Hi. My name is Taylor Babian. I'm a celebrity makeup artist, and today I'm going to show you makeup that enhances dark brown eyes. So one of my favorite looks for dark brown eyes is basically to take the richness from those dark eyes, and translate them to the mouth. That way, pulling them together, it gives this great luscious look. So to mirror the richness in her eyes, I'm going to use a beautiful merlot lip, using L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche lip color. So I've taken some of the lip color and applied it to my hand. Of course you can put it directly to your lip, and you can see with her eyes, it creates this great combination. So, with dark colors, I always like to create perfection. The skin needs to look clean, the lips need to look even, and pretty perfect - otherwise it looks a little odd. So, to get that perfect mouth, we're going to create a small V at the top of the mouth. You always want to start off light. You can always add in the end, once you get your shape correct, and then a little line at the bottom. And basically, we're going to connect those points together. So you can work right off of your lipstick, too, but I actually do like to work with a brush, because you just get a little bit more precision out of it. And choose lip brushes based on your lips. So if you have a fuller lips, you can go for a fuller brush. Megan has nice full lips, so I'm going to go with a fairly full brush, but if you have smaller lips go for something a little smaller, so that you do get that precision out of it. This is just a great way to apply lipstick. It's almost like connect the dots. So we're basically going to connect that imaginary line right here. This works really well, especially if maybe your lips aren't as full - at the end, it kind of sweeps down. You can actually give that illusion of that fuller upper lip by just connecting that peak with the outer corner. Again, apply, lighter application, fill in to create a richer mouth. Don't worry if you make mistakes. You can always clean it up with a little bit of concealer. So as you can see, we finished our beautiful merlot lip color on Megan, and we've paired it with a chocolate brown liner. And I chose a clean chocolate brown liner because it really does pull the darkness from her eyes, finishing that rich look. Also, we've perfected and finished the eyebrow, but not made it so dark that the focus is not the mouth. Again, we want the focus to be the mouth, so the rest of it should be really clean. The eye should be soft, finished to create that beautiful rich look. So there you go! A few makeup to enhance dark brown eyes. I'm Taylor Babian. Thanks for watching.
