We’ve had great response and feedback so far to Part 1 and Part 2 of Katerina Psathas from Adore Beauty’s guest blog for The Belle Lumiere. It’s time to check out Part 3, which is dedicated to the brown eyed ladies out there!
Katerina’s Complete Eyeshadow Bible Pt 2
Brown Eyes: Bountiful Brown eyes can carry pretty much any colour, however you will find that your skin tone will play a role in which colours suit you best. From personal experience the following colours look exceptional on brown eyes
- Brown
- Purple
- Violet/Mauve
- Burgundy
- Champagne
- Navy Blue (darker/olive skintones)
- Electric Blue (darker/olive skintones)
- Green (darker/olive skintones)
Katerina’s choice for Brown Eyes:
Napoleon Perdis Divine Marchesa Eye Quad $49 Why? The colours are brilliant. You can achieve so many looks from this palette, and the black is easy to blend (always something I look for).
Laura Mercier Metallic Crème Eye Colour Alloy $44 Why? A Laura Mercier make-up artist introduced me to this product, and I must say I was impressed. Lightly applied with the fingertip, you get a fabulous wash of colour all over the eye. Great base colour, and gorgeous just on its own, won’t move when applied with Laura Mercier Eye Basics.
Laura Mercier Eye Mosaic $70 Why? Oh look at the colours! Need I say more? This a great palette for introducing someone to colour, as it still includes a brown and a bone staple colour if you wish to tone down the blues.These are super shimmery which makes for a super pretty eye.
(I also highly recommend the Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes Kit, a personal favourite!)
