;
- Mascara;
- black pencil.
On a special day, it is important that cosmetics last until late in the evening. Therefore, you need to prepare your skin well, make a scrub and a moisturizing mask. In this case, the foundation will lie firmly. If the skin is oily, then the bride needs to take care of high-quality powder. And so that the shadows do not roll off the eyelids and last all day, you need to apply a foundation underneath them.
Stages of applying wedding makeup for brown eyes:
- Beige shadows are applied to the entire area of the upper eyelid up to the eyebrows using a thick brush.
- Using dark brown shadows and a brush, the crease of the eyelid appears thinner. In wedding makeup, the tip of the line needs to be raised and drawn as a kind of arrow.
- Now you need to shade the line drawn with dark shadows and hide the contrast transition.
- Shimmering shadows the color of champagne splashes are applied to the moving part of the upper eyelid and to the corners of the eyes.
- Thin black arrows with raised tips are drawn with black eyeliner. If you don’t have the skill to draw arrows, then instead of eyeliner in wedding makeup, you can use a liner. Using a felt-tip pen is easier to draw the desired arrow, as is adjusting its thickness.
- Bronze shimmering shadows are used to draw a line under the eyelashes of the lower eyelid, then slightly shaded.
- Use a black pencil to line the lower eyelid along the inner lash line. This must be done carefully, without getting on the mucous membranes of the eye. Otherwise, you can cause lacrimation and you will have to redo your makeup.
- Well, what would wedding makeup be without mascara? For brown eyes, a classic black color is suitable. And in order for it to lie evenly, the eyelashes need to be combed first.
Advice: if your eyes are small or close-set, then you can exclude point No. 7 and do not line the lower eyelid with a black pencil.
This wedding makeup option for brown eyes is perfect for both brunettes and blondes. Instead of beige and brown, you can also use steel, gray, and pink shades. They will favorably emphasize the depth of the look, but at the same time the bride will look gentle.

Summary
By performing wedding makeup for brown eyes of brunettes step by step, the bride will be able to practice creating a chic look. Brown-eyed girls are irresistible by nature. Using simple secrets, they will be able to surpass themselves in the subtle art of makeup.
Women are always sensitive to their appearance, let alone brides! At your wedding you want to look not just good, but simply amazing, because this is one of the most important days in your life.
Making a lasting impression on guests, looking beautiful in photos and videos and, of course, finally winning the heart of your future husband are the main tasks of the day. Wedding makeup for brown eyes has its own subtleties, knowing them, all these points can be easily accomplished and emphasize the beauty given by nature.
Preparation usually begins long before the appointed day; one and a half to two months is the optimal period to get your skin in order and look your best on the wedding day.
If necessary, you should visit a cosmetologist who will perform facial cleansing, massage, and eliminate defects using professional products and equipment. But it is not worth doing laser or photoepilation at this time, it is not known how the body will behave.
Brown-eyed women most often have a dark complexion and even in winter they look fresh and attractive, but if you wish, you can visit a solarium. The main thing is not to overdo it, especially since against the light background of the dress, an overly rich tan and bright hair color look unnatural and add years.
It is also good to complete a course of masks in a couple of weeks in accordance with your skin type and its existing characteristics (nourishing, moisturizing, tightening).
Face-building also gives a good effect - these exercises take 15-20 minutes a day, but show excellent results: wrinkles and facial creases disappear, especially nasolabial ones, the contour is stretched, the skin becomes radiant and elastic.
If the bride plans to do her own makeup, then it is necessary to rehearse her makeup in advance - this will allow her to spend less time on it on her wedding day and apply it more confidently.
The process begins with washing in the usual way (with water or cleansers) and applying a moisturizing day cream, which should be well absorbed.
After half an hour, wipe off the remaining residue with a napkin and begin preparing the skin:
- If your face is problematic, with pimples or uneven skin, then you need to apply a makeup base. It will make your skin smoother, achieve an even tone, and your cosmetics will last much longer. In some cases, a color-correcting base is chosen. Redness is well hidden by the green product, vascular blue stars or acne marks - pink. The main base is applied to the entire face and neck in a thin layer, and the tint base is applied only to the desired areas.
