Best Makeup Colors For Brown Hair

When selecting your makeup, consider your skin tone, eye color and of course, your hair color. To look your best, follow these makeup tips for brunettes.

Brunette women are among the most versatile when it comes to makeup colors because most shades complement their lovely dark locks.

Brunettes, Use rich lip color

Most of the time, pale pink lipstick and blush don't flatter brunettes. Women with dark brown hair should play with richer colors of makeup instead. Tawny or spicy red lip color look great on women with medium to dark brown hair. Coral or peach lip and cheek shades are terrific complements to light brown hair.

Eye makeup and blush colors

Put the emphasis on your eyes with highly-pigmented shadow, smudged eyeliner and two coats of dark brown mascara. Brunettes with brown eyes can use almost any color of eye shadow. Green-eyed brunettes look awesome with purple shadow and charcoal eyeliner. Keep the rest of your face natural with barely-there cheek color and just a touch of lip gloss.

Consider your highlights

When selecting your cosmetics, consider not just your main hair color but also your highlights. Brunettes with true blonde highlights can wear makeup with pink undertones better than brown eyed girls with red highlights can.

Remember: If you have dark hair, stick to richer colors of makeup with the spicy reds, peaches and corals in your lipstick and the deep eyeshadow tones for your eyes.
