- Hi, I'm Jeffrey Paul, celebrity makeup artist, and today I'm going to show you what eye shadows look good with brown eyes. When choosing eye shadows for brown eyes, you have a lot of options. Brown has a lot of color in them so you can choose shadows that either look neutral, dramatic or somewhere in between. Browns, golds, ivories and even shimmering golds will look more natural on a brown eye especially if the brown eye has gold in it. If there's more of a red tone in the brown eye, then these colors will actually make it look warm, richer, darker. If you're choosing blue eye shadow, I know, don't be afraid blue eye shadow is actually great. Blue will actually make the whites of the eyes whiter and the brown richer, more dramatic. If you're afraid of the blue but you want to try it, then you could actually do a liner in like a deeper, richer, royal blue. But if you want to be adventurous, go for a light sweep of blue eye shadow. It might have a 50s retro feel but yet it will actually look good and make your eyes seem bolder and brighter. Today I'm using Maybelline Eye Studio Color Plush. The color is taupe temptress. The first color I'm going to start with is the rose. This will create a soft natural look. This is going to go all over the middle to the outer lid. Start by applying with the flat brush. You can actually place the product right on the whole lid itself and smooth and soften over the lid. One eye shadow is great for a simple look to frame the brown eye, to bring up the warmth and to create a soft polish. I usually start in the center of the eye because I want the concentration of color to be there as it blends to the outer and inner corner. Sometimes I take my brush and turn it over just to make sure I have the product spread evenly from corner to corner, bottom to top. This can be your base and also a simple eye look. The rose color on Tracy's skin makes it look warm, rich, actually brings out a golden tone. The second color I'm going to use is a taupe. Its' soft, has a nice shimmer. It's going to frame the eye. I'm going to use this in the crease and framing the eye. When you close your eye, have a soft, small tipped brush in the outer corner, dragging towards the eyelashes and then follow the crease as it goes around from the outer corner to the inner corner. Lightly drag your brush back and forth to make sure the product is distributed evenly giving the emphasis on the outer corner. To add dimension, I'm going to select the lightest color. This is going to be used as a highlighter. I'm going to go right at the arch with a soft tipped angled brush and you can see what this is doing is creating a light and definition to the eyebrow. With a lighter color next to the brow not only does it frame what you've done with eye shadow, but you can see that it really makes the eye pop, makes it more dramatic. To really frame the eye, make them more sultry, more rich looking, I'm going to take the deepest color. This is a maroon, more like her shirt. You don't necessarily have to match your shirt but just today it just happens to be that way. Start at the outside corner of the eye, place it and slightly go beyond and into the corner. This is going to create a nice sculpted dimension, definition and extend the eye. There you can see I've framed the eye, starting at the outside edge, moving towards the inner corner. So if eye shadow falls, which it often -does, what you want to do is take a Q-Tip that has just a little bit of foundation on it, touch it to the skin, wipe and twirl as you go. It will actually remove the excess shadow and replace the foundation that you're wiping off. Then, pat it down with your finger or sponge or foundation brush to smooth it out. When working with any color, you have to make sure it's well blended. I like to take a brush, smooth over all my edges, just to make sure one line blends into the other. And that's a beautiful look that compliments brown eyes. I'm Jeffrey Paul. Thank you for watching.
