Brown Makeup

Do you dream of a warm, soft makeup look that works for every season? Let these hand-selected shades inspire you! This rich coffee color for the eyelids and a touch of hazelnut for the lips! Create a makeup look that lets creamy brown tones shine through. Here's how:

STEP 01

The first step in this easy and sophisticated brown makeup look is to prep your skin. Prepare your face for makeup application using your favorite KIKO MILANO moisturizing cream and then, once it has been absorbed evenly, apply 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, set you flawless canvas with setting powder.

STEP 02

Now it's time to enhance the features and create definition on the face. Just one palette is enough to warm up the complexion with blush (apply to the apples of the cheeks and blend upward), then optically sculpt the face with bronzer (apply it with gentle outward movements starting at the hollows of the cheeks) and give the skin an elegant glow with highlighter (apply to 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 shade (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 lash line 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-colored lipstick completes the look. Apply it with your fingertips for a less defined, softer effect.
