Payal Bhattacharya

We can say with absolute confidence that you're probably wearing your black eyeliner right now. How do we know? Are we mind readers? Absolutely not. We just know that is every girl’s go-to eyeliner. Be it newbies, makeup experts or celebrities. But if you are tired of wearing the same old black eyeliner every day, it’s time you meet the new girl on the block: brown eyeliner. 

While the thought of moving away from your good, old black eyeliner may seem scary, trust us, it has a lot to offer. What’s more, it can act as an eyeshadow base or an eye pencil. Brown eyeliner contours the eyelids, making your eyes look thicker. Smudging it around your top and bottom lashes not only gives it a smoky look but also adds depth to your eyes. Be it Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz or Anne Hathaway, everyone has given the brown eyeliner a go. What are you waiting for? Here are 6 brown eyeliner makeup looks you can try right away!
 

Floating crease graphic eyeliner look

This is one of the easiest looks to create. A beautiful cat-eye look with an extra edge, you can use your favorite brown eyeliner to give this look a twist. Take your liquid eyeliner and apply it carefully to your crease. You have two ways you can go about this. You can either join the line to the inner and outer corner of your eyes or you can leave it floating. 

 

Chocolate liner look

This simple yet barely-there winged eyeliner look needs just one product: brown eyeliner. All you need to do is simply swipe the brown eyeliner on your lower and upper eyelids with extended edges. After that, use a smudge applicator to get a perfectly eyelined yet softly smudged look.

 

Sunset Look

One of the hottest trends to grace the makeup scene, this is one of the best brown eyeliner makeup looks you should try. Beauty bloggers and celebrities are using it to create amazing looks. But if you are thinking it’s not for you, you're wrong. All you need to do is follow these steps - take a mango-coloured eyeshadow and apply it to your eyelids; the next step is to apply a clean line using your brown eyeliner to complete the look.

 

Minimal Smokey Eye

Definitely those days when girls used to spend hours perfecting their makeup are gone. Now, it's all about minimalism. This minimal smoke eye requires half the products and your time. Take a dark brown eyeliner and apply it under your eye. Then use a smudge applicator of your choice to complete the look. 
 

Smudged Eyeliner

For all you newbies out there, this one's for you. The struggles of perfecting the winged look are real. We know! Here is a better alternative to that - the smudged underliner.
