Makeup for Brown Eyes.

I think most of us with brown eyes have had a moment in our life where we desired to have blue, green, or any other coloured eyes. However, to be honest, lately I've really begun to appreciate and embrace brown eyes. There's just something so alluring and mysterious about them - plus, in terms of makeup, you're pretty much safe to wear any colour shadow without worries of any colours clashing with your eyes. Having said all this, there are specific eyeshadow shades that especially ehance brown eyes: basically colours that contrast, yet compliment brown by framing the eyes and making the warmth of them even more viid. Here's a run-down of some of the best complimenting shades for brown eyes: 

         

First off, in terms of colour: blues, greens, and purples. Because they are so different from brown eyes in comparison to reds and oranges, the brown eye colour contrasts against the eyeshadow, making brown eyes pop. Plus, cooler tones would be even more complimentary as, again, it's all about the juxtaposition of tones: cool tones frame the warmth of brown eyes, making the eye colour stand out and become more apparant. Whether you use actual eyeshadows are just a colourful eyeliner for the lash line, using browns, purples, and greens can really enhance your brown eyes. 

In terms of neutral eye makeup, it's important that the eyeshadow doesn't match too closely to the same tone of the brown in your eyes in order for them to stand out. That's why using a light bronze or honey coloured golds can really work as they're lighter than a deep brown and frame the depth of your eye colour. 

Finally, using white eyeliner can make brown eyes pop even more due to the apparant contrast between a deep brown and a stark white which even adds the illusion of larger eyes. Topping it all off with a thick coat of mascara further compliments the look as it plays up the more seductive and mysterious vibe that brown eyes can give.
