Today I fancied changing up my makeup look and opted for a brown smokey cat-eye. I think that brown makes a nice alternative to black and can still add drama and a sultry quality to a look.
This look was easy to achieve with three products, and would be suitable for an everyday look or an evening out. To achieve this look I used two brown eyeshadows from an Esteé Lauder palette - one a medium brown which went all over the lid, and the other a dark chocolate brown which I blended into the crease. I then used a warm brown gel eyeliner from Collection (reviewed here) in a small flick along my top lash-line. I then blended some of the brown eyeliner along my lower lash-line and smudged it in with a pencil brush. To finish the look I used Esteé Lauder Sumptuous Volume mascara (reviewed here). To add extra drama you could add false lashes, but as I was wearing this during the day I chose to skip this step.
Do you prefer black or brown eyeliners?
