Requirements for eyeliners
The main requirement for cosmetics is high resistance to moisture. This quality allows you to avoid imprinting the applied line on the eyelid while blinking. In rainy weather, unstable types of eyeliners will lead to pronounced defects in the applied makeup.
The main difficulty in drawing a clear line is typical for liquid options. In this case, before drawing the contour, you should thoroughly shake the bottle and place your elbow on a stable surface. This will avoid drawing an uneven line. It is also necessary to devote enough time to the procedure to perfectly line your eyes.
Colored budget eyeliners: when you want a little pampering
In everyday life, I am a huge fan of nude, calm eye makeup, I wear something bright quite rarely, so I have no desire to spend a lot of money on pampering - and here, to dilute the gray colors of life, colored budget eyeliners come to my aid :)
SODA #guyliner Eyeliner.
Unfortunately, everything I tried from the sensational brand Soda
the word didn't impress me at all.
But this
red
#guyliner 012
was a pleasant surprise.
In general, red eyeliners, contrary to the common sense of a nude lover, are not something pretentious for me, so I can wear them on a regular basis. There is only one problem - it’s hard to find a bright scarlet color; most eyeliners are presented in a deeper color, closer to burgundy. Matte lipsticks, which everyone recommends using as a means for drawing arrows, generally behave terribly on my oily eyelids, so this option is not for me. But this liner is exactly the color I was looking for!
If you don't shake the bottle, the eyeliner looks like this:
And if you shake it, you get a red color interspersed with fine pink shimmer:
In fact, I prefer the first option, despite the bald, watery swatch, it applies to my eyes like this in just one layer:
According to its characteristics, the eyeliner has more than enough: good durability - but oily eyelids must be set with powder, it does not crack, and applies a beautiful dense color. The downside is the hard felt applicator - I don’t use it, it’s more convenient for me to pour a small amount of product onto the palette and draw arrows with an angled brush. (But in the photo the arrow is drawn using the original applicator)

Catrice Liquid Liner Glitter Storm.
Sorry for the sloppy appearance of the eyeliner - I tried in vain to wash it off stickers and all other glue crap :(
This eyeliner captivated me with its beauty of iridescent emerald turquoise in the packaging - shade C03 Midnight Blues.
In fact, the eyeliner turned out to be less festive and had its drawbacks.

Eyeliner is a scattering of greenish-turquoise glitter on a dark base.

The texture of the product seems to be watery, and the big problem with the liner is baldness. The situation is aggravated by the hard felt tip, which removes the previous layer of eyeliner, forming new bald spots in the arrows.
By the way, be very careful and do not allow even the slightest trembling of the eyelid when applying - this eyeliner requires a couple of minutes of time to dry, and if you don’t give it this time, you yourself understand that the makeup will have to be corrected. The same eyeliner from Soda dries many times faster.
There is only one way out of the situation: wait for the first layer to dry completely and layer the product more - this way you get more or less decent arrows.
There are no complaints about durability, but this baldness... This eyeliner is saved by its beautiful color, but it’s not worth this dance with a tambourine. Although, for its price, you can probably play around - but it’s up to everyone to decide for themselves whether they need it.

Essence Metal Art Lip&Eye Liner.
I have this liner in two colors at once - copper-gold 03 Coppy Right
and pink-red
04 Pink Glam

03 Coppy Right
These eyeliners have a thin brush, which is much more convenient than their felt counterparts, but still requires some skill, especially for drawing out the tail of the arrow. Again, it’s a million times more convenient for me to use an angled brush.
The product has a rather interesting texture, like a mousse, quite viscous, and the arrows dry out quite quickly and do not leave marks.
These eyeliners are of excellent quality - they apply wonderfully, do not cause baldness, and stay on the eyelid all day. One of the subjective disadvantages is that on the eyes, it seems to me, the golden shade creates a slight feeling of a “chewed” eyelid - the skin seems to wrinkle a little under this eyeliner.
Well, a little creativity))
I really like drawing a gradient arrow with these eyeliners:

