Eye Makeup for Brown Eyes is pretty much unlimited. Lucky Brown Eyed Girls can wear just about any color and look great. You have more variety and choices than any other eye color. Because your eyes are darker, you can go darker with your eye makeup and look dramatic and mysterious, not like a clown.
You can easily wear black mascara because your eyelashes are naturally dark. Although if you do have lighter hair and lashes, you might want to try a brownish black mascara. I love Navy Blue mascara with my brown eyes. I have black lashes naturally and with navy blue mascara, my lashes still look black, but somehow it seems to brighten or highlight my eyes.
Brown Eyed Girls can also go dark with eye liner – black, dark brown or navy blue. I think darker eye liners do more to emphasize darker eyes, while lighter liners seem to just call attention to the makeup, not the 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. My favorite eyeshadow look is to go with a neutral shimmery beige color on the lid and use a darker accent color – it can be darker brown, purple, dark blue or even green. If you are feeling adventurous, you can always match you purple eyeshadow with a dark purple eyeliner. (If it is too light or too purple it will not be flattering – it should look black from a distance.)
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!
