How To: Make Brown Eyes Pop! | Navy Smokey Eye

[@yensid4294]

As someone who went to art school & took several classes on color theory & applied color theory in painting (pigments as opposed to light frequency)What most people call colors- yellow, orange, red, blue, purple, green are actually hues. Hues are what you see in the rainbow essentially. You're totally on the right track with the color wheel. "Brown" or everything we tend to consider brown whether light like tan, or deep like chocolate, is just a deeper, duller version of orange, yellow, red, red-orange or yellow-orange. So you are correct, if you're working with complementary eye shadow colors to most brown eyes you would use blues, purples, or even greens. Some people have such dark eyes it might be hard to see if their undertone was more yellow or orange or red. Those are the people that really look good in Navy Blue :)

It looks so gorgeous and simple. I will have to try and recreate this look soon.

[@EimearMcElheron]

thanks so much :) let me know how you get on! x

[@andreacastellanos3491]

Did it two times, the first one was a disaster! I didn't have time and didn't blend enough. The second one was pretty good in my opinion 😊

[@mirandabagraj8100]

you make this look soo easy. thank you!

[@silkyama1365]

Gorgeous look as always! What colour is on your nails please?? I have been looking for a shade like this forever!! 🙏🏼🙂

[@EimearMcElheron]

Thanks so much! They are actually press on nails by a brand called Impress :) I've a giveaway coming up on my channel soon and the nails feature in it! X

[@makeuplov505]

I love the way you used the color wheel to explain why you choose to do the look you did. GREAT way to teach!!!!!

[@vam9785]

Your tutorials are always so precise! And you look really beautiful, you would fit in Twilight with all other gorgeous vampires :)

[@EimearMcElheron]

Thank you so much! Hahaha you're actually the second person to say that to me, gas! I wish though haha the Twilight series is such a guilty pleasure of mine haha x

[@Lt_Marlboro]

Anytime I do eye-shadow I always screw up because I laugh, those brushes tickle so bad. Awesome video by the way it helps a lot.

[@tyradeck4746]

u have brown eyes in thumbnail but blue eye in reality.

[@EimearMcElheron]

Yeah my eyes are naturally blue and unfortunately I can't wear contacts so I had to edit the eye colour to show off the look :) x

[@jmariez1961]

If you can't wear contacts, how did you edit the eye color? By editing the video?

[@EimearMcElheron]

The brown eyes segments are pictures not video so I edited the pictures :) x

[@jmariez1961]

Very clever. I love not only your makeup videos, but your travel vlogs! I'm from the US and have always wanted to visit Ireland.

[@madmartagan100]

[@GinsengHoney_]

Martha Wilder yeah that's why I don't because then i'll feel like I'll look weird without them. Lol

[@vashtiramsaroop5410]

Absolutely STUNNING!!! I've been on the hunt for a deep, dark, rich navy eyeliner - so dark you wonder "Is that black, or super dark blue?" The dark navy smoky eye is beautiful! You did a great job breaking down the step-by-step process to achieve the look. Does anyone has any dark blue or blue-black eyeliner recommendations? I'd so appreciate any guidance you may have. Ahead of time thank you. :-)

[@balarina81]

U r very good and very calm! I love watching your videos!!!

[@j.elle912]

I love the way you do your videos & tutorials. You don't go too fast, you show the product with the name in graphic and no annoying music as a distraction. Plus the way you explain it really helps. It seems you're a natural at both the teaching & video production. ;) Hands down the best tutorial videos I've found on youtube.

[@Southamericangirl42]

That's why purples (with more blue than red) make my brown eyes pop! Love me some purple!

[@mzphillips53]

My eyes are a very dark blue shade. I'm 63 y/o and when I was just starting out wearing makeup in the sixties blue was a very popular shade of eyeshadow. Then we were told to never wear blue only Brown because it's 'natural.' Well I still love blue shadow especially a slate or navy color. My problem is I feel like I'm showing my age by wearing blue. Question is I guess, does it matter?

[@Cartisia]

wow intense

[@dhanishakumar8859]

you so Beautiful & your eys also beautiful and makeup 😍😍😳

[@eylemsoyugenc4871]

Any advice on whether hooded eyes people could apply this? Or any other method to use to make my hooded but brown eyes stand out more?? Thanks

[@sharnahorn8642]

i have brown hooded eyes bc I'm half asian so i have small eyes all smokey eyes will work it also helps if u tight line with a black gel or pencil/crayon in the water lines and then do a cat eye using black gel or liquid.

