[_gaelle_]

Hi everyone,

I hope being in the right place to ask my question.. I apologize but I started on the site and I do not speak English well. (i'm French

)

My question is : "What color of MAC (only) eyeshadows, i can use to make a brown/chocolate smoky ?"

In the town where I live there is no MAC store​

thanks
Gaëlle

Satin Taupe maybe? a lil Espresso in the crease?

Salut Gaelle, I second Satin Taupe (

it).

Satin Taupe and Espresso work well together, as do Wedge and Twinks eyeshadows.

woodwinked is a great browny shade and you could smoke it out with carbon or espresso.

i also like cork - it's a nice midtone matte brown colour

Satin Taupe is amazing! I really recommend this color.

 

[FiestyFemme]

Satin Taupe would be great for a cooler brown eye; for a warmer brown eye, I'd recommend Mulch or Bronze.

i love smudging black eye liner up into the lid and then using satin taupe (like everyone else apparently) on the lid and brown down in the crease. really dramatic, but warm brown smokey eye

yeah i'd do a highlighter on the inner eye, woodwinked on the rest of the lid and tempting into the outer-v and crease. deepen the outer-V with black tied

Brown Down, Espresso, and Handwritten are great deep matte brown colors. They're warm and chocolatey!

Great shimmery shades for a smoky look are Satin Taupe (thought that has alot of cooler tones in it), Buckwheat, Glamour Check!, Style Snob, and Twinks. You should write some names down and check them at the counter and see what works best for you.

My new favorite is smoke and diamonds on the lid, glamour check! in the crease. Highlight browbone with vanilla or blanc type. Intensify with a tiny bit of carbon in the outer v if you like.

thanks a lot everyone

I highly recommend using Gentle Lentil Shadestick as a base for a great smokey brown eye and layering with some of the e/s already mentioned.

I don't do brown smokey often but here's my favourite one. I use MAC and Stila but really any brand will do

1. Apply a creamy brown base on lid up to crease (I use Stila Bronze Smudge Pot).
2. Apply a champagne colour highlighter to browbone and tearduct (I use Your Ladyship)
3. I blend the upper crease to the highlight with a light brown shade (I use Cork)
4. Apply medium brown/bronze shade to entire lid and crease (I use Bronze) and blend with the light brown
5. line eyes and smudge up to below the crease. Set with black eyeshadow

HTH

My faves: Swiss Chocolate, Embark, Cork. Tete-a-Tint to blend, Grain to highlight.
