Brown Makeup

Do you dream of a warm, soft make-up look suitable for every season? Let yourself be won over by a symphony of lovely rich shades, from an intense coffee colour for the eyelids to a touch of hazelnut for the lips! Create a make-up look that plays with a thousand shades of brown. Here's how:

STEP 01

The first step in this irresistibly easy and sophisticated brown make-up look is to take care of your skin. Prepare your face for make-up application using your favourite KIKO MILANO moisturising cream and then, once it has been absorbed evenly, start on your foundation. Opt for fluid, perhaps one that has a 2-in-1 formula and combines its properties with those of a concealer. Then, with a mattifying face powder even out the complexion and give it a velvety finish. Finally, fix with setting powder.

STEP 02

Now it's time to enhance the features and play with the volumes of the face. Just one palette is enough to warm up the complexion with blush (apply it to the top of the cheekbone), then optically sculpt the face with bronzer (apply it with gentle outward movements starting at the bottom of the cheekbones) and give the skin an elegant glow with highlighter (which goes on the cheekbones and tip of the nose).

STEP 03

Define and reshape your eyebrows with a brow pencil and then comb them upwards. Illuminate your gaze with eyeshadow, from cream shades to brown ones, from light (for creating the milk-effect base of this eye look) to dark (to intensify with energetic shades such as coffee). Use an eye palette with soft nude tones and after applying the lightest eyeshadow to the whole eyelid, switch to a taupe one (apply it to the outer corner of the eye, blending it towards the temples) and finally, apply a dark brown over the upper lash line. Apply the pencil on the lower rim of the eye to give depth and then blend the line out. Add a generous coat of volume-effect mascara as a final step.

STEP 04

A creamy hazelnut-coloured lipstick completes the look. Apply it with your fingertips for a less defined, softer effect.