[@EimearMcElheron]

Of course! If you wanted, you could use the same colours but do a cut crease instead? Generally I find a cut crease makeup look is a great look to do for anyone with hooded eyes :) I would start my transition colour where the eye hoods and work from there. Basically when you're looking straight ahead into a mirror the fleshy piece of skin that kind of droops over the lid, apply the shadow to that area and blend upwards. Depending on how hooded the eyes are anything below that point most likely won't be seen. I've a beginner friendly video on how to create a cut crease makeup look and i've actually used blue shadows in that video as well. If you haven't seen it, you can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXfalHV-d5aShrM Hope that helps! X

[@sharnahorn8642]

Eimear McElheron I was so inspired by your look I created my own version /tweaked version blue smokey eye with different colors I used some browns from my tartlette for transition and smoked it out with the blue from ud moondust palletes used some sparkly nude /beige glitter pencil for my lower water line and used black gel pencil to tightline upper lid and did a black wing. Got so many compliments . thanks for the inspiration.

[@eylemsoyugenc4871]

Thanks alot

[@sharnahorn8642]

Eylem Soyugenc you should try this I did my own version except different palletes and made mine sparkly blue comes out pretty and I'm hooded lids too.

[@MaidaA22589]

This is amazing! Thanks for doing one for brown eyes ^w^

[@Who-Dunnit]

After seeing so many 'makeup for brown eyes' tutorials, I've reached the conclusion that either no makeup look makes them pop. Or all make up looks make them pop. Cuz every colour is out there as the 'best' and all the eyes look the same before and after. So basically, you can't go wrong, unlike with blue eyes where they can get washed out because of undertones. Just make sure your eyeshadow is blended.

[@jenshaw8085]

Wait WTF, you don't even have brown eyes. Deceiving much?!

[@suzyq4433]

That blue would look beter with brown eyes. Opposite color from the eyes look best.

[@sarahmorales610]

Just found your channel and now I'm going to binge watch all of your videos. I loved this look and I'm going to try it out for myself!

[@Lovesall_pugmixes]

[@bellametallica]

Looks beautiful but I am not a fan of the color blue.

[@axbrey8144]

she sounds like the girl who narrated the pug video

[@chersilveira8944]

LOOKS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I can't wait to try it! I have hooded eyes but I think if I buff and blend well enough about the crease it should look (HOPEFULLY!) as pretty as yours does! Thank you for showing to powder on the waterline after lining with the inner liner! SO many people don't saying it will stay as is, I am disappointed to find it gone or under my eyes! Now I know FOR SURE, to ALWAYS take a flat brush and pat some powder on top. It really looks beautiful!

[@veranya2074]

its a little bit late comment thank u😊😊

[@missrjr3695]

Love!!! I have a blue Indian outfit and have been looking for a make up look that packed a punch but wasn't overly dramatic not least because I don't have the greatest make up skills!

[@affecteffected2576]

I will definitely try this look for my eye shade. My eyes are goldish and im hoping the navy doesn't overpower my eye color but im wanting to try some new effects for upcoming events. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, when I was younger I used to always wear navy blue eyeliner, smudged out, soft looking on my eyes. Huh, I just liked the way it looked, turns out the colour suits my eyes too. Nice.

[@jing989]

If you mix the primary blue colour with brown, you get grey or black.

[@c.u.3940]

I was hoping for something step by step, like what you used on your bottom lash line besides the eyeliner and powder, instead of skipping over it as its a large part of what ties your eyeshadow look together. Leaving these essential details out of your videos can be frustrating for the people who want the whole process from your videos on how to do something like an eye makeup tutorial.

[@EimearMcElheron]

I'm sorry you feel that way but in my opinion each step is shown clearly. However just to clarify....For the lower lash line I repeated the same process as above. I began by applying the Stila 'Puppy' eyeshadow down along the lower lash line and I brought the eyeshadow right into the tear duct. Once I was happy with how that looked I picked up the navy eyeshadow (smashbox 'ink) and then blended this down along there too with the use of a pencil brush. I reapplied a couple of times to build up the intensity. Then I added a black eyeshadow (kiko black 180) and I added this to the outer third of the eye using an angled brush. I cleaned off the waterline with a cotton bud and then I applied a white liner (nyx jumbo pencil milk) to that area. I finally added some of the Rimmel stay matte powder on top of the pencil to set it in place :) x
