Did you know that wearing the right makeup shades can actually make a black dress<\/a> look more expensive and polished?<\/p>\n Nude lipsticks are foolproof with brown dresses because they blend in seamlessly without being too bold or distracting.<\/p>\n Since brown is a neutral color, nude lips serve to balance out the look without calling too much attention away from the dress.<\/p>\n I recommend trying a rosy nude like Wet n Wild’s Megalast Lipstick in Bare It All. The subtle pinky tone looks gorgeous with brown and warms up your complexion.<\/p>\n Or, for a true nude, Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink in Pioneer is hard to mess up – it matches any skin tone beautifully.<\/p>\n Apply nude lipstick all over your lips then tap on a clear gloss in the center for dimension and shine. This accentuates your natural lip shape without overwhelming an already-simple outfit.<\/p>\n The balance of nude lips against a brown dress keeps the focus on your face and the dress.<\/p>\n Use nude eyeshadow shades to tie everything elegantly together. Specifically, opt for pale pinks, peaches and golden beiges across your lids. These nude tones blend seamlessly into your skintone without appearing stark.<\/p>\n A few versatile options to try are Physician’s Formula Eye Booster Eyeliner in Nude is a cream stick that glides on easily all over. Or for powder shadows, use Maybelline City Mini Palette in Light in the middle shades only. Blend well into the crease with a fluffy brush.<\/p>\n Keep other makeup minimal and let the nude eyes complement your radiant complexion. Brown and nudes work in concert for an effortlessly polished look every time.<\/p>\n Soft pink eyeshadow colors<\/a> are perfect for complementing a brown dress without being too bold.<\/p>\n The light pinks<\/a> and peaches will offset the richer brown hue beautifully.<\/p>\n A few versatile pink palettes to try are ColourPop’s It’s My Pleasure palette with light shimmery pinks and matte peach shades.<\/p>\n Neutrogena Nourishing Longwear Eyeshadow in Soft Rose has a mix of pale pinks that blend easily.<\/p>\n Apply light pink all over the lid and blend a deeper rose or mauve into the crease using a fluffy brush.<\/p>\n This adds subtle dimension and makes eyes appear brighter.<\/p>\n Don’t forget to blend well so there’s no harsh lines.<\/p>\n Smudge the same light pink along your lower lash line to make eyes appear larger and more doe-like. Top it off with coats of waterproof mascara to make pink eyes pop even more against the brown dress<\/a>.<\/p>\n The soft pink eyes draw just enough attention to balance out an ensemble without overpowering it. Your eyes will look fresh and romantic for day or night when paired with a brown fall dress.<\/p>\n Plum lipstick shades add a touch of richness and sophistication that pairs wonderfully with a brown dress.<\/p>\n While reds can seem overpowering, plums offer a softer alternative that’s still glamorous.<\/p>\n Look for a true plum or prune shade that has blue and red undertones.<\/p>\n This helps the color pop against brown instead of blending in too much.<\/p>\n MAC’s Powder Kiss Lipstick in Passionate is an affordable plum shade that looks high-end. Or for a darker option, ColourPop’s Ultra Blotted Lip in Bad Habit has rich blue notes that make teeth look whiter.<\/p>\n Line lips slightly outside your natural lip line before applying color to make them appear fuller. Then blend in lipstick with your finger for a stain-like effect.<\/p>\n For day, stick to subtle plum and keep eyes soft with neutral shadows. At night, try a darker lip with smoky taupe eyes to balance boldness.<\/p>\n Plummy lips coupled with your brown dress creates a head-turning yet sophisticated look.<\/p>\n A bronzed, sun-kissed glow is perfect for pairing with a rich brown dress.<\/p>\n It keeps makeup looks light and fresh while still complimenting the fall color palette.<\/p>\n First, apply a liquid or cream bronzer all over your face, including forehead, chin, nose and cheekbones.<\/p>\n I like Physician’s Formula Butter Bronzer for its blendable formula.<\/p>\n Blend the bronzer really well with a foundation brush or bronzer brush in downward strokes so there’s no harsh lines. Make sure to bronze your eyelids and lower lash line as well for a cohesive look.