All the beauty gals know it: brown eyeliner is the bomb! Most of us own the classic black eyeliner but a shade of brown is a must in your makeup kit for that basic, au naturel makeup. Why, you ask? Because while black eyeliner provides a stark definition, brown eyeliners deliver a softer look. In fact, black liner is said to make the blemishes or dark circles appear darker while brown eyeliner takes the focus off these skin crises and offers an overall natural glow.
If this isn’t reason enough to make brown eyeliners your BFF, here is a round-up of our favourite celebrities rocking the coveted makeup product that will make you reconsider. From bold wings to sultry smokey effects – here’s all the celeb inspo you need to add that brown eyeliner to your cart.
