Smokey Eyes (Natural brown)

The brown smokey eye is in. It's a natural, earthy look, which makes it the perfect late summer alternative to basic black. It's also modern, flattering and surprisingly illuminating. Here are two brown smokey eye looks to try for yourself.

1. Begin by applying an eye shadow primer onto clean lids to ensure that your makeup stays put.

2. Gently apply a cream-based eye shadow in a shimmery brown, copper or bronze shade from the lash-line up toward the brow bone. 

3. Complete the look with two to three coats of waterproof mascara.
