Step one: Line your eyes with dark brown liner, top and bottem.
Step two: Use a mauve color eye shadow...a darker pink...on your lids from corner to corner. Do not go above the crease.
Step three: In the crease apply a bronze color eyeshadow in a thin line from corner to corner.
Step four: Fill in the gap from the crease to your eyebrown with a natual color, a real light gold would look nice. Use that color to gently blend the other two together, also.
Step five: Use black mascarra on upper and lower lashes.

Light greens and gold. Use contrasting colors to bring out the brown-ness.

That is too easy. I have the same hair and stuff like that. You would have to put on a light color. That would look really preety. I am my dad's make-up artist for some of his films!

Same with me! Golds and greens work the best. Of course browns would look good too, but those are so ordinary and blaw! Go with the goldish greens! =)
