Eye Makeup for Brown Eyes

Eye Shadow - Eye Makeup for Brown Eyes

Since you can wear almost any color, you always have the option of matching your eye shadow to your clothing. Otherwise you can go with neutrals like taupes and browns. Pink eye shadow with a darker color in the crease will really make your eyes sparkle. Grey eyeshadows and liners look great and can give you a smokey eye look that is toned down enough for daytime wear.

Metallics in the gold, bronze, brown and pink family look great on brown eyes. 

Just a reminder, if you are going for eye drama and playing up your gorgeous eyes, be sure and go with a neutral blush and lip color. Otherwise you will look way too made up!

Eyeshadow Colors For Brown Eyes

If you want to really play up your brown eyes then consider nice, smoky brow eye shadow. Use something lighter during the day, and keep darker brown shades for a dramatic night time entrance. 

Its also fun to tinker with colors you don't see that often – like peach or sunshine yellow. Fair-skinned folk would do better with light colors while dark skinned women can reach for those deeper tones confidently.

There are different dimensions to brown going from light to nearly black. For someone who has very dark brown eyes, it's good to include something lighter in eye makeup so that your eyes don't look harsh.

For women with light brown eyes, pastels are a good choice, particularly yellow. Avoid black eyeliner and opt for brown instead. 

Finally, for someone with hazel eyes use an intense eyeliner like bronze or purple and follow with an eye shadow that's just a little darker than your skin (Mauve being one possibility).

the way, if you want to make your brown eyes look longer just extend your eye liner and shadow slightly farther than the corner of your eye. Remember to blend!
