What colors will bring out your brown eyes?

[Kat]

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.

To make brown eyes pop ?

I'm looking for some shadows to make my eyes stand out. I have dark brown almond shaped eyes and i wear an NC42. I usually use neutrals so I'm used to using alot of browns but i really need some more colors. Any recs?

purples....parfait amour - nocturnelle - creme de violet

 

[Kat]

purples or greens - sprout, humid, juxt.

I think Trax makes brown eyes really bright. Plus it's just a step away from brown, at least on me, so it works well as a work safe look.

Greens or bright blues! if you do a really crazy bright blue lid, like electric eel, it almost makes brown eyes look orangey. it's cool! Greens look really awesome on brown eyes, too.

I have very dark brown eyes and I've been told most anything vibrant makes them pop out! So Greens, Blues and Purples look awesome!! Some of my favorites are:
Humid
Au Contraire
Steamy
Aquadisiac

just to name a few!

Steamy makes my eyes pop. Lining with Shade fluidline also works.

Purples, Greens or Blues

 

[litlaur]

Definitely try colored liner. Green (Velvet Moss e/s is a favorite, Shade f/l), purple (Non-conformist f/l), or blue (Deep Truth e/s).

 

[colormust]

brown eyes here also...i love humid, juxt, swimming ( i love greens )

 

[LatinaRose]

Brown eyes here as well and I love purples, blues, and greens.

blues - deep truth, electric eel, clear sky blue pigment (love this! it's the perfect Tiffany blue)

purples - parfait amour, french violet and violet pigment. I really wish mac would come out with a more intense purple. Using the purple paint underneath helps.

greens - humid for an intense look, greensmoke for a more neutral look. also love the green piggies - teal, emerald green, landscape green, and forest green.

Also, for a hot, smokey, sort of Egyptian-kinda look, I like to use Nars Nightclubbing e/s (black w/ gold flecks) with amber lights. Gorgeous on brown eyes!!

I have brown eyes and I'm NC43 so we're pretty darn close! The standouts are greens, purples, blues and golds for me.

 

[xiahe]

purples! - of any kind! i swear purples were made for brown eyes. greens are nice, too.

 

[MeganGMcD]

My eyes are very dark brown, and a wash of light blue and a whole lot of mascara make them look almost black, very pretty a doe-eyed!

Green is beautiful too, so is lilac. I have been sporting a green lid with a purple liner.

While you would have to kill me to take my benefit bad-gal liner, I find colored liners, especially vivid colors are so nice.

blues and greens make my eyes pop, but it has to be bright blues...i also love purples too.

 

[kimmy]

shimmermoss. oh damn, that stuff makes brown eyes stand out so seriously.
