Makeup for Brunettes: Videos and Tips for Making Amazing Makes

Dark skin, whether tan or naturally dark, can be combined with various types of makeup, making it possible to adapt any technique to the tones that match this type of skin.

To enhance your color, the ideal is to bet on a makeup with good skin preparation and lighting and contour suitable for your face shape. Capricating on the skin is essential, as brunettes tend to have more sun spots, which can be disguised with well-made makeup.

Already the illuminated ensures the healthy and tanned look of dark skin, while the outline can be used to enhance the features you like best and disguise the ones you dislike.


Another point that makes a difference in brunette skin makeup is the care you take with it. Using sunscreen is always the number 1 rule you should follow. So, in addition to preventing skin cancer, you also avoid sun spots.

Moisturizing the skin always and especially before makeup is also essential. Dark skin is naturally a bit drier and if you apply makeup without moisturizing it, the products may crack (have small cracks) and the result will not be as beautiful as expected.

Following these tips, the next step is to whip the skin and learn a few different ways to make eye and mouth combinations in your make.


Preparing the brunette skin

Depending on what you are doing in the eyes, the order of makeup changes. For example, if you are going to have a very dark, shady, or colored eye, it is best to do eye makeup first and then prepare the skin.

On the other hand, if you are going to do a more basic eye, with mascara only or with an outline and without shadow, you can do the skin preparation before applying eye makeup. Using this rule makes it easier to avoid those dark shadow spots on the skin after applying the product to the eye.

3 Night Makeup Options

To complete your make-up, try the following three makeup options, or pick your favorite one and train it hard until it looks just the way you want it.

1. Dark Smoky Eye

Combines with: nude lipstick, soft light pink, mauve and soft mouth color. Neutral tones are ideal to complement this makeup.

This option is ideal for days when you are going to wear a more colorful outfit or when you are uninspired to think of something different. It is a striking makeup, which looks beautiful in almost everyone and that, if done with care, looks wonderful. See the black eye walkthrough:

2. Eye with outlined kitten

Matches with: red, pink, nude, purple, wine, pink lipstick. Basically any lipstick color goes well with this make up.

The outlined is the perfect makeup for those who like to wear strong or dark lipstick, because it leaves the look neutral and delicate, which allows a more flashy mouth. To make the makeup super delicate, bet on a nude or creamy rosé lipstick. Check out the tutorial:

3. Color Eyeshadow Makeup

Combines with: a very soft pink or a nude. Ideally, lipstick does not draw much attention.

When you wear a more neutral outfit, such as an all-black look, or discreet color pieces, colored eyeshadow makeup becomes a good option. However, it is worth stressing that one should avoid combining the color of the clothes and the shadow, for example? Green eyeshadow and green blouse. The ideal is to use another color, but one that matches the color of the clothing. In the tutorial below you check out a green shaded option:

Light daily makeup for dark skin

For everyday makeup, the suggestion is to bet on the lightness of BB cream, mascara, eye and eyebrow pencil and a soft lipstick. If you prefer and can dare a little more, it is worth investing in a more striking eyeliner and / or lipstick.

In the video below, blogger and makeup artist Ba Ferrazzo teaches how to make a beautiful makeup for everyday use:
