Eyeshadow recs for honey brown (amber) eyes

caethes · 01-27-2006, 02:36 AM #1 (**permalink**)

my eyes are kinda amber coloured (honey brown with gold specks) and I really want to bring out the gold in my eyes. What eyeshadows would you recommend. (I'm kinda new to the makeup world and a mac virgin so i want to expand my horizons)

incidently in case it affects choices my skin is pale but warm toned and my hair is dark auburn verging on brown with red highlights.

I would say try a green...humid or sprout?

Browns/Golds like:

Amber Lights (great to bring out gold tones!)
Bronze
Woodwinked
Mythology

Eye kohl- Powersurge to bring out gold, line top and bottom waterline and then add a powder liner (my fav is Tempting or All That Glitters) along the lashlines

Taking my own advice, I used some greens today...sprout all over lid, humid in outer v, woodwinked in crease, all that glitters on the browbone and shroom to highlight! I'd highly recommend it, plus it uses the tones that Barbie Doll recommended.

If you want your eyes to really stand out, I would recommend purples -- parfait amour, beautiful iris, nocturnelle -- as that would be a complementary colour to your amber eyes.
