Eyeshadows: BROWN EYES

Brown is the most common eye color in the world. If you have brown eyes, you don’t need to feel that they are ‘boring’ or ‘uninteresting’. In fact, brown eye coloring is a great advantage because this shade of eye color lends itself to eye makeup very well indeed. To draw attention to the rich, deep brown hue of your eyes, you can use a good number of shades with your eye makeup.



Brown eyes are very versatile and they look great with nearly every shade of eye shadow. However some shades make them look particularly glamorous. If you like metallics, then you can pick up a copper, gold or bronze shade to give your eyes a mesmerizing look while highlighting the deep richness of your brown irises. Browns are also great choices and they add to the depth of your brown eyes, drawing attention to them instantly. Do remember that if you use brown, then the color of the eye shadow should be a bit lighter than your dark brown eye color and vica versa. If you have light brown eyes then you can use a darker brown eye shadow. This will make your eyes stand out even more. Pinks help the brown eyes stand out without appearing flashy.
If you are opting for an understated look, then neutral color choices are a good option. Among these, pick up brown, peach or taupe to subtly highlight the eyes without making the eye makeup very evident. These eye shadow shades are perfect when you are getting ready for a business meeting where you do not want your makeup to be very obvious. To go a step further and opt for the dramatic look, select blue, brown, gold, vanilla, gray, black, violet, nutmeg or purple. Pick the deeper hues of these colors to outline your brown eyes perfectly.
One of the biggest advantages of having brown eyes is that you can pull off the dramatic look just as well as you can carry away the subtle one. This makes it incredibly easy for brown eyed beauties to match their eye makeup to their outfit or mood. A smoky eye also looks very nice with brown eyes.


Apply a highlighting color over the entire eye area. Sweep the chosen eye shadow either on the eyelid or in the crease of the eye. Use a darker shadow to line the eyes to make them look bigger. Otherwise, you can simply use an eyeliner pencil to draw a fine line close to the lash lines. If an eyeliner pencil is your choice, then pick up golden browns, bronze, deep blue, dark gray or different shades of brown. Charcoal black liner applied slightly thicker than usual makes your brown irises appear lighter and translucent. Metallics and lighter shades make your eye color richer and deeper.
Use primer, foundation and powder before you do your eyelid makeup to ensure that the color stays on all day. The biggest problem with eye makeup is smudging and the primer ensures that this does not happen. Pat the primer gently onto the eyelids before you apply the base color.
White eyeliner applied to the waterline makes your eye appear more open and bigger as well. Pay attention to your brows as they serve to highlight your brown eyes and your eye makeup perfectly. A dot of shimmer to the inner corner of your eyes makes your beautiful brown eyes really pop!