<\/p>\n Then, sweep on a shimmering powder highlighter like Maybelline Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter on cheekbones, brow bone and cupid’s bow. This adds subtle luminosity.<\/p>\n Finish with a sheer gloss on lips and heavy mascara. The bronzed skin and flesh tones make your features glow while emphasizing the chic brown dress<\/a>.<\/p>\n Aim to look like you just got back from a beach vacation! This fresh, healthy makeup compliments the dress perfectly without overwhelming its beautiful fall hue.<\/p>\n A vivid red lip is the ultimate way to glam up a LBD or other dark-colored dress<\/a>.<\/p>\n When paired with brown, the contrast really makes a statement.<\/p>\n For red, go bold – don’t be afraid of bright, blue-based reds. Classics like MAC Russian Red and Ruby Woo flatter all complexions.<\/p>\n Apply lip liner slightly outside your natural lip line before filling in with lipstick to make your pout appear fuller.<\/p>\n Blot lipstick and reapply for true pigmented color that lasts. Keep other makeup simple – subtle smokey eyes and cheeks with a touch of blush or bronzer. Let the red lip be the focal point of the look.<\/p>\n If you’re nervous about a true red, try a blue-redhybrid like MAC Chili or Revlon’s Ultimatte Lipcolor in Unapologetic.<\/p>\n These berry tones play it safe but still stand out vs brown.<\/p>\n For day, line only the lips in red and apply a clear gloss on top to lighten up the look. Red lips have maximum impact when worn with a brown dress whether at work, play or night out!<\/p>\n A rich, wine-colored berry lip is perfect for the fall\/winter season when pairing with brown dresses or tops.<\/p>\n Berries provide depth and dimension without being as bold as a true red.<\/p>\n Look for a berry with deep purple and red undertones. This will make your smile pop against brown fabric beautifully.<\/p>\n For a creamy berry lip, try ColourPop Ultra Satin Lip in Mystic or Juicy. These ultra pigmented shades glide on smoothly.<\/p>\n For a more long-lasting option, line lips with a deep berry liner like MAC Subculture and fill in with a matching matte lipstick. This ensures your pout stays vibrant all day and night.<\/p>\n Choose neutrally smoky eye makeup to let the berry lips take center stage. A touch of blush also adds lovely contrast to berry lips when worn with brown.<\/p>\n At the office<\/a>, swipe on a clear or pale pink gloss over liner for a softer berry tint. Or layer on the full pigment to amp up the drama for evenings. Deep berry lips are always on trend and flatter every complexion!<\/p>\n Smoky taupe eyes create depth and drama that pairs beautifully with brown. The cooler undertones of taupe complement fall colors like brown seamlessly.<\/p>\n Start with an eyeshadow primer to make colors more vibrant. Then use Maybelline City Mini palette in Rooftop Bronzes to sweep medium toned taupes all over the lid.<\/p>\n Blend a darker taupe or gray into the crease using a fluffy brush in windshield wiper motions. This adds attractive dimension. Don’t forget to blend well for a seamless smoky effect.<\/p>\n Tightline your upper waterline with a taupe eyeshadow or pencil to make lashes appear thicker. Then line with a darker taupe shade close to the lash line and smudge it out.<\/p>\n Wispy black mascara on top and bottom lashes finishes the smoky eye. Keep lips neutral with nude or baby pink for a sultry evening look that pairs beautifully with brown.<\/p>\n The misty taupe shades will make eyes stand out dramatically against your dress without overwhelming its gorgeous fall hue.<\/p>\n Adding just a touch of shimmer to your eyes is an easy way to glam up a brown dress without overdoing your makeup look.<\/p>\n Shimmering shadows catch the light and make eyes pop.<\/p>\n For daytime, use a light gold or champagne shade packed on all over the lids.<\/p>\n Tap MAC Nylon or Urban Decay’s Aura eyeshadow across lids with your finger for an instant makeover effect.<\/p>\n The subtle sheen dresses up denim or your LBD without appearing over-the-top.<\/p>\n Keep other makeup minimal with brown mascara and rosy blush.<\/p>\n For evenings, layer on more of a smoky shimmer like Sephora Collection Baked Eyeshadow Trio in After Hours on lids and blend into crease.<\/p>\n This adds glamour without going full-on smoky eye that could compete with your dress color. Top with tightlining and voluminous lashes to frame shimmering lids.<\/p>\nNude Lips + Nude Eyeshadows<\/h2>\n
