Shades of brown EOTD!

It's Monday and like every other Monday it's that dreaded day when many of us have to spring out of bed in order to get to work and see the kids off to school.  It's beautiful out today plus I had an early appointment so I decided to do a quick makeup look, specifically an eye look. 

This look can be easily achieved using your favorite shades of brown eye shadows and you'll also need an eggplant color to add depth to the crease area. 



I've used all mineral eye shadows, added some brown liner to create some drama.  And finished off with jet black mascara. 






Here's a breakdown on how I achieved this look:

  • Firstly applied lighter shade of brown on center of lids, darker shade on outer part and into my crease area
  • Then I added a champagne color on the inner corners of lids
  • And used the above mentioned eggplant color to intensify the crease - mostly the outer crease area
  • For highlight I used a matte cream colored shadow
  • Then I carefully went over the shadows with a blending brush
  • On my lower lash line I applied a tad of the eggplant shade with cream colored eye liner on waterline 
  • Mascara is applied only on top lashes

I didn't want to overdo it with mascara since it was an early morning appointment so I tried to keep the look wearable for daytime.

I think the shades of brown with that added surprise of eggplant shade really complement my brown eyes.

I hope this gives you inspiration to create a similar look using your favorite shades of brown. Share/Save/Bookmark