Who and what color type of appearance suits brown color on the eyelids?
Brown eyeliner is ideal for creating a soft, calm makeup. Unlike black, this shade is recommended for girls with blond hair. For chestnut or dark blond hair, you can use the darkest shades of brown eyeliner.
If the makeup is intended for an evening out or a special event, you can take pencils and liquid liners interspersed with sparkles and mother-of-pearl. In light shades their presence will become especially impressive.
There are several color types, depending on which you can determine the appropriate shades of eyeliner:
Color type | Signs and recommendations |
Spring | Light hair and skin, prefer light beige and peach colors |
Winter | Light skin combined with dark hair, eyeliner should be rich and cold |
Summer | Ash shades of hair with dim eyes and fair skin, golden shades are recommended |
Autumn | Hair from light honey to titanium colors, eyeliner can be any |
Selecting a shade of brown is also complicated by the fact that it itself is a mixture of red and green, which is also combined with yellow and blue. Ultimately, brown contains all the basic pigments, red, yellow and blue. Therefore, in some cases it is necessary to take into account the appearance features directly.
Using mascara
There is no consensus on the use of black mascara for brown-eyed ladies. First of all, you need to pay attention to the combination of eye color and hair shade.
Girls who have light brown or straw-colored hair can pay attention to brown mascara. Then the makeup will look natural, organic. Black mascara is more suitable for dark-haired girls.
In addition to adding color, mascara has additional properties: it lengthens eyelashes and also gives the missing volume.
Brown-eyed girls, as a rule, have thick eyebrows and eyelashes, so you shouldn’t be overzealous when applying eye shadow or mascara. It is better to comb your eyebrows and then style them with gel, if necessary.
Brown eyes are bright enough without makeup, so you need to be careful when choosing eyeshadow shades. It is better to prefer too bright colors for a special occasion, and for daily use use pastel colors, eyeliner, pencil or mascara.
The most popular shades of eyeshadow for brown hair include gold, beige, green, purple, white, and bronze.
Types of eyeliners and types of shades
Brown eyeliner can be represented by the following types:
- in the form of a felt-tip pen - thanks to a special applicator, you can easily adjust the thickness of the arrow;
- in the form of shadows - such eyeliners allow you to carefully design the transition from the eye contour to the eyebrow;
- liquid - have brushes of various sizes and differ in consistency;
- pencils - for lining the eyes they should be sharpened;
- gel-like, which is good for creating wide arrows.
The fastest and most convenient way to finish your makeup with a clear line is to use a pencil. In this case, an important condition is a soft stylus. A hard one will not work because it will be difficult to draw a neat arrow with it.
In the process of applying the line, it greatly stretches the skin on the eyelids and contributes to its premature aging. It is also not recommended to draw lines on already applied shadows. This should be done after lining the eyes, and then further emphasize the arrow.
When using pencils for easier design of the arrow, it is allowed to apply the line immediately after the foundation or care cream. The sharper the lead, the smoother and more accurate the eyeliner will be.
For an ideal result, you should strive to draw a line directly along the eyelash growth line, gradually working out all the areas between them. You should not touch the inner part of the eyelid, since the line will subsequently appear on the lower eyelid. After this, the eyes may acquire a red tint, and their size will visually decrease.
Traditionally, shades are divided into 3 types:
- neutral;
- cold;
- warm.
Choosing a pencil and eyeliner for brown eyes
For a strong and bright accent of brown eyes, liquid eyeliner and a pencil are indispensable attributes.
It is advisable to apply eyeliner with a thin arrow closer to the place where eyelashes grow.
To make the line smoother, movements when applying eyeliner should be relaxed and light. For an evening out, make the eyeliner line a little brighter and thicker to highlight the natural appeal of a dark look.
The classic option is to use pencils or black liquid eyeliner; brown-eyed women are lucky. All of them can easily buy eyeliners for makeup, as well as cosmetic pencils of any tones. Pale purple colors go well with shades of pinkish tones, and lilac palettes harmonize with chocolate ones.

Choosing eye shadow for brown eyes.
The choice of eyeshadow color is determined by the goals of makeup for brown eyes, time and place, as well as your courage. There is an unspoken rule: a light shade of eyeshadow is natural makeup, a dark shade is dramatic and bright makeup. It should be understood that dark shades are more appropriate as “ceremonial” makeup for certain situations.
Opinion of professional makeup artists:
“Shadows of rich colors go well with brown eyes: blue, brown, gray-blue, plum, golden, vanilla, lilac, purple, nutmeg. An unusual effect can be achieved by using several shades of the same color or completely different colors simultaneously in one makeup.”
For natural makeup, you can use peach, brown, taupe, light pink, champagne-colored shadows.
Combining gray shadows with gray eyeliner can create a charming smoky effect.
You can add brightness and shine to your look by choosing metallic shades, which look especially attractive in bronze, gold, chocolate and pink.
Brown-eyed girls can choose almost any shade of eyeshadow, which allows them to interestingly combine eye makeup with the chosen color scheme of clothing.
When choosing eye shadow for brown eyes, the only thing you should consider is your natural skin tone.
Shades of eyeshadow that should be used very carefully: pink, which often creates the effect of “sad eyes”, as if they were crying bitterly and for a long time about something, and yellow, by emphasizing the skin tone, can give the look a somewhat painful look.
Recommendations for correct application
Brown eyeliner is one of the cosmetics that it is advisable to apply to the base layer of foundation. If the skin does not require the use of corrective products, a simple dusting will be enough to dry it.
Brown eyeliner technique
Application principles:
- makeup should be done before eyeliner;
- drawing should begin from the middle part of the eyelid;
- Do not press too hard on the brush;
- closer to the end of the line it can be slightly raised up;
- then you will need to carefully draw the lines inside.
The thickness is adjusted depending on the desired effect and the severity of the applied line. For some defects, you can correct it with a thick concealer. To soften the line, it is recommended to complement the makeup with translucent shadows of a suitable shade.
It is also necessary to carefully and gradually fill the space between the eyelashes, especially with a wide line of their growth.
Otherwise, the arrow will not look very appropriate. Additionally, to enhance the effect, it is recommended to lightly work the roots of the eyelashes with a brush with mascara, densely distributing it in contact with the skin and mucous membrane of the eyelid. This technique will significantly enhance the result obtained.
If you want to create smoky makeup in combination with a clear line along the contour, the main principle should be careful blending of dry or wet shadows. Classic haze - black and gray colors. At the modern level, it is allowed to use any other shades that are in harmony with the color type, clothing and appropriateness in a particular case.
Brown eyeliner can also be used in combination with beige shadows, matte or shiny. In this case, the type of eyeliner must match their characteristics. You can apply shadows not only to the upper eyelid, but also to the lower eyelid in a thin strip, trying to make the line of transition from color to skin as smooth as possible.
When doing smokey eye makeup, you should always remember that bright eyes require an ideal background in the form of clean and smooth facial skin. If there are any defects, dark circles under the eyes and imperfections, you must carefully hide them with tonal products of appropriate density.
Brown eyeliner in such cases will be a good addition to highlight the eyes and distract the attention of others from other flaws in appearance.
Additionally, you need to work on your eyebrows, emphasizing their line with a hard pencil of a suitable shade. You should choose it depending on your hair color. If you follow these recommendations, the result will be bright and harmonious.
What colors does eyeliner come in?
