Beautiful brown skinned ladies, what eye colors make your dark brown eyes pop?

[reesesilverstar]

Baby, you can wear whatever you like, Ah said, you can wear whatever you like, yea!!

Yea I'm corny...

I'm NC45-50. Dark blue, green, silver, purple grey and black. They make the brown pop way out! Just the dark tones tho, do that for me.

I definitely understand that! I have to get up earlier just to get it done.

Try the blues.. you will like them! Just have to find the right ones. I'm new to MAC so I don't have blues yet... I'm still building my first neutral palette since I wear them most often.

any shade of purple does the trick for me. i also loooooove wearing golds.

I think that any shade would look pretty on our skintone. I'm a NW45 girl and I use practically any shadow color from either the 120, 88 shimmer, or ben nye lumiere palettes. The colors I mostly use are oranges, grays, pinks, and reds.

I'm an NC44 (thats me in my avatar) My brown eyes are extremely dark...I often have people ask me if they're black...I find that blues, greens, purples, gold/bronze, and black of course, brings the brown in them out the most.

I agree with a few others that Deep Truth and Humid are very good colors for bringing out brown eyes...

Any color actually. I'm a NC43 and I hardly do neutrals and browns. I love my bright colors...I get the most compliments using blues, purples and greens though

Personally, I am a lover of bright colors. I am an NC 50 with brown eyes. I love colors such as purple, yellow, teal, turquoise, bronze, blues, orange, red, silver, golds, and of course greens (bright vibrant ones such as lime greens) for the eyes. I do not like pastels such as soft pinks, blues, greens. The pastel colors have a tendency of making me look washed out.

I so agree. I haven't met a purple that hasn't worked for me.
But I'm finding that brown skin can rock most color families. I love the gold/copper/bronzes as well as greens and oranges. Blue was a color I was always afraid of, but I love teals.

Team Violets ~ love this!

shroom all over my lid w/ a matte brown in the crease (i changed from "omega to handwritten" and everything in between) my brown eyes pop!!

 

[l1onqueen]

another vote for purples! I love to jazz u a neutral eye with purple mascara! Stars & Rockets E/S and electrolady liquid last liner are good too!

 

[MsMaryMAC]

purples make brown eyes pop.

NC50 and I love Belle Azure, Electric Eel, Stars n Rockets, Swimming, Steamy, Humid, Clarity, Plum Dressing, NYX Purple ( the deepest purple ever!) So basically anything bright! I wear all black clothing all the time just so I can wear bright e/s and not look ridiculously colorful.

I do too! I usually wear all basic colors just so I CAN wear my favorite bright colors. I LOVE PINKS & BLUES.

I am still afraid of Yellow eye shadows though. ha ha

 

[kaloresxcierre]

adding a gold or silver to my inner corners always seems to do the trick =]

 

[NewlyMACd]

Any color really. I love greens and purples. Today I did a juxt, swimming, freshwater and deep truth. Talk about POP! Looked great. As long as I can get it to layer, I will do it. I have just been playing around with colors.

 

[Prototype83]