- The foundation must perfectly duplicate the skin color, otherwise in daylight and under the flash a mask effect will be created. It is also applied in a thin layer and shaded very carefully, especially in areas near the hair (forehead, temples, eyebrows). If it is necessary to more thoroughly tone the skin on any area of the face, then it is preferable to do this in several stages with an interval of 5–7 minutes, rather than applying a large amount of cream at a time.
- Powder is also chosen tone-on-tone if you want to create the effect of smooth skin. When sculpting your face, you will need dark and light shades of cream and powder and concealer, but this is a rather difficult task, the competent execution of which requires practical skills. Powder will not only give your skin a healthier and more beautiful appearance, but will also make your makeup more durable. It is preferable to choose a loose version, and if it is still compact, then it is better to apply such powder not with a sponge, but with a brush, so the layer will turn out to be almost weightless and will lie more evenly. Powder with small reflective particles gives the skin radiance and better hides unevenness.
- The area under the eyes requires special attention if there is thin skin through which blood vessels are visible or if the bride is sleeping poorly due to nervous experiences. In this case, a corrector or pink concealer is applied to the lower eyelid and carefully, but gently, driven into the skin with the pad of the ring finger. Before this, you can wipe this area with an ice cube and apply eye cream or heparin ointment, this will relieve swelling and swelling.
All stages are performed slowly, step by step.
There should be enough time to apply makeup and prepare the skin. The foundation and base need some time to accept the temperature of the skin and merge with it as much as possible, absorb, then the powder will lie evenly and give the face exactly that beautiful and delicate look for which all this is done. In summer, it is important not to “overload” your face with cosmetics, as the heat makes it start to “swim.”
This effect can be reduced by choosing products from famous manufacturers who value their image and are strict about product quality.
Mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, lipstick
Now you can start applying decorative cosmetics. The color palette of makeup products should be in harmony with the bride’s color type, and it depends on what her hair and skin tone is.
There are four of them in total: warm - autumn and spring and cold - winter, summer. Among brown eyes, winter and autumn are most common. For wedding makeup, it is advisable to choose waterproof cosmetics - this will protect the bride from unpleasant surprises from the weather, and from touching moments when tears begin to flow.
The winter type is distinguished by light skin with a slight shade of blue, or a dark tone, hair - burning brunette (black, dark chestnut, dark chocolate). Autumn women have ivory skin with a warm honey or bronze tint and red-tinged hair. They rarely have serious defects on their faces, but freckles are common.
The next step is to decide on the style and technique of makeup: will it be expressive and bright or delicate and light.
Here the choice depends on many factors:
- The theme of the wedding and its image as a whole, for example, a wedding in the Arabic style involves intensive application of cosmetics, while the “Boho” or “Provence” style requires moderate or even minimal application.
- The appearance of the bride herself. Bright lipsticks and eye shadows are simply not suitable for some face types, while others look dull without proper “design”.
- Her character and habit of wearing makeup. An active, assertive girl who uses makeup every day will be comfortable in a bright look, but a modest, quiet girl may be just as uncomfortable in a too revealing outfit. It is important that the bride not only looks beautiful, but also feels harmonious.
In the world of professional makeup, it is customary to focus on only one area of the face - the eyes or lips.. Brown eyes themselves are bright and expressive, so it is not necessary to dye them intensely. It is quite enough to emphasize the size and cut (adjust if necessary) with black or brown eyeliner and paint on the eyelashes. Before dyeing the eyelashes, shadows are applied and the eyelid is covered with them, even if the key point is the lips, but in this case their color can be delicate, and the structure is not too dense and rich in pigment.
The colors that suit a light brown iris are ivory, champagne, beige, lilac, olive, pink, peach, and chocolate.
For burning brown eyes, purple, yellow, gray, marsh, white, and cream are considered the most successful. Choosing shadows of the same color and shade as your eyes is not the best option; not only will they not emphasize their beauty, but on the contrary, they will blur the focus.
Before applying mascara, the eyelashes can be curled with special curling irons - this technique will make the eyes larger and the look more open. Any bromatic adds visual length to eyelashes due to the fact that the dark pigment covers the hairs to the very tips, which are always a little lighter.
