Best Makeup Ideas for Brunettes

Brianna, on October 18, 2019 at 8:51 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 9
I've been scavenging Pinterest for ideas but I'd love to hear other opinions and ideas.
I have light brown hair and hazel eyes with an olive complexion.
My color themes are burgundy, gold and creme. I planned on having the same colors in my bouquet.
I had some ideas for makeup such as doing burgundy eye shadow with a deep red lipstick, but I'm not sure if I want to do that or not. Overall, I'm between a rock and a hard place 🤷‍♀️

    Gahhhh, I am doing similar colors. My wedding is in February. When is yours? As of right now I'm doing a deep burgundy color lip. I have pulled some inspo pictures of makeup I like and have sent it to the makeup artist.

    My college roommate had her wedding last Feb and her makeup was very similar to your first picture!! Her wedding colors were burgundy and blush with gold accent. (Also I am here for the comments as I have no idea what to do for makeup either)

    Are you doing your own or do you have a makeup artist ?

    Brunette bride with grey eyes over here. I went smokey with a natural lip. Especially for a summer wedding, I wanted something fresh but still sexy. I also planned on kissing a lot so a bold lip was out for me. My husband HATES kissing me with lipstick on haha. I love the idea of doing a burgundy in the eye shadow. There are so many beautiful rusty burgundy browns that would look striking. Although, in general, I tend to stray on the cool side of tones because it balances the olive tone in my skin. This is what I did on my day:

    I’m also brunette with hazel eyes & olive skin toned. My wedding is in Nov. Bridesmaids will be in dusty pink and I’m wearing a blush gown. I want to do a smokey eye and I love burgundy so I’m thinking of doing that but I think I’ll keep my lip more natural because I don’t typically wear lipstick.
    I love the idea of doing a dark lip though!!

    Is this you on your wedding day?? You look gorgeous! ❤
    You're absolutely right, I didn't think about kissing with bold lipstick. My fiance hates kissing me with lipstick on too haha.
    After your advance I think I am going to stick with natural makeup. I have a similar skin tone to you and I think burgundy makeup will be a bit too much.
    Thanks for your help!