Volume is achieved by carefully painting in several layers at intervals of 5–10 minutes. If you do not maintain such a pause and do not allow the composition to dry, then the eyelashes will begin to stick together, forming those very hated “spider legs”. When applying the brush, move it not only from root to edge, but also from side to side - as if a person’s hands were shaking slightly.
Sometimes when applying mascara, some of it ends up on the already painted upper eyelid. Fixing such a defect is quite simple. You need to wait until the mascara dries, take a soft fluffy eyeshadow brush and simply “sweep away” the spots with it. Lips are painted last. For a wedding, the best choice is either long-lasting lipstick, which you can safely kiss, drink, eat with, but it dries out your lips quite a lot, or a neutral gloss. Bright colors are applied strictly under the contour, which not only makes the mouth drawing clear and expressive, but also prevents the lipstick from spreading.
For brown-eyed people, lipsticks in pink, red, lilac, brown, wine, plum, and pastel shades are suitable.
How to do makeup for brown-eyed brunettes and blondes - tips
A woman with brown eyes and dark hair is already endowed with a bright appearance; all that remains is to emphasize what she considers her most beautiful features.
The most advantageous will be warm shades of eye shadow, black mascara and black pencil or eyeliner. Brown eyelashes will simply get lost against the background of the eyes. You definitely need to pay attention to the eyebrows: if they are sparse, they are tinted.
It’s better to do this not with a pencil, but with shadows, so the result will be more natural. The Arabic version of makeup, the “smoky eye” technique, also suits them. The combination of dark eyes and blond curls is rare. Therefore, it is important not to overdo it with paints and keep your face fresh. You need to choose shadows from a palette of light, light colors. This will make your eyes expressive and shining.
Too dark and wide eyebrows with this type give an expression of gloominess. Their color should match the shade of the hair roots or be slightly darker.
Eyeliner and mascara can be either black or brown; the upper eyelid is drawn with a clear line that forms the shape of the eyes, or if a pencil is used, shaded - it makes the look mysterious and deep.
Also don't forget about blush. For brunettes - brown, terracotta, apricot. Blondes are better off refreshing their faces with pink or peach ones. The easiest way to figure out where to apply blush is when smiling.
You need to place the brush on the formed mounds and draw a comma with its tail, going to the corners of the mouth. Another option is to draw a line from the highest edge of the ear to the corner of the lips and blend.

The proposed makeup can be used as a base or as a final version. Its main advantage is that it is simple to perform, does not require a wide arsenal of cosmetics and, despite its neutrality, looks very festive and professional.
- Beige or ivory shadows are applied to the prepared eyelid (with base and powder). They are placed on the entire moving upper eyelid and carefully shaded so that there are no sharp boundaries. It is not necessary to do this with a brush - your finger works much more gently and carefully.
- On the inner corner up to the middle of the eyelid, a glitter shadow of the same tone is applied from above.
- The lower eyelid is emphasized with a soft brown pencil. The line is extended to the corner of the eye or 2/3 of the length of the eye. The contour should lie along the eyelash growth line, painting the space between them, and go down slightly. If necessary, the pencil is shaded.
- Near the outer corner of the eye, the line with a pencil is extended upward and obliquely to the temple, and then, using hatching movements, it is drawn to the fold of the upper eyelid and its corner. The top line is faded.
- Chocolate shadows emphasize the border of the fold, and with a bronze shade you need to go along the top of the shadows and reduce this line to nothing closer to the inner rumble.
- Use matte black eyeshadow or a pencil to deepen the outer upper crease of the eyelid.
- Light shadows with small sparkles are applied to the brow area and the inner corner. This will open the eye and make it larger.
- The arrows of the required shape are drawn with black eyeliner, and golden mica or shadows with a large number of shiny particles are placed in the center of the eyelid. This technique “ignites” the look.
- All that remains is to paint the eyelashes on top and bottom; if desired, you can use false eyelashes.
- The mucous membrane of the eyelid above the lower eyelashes can be painted over with a black pencil (this will make the eye more defined, but will make it smaller) or white (it will enlarge and give clarity).
