Golds are flattering on people with brown hair and brown eyes.

It also depends on what outfit your going to wear too! Peach, Apricot, Bronze and gold works best with brown hair and brown eyes. I suggest changing the colors with what you wear
For Example: If you wear Blue jeans, a purple top, a purple headband or a purple hair accessory then purple eyeshadow will look good on you.
However if you wear a green top and blue jeans and a green headband then I think that apricot will look good on you unless it's lime green. Then you should use green eyeshadow.
Basically it's all the outfits you wear and somtimes try different colors on to see which one you like. Experiment with them.
Tip: Try adding some sparkles if it's a special occasion
Hope This Helps!

If you have light brown eyes, a good steely gray can be very interesting.
Carmandy (the girl on What not to Wear) often uses a reddish brown on dark haired girls and a pinky burgandy on blondes.
Of course, a bronzy, orangy gold will look great if you have dark, dark eyes.
Green is good as well, as long as you keep it more olivey than Christmas!
Good luck!
I think all of these are great fall colors...it's so much easier to do a heavier eye and skip the lipstick because it lasts so much longer...so def look for stong colors that look good on you!

Brown eyes look great in grey, plum and pink tones as well as golds and burnt oranges. The intensity of color you wear depends on your skin tone. For a fair skin, use grey on the eylid, plum on the outer edge of the eye, and pink under the eyebrow. For a medium to deeper skin tone, the plum could be used on the lid and into the crease area. Colosé Safari Gold and Orient (deep plum) eyeshadow duets are perfect colors for you. Plums, pinks and bronzes. The one thing that brown eyes girls need to watch out for are grays and certain shades of brown, which can make you look tired, and messy. For daytime, go with a nice light bronze shade, and for night, go with a deep plum to spice it up.

Don't go for anything dark unless you are good at applying makeup you may ending up looking like a hooker!!
Try a soft beige on the entire eye area and perhaps a darker brown on the inner corner! make the most out of brown eyes by applying white eye liner on the inner eye and a darker brown on the under lash if you can apply it well darker on your upper lid too. Finsih off witha brown mascara or brown black i would steer clear of black as it may look too much!
Have fun!!!

Colours similar to your colouring such as rich browns, golds, bronzes etc, but dark green and purple also look great.

Use greys, plums, lavender and blue - it's always good to use contrasting colors to bring out your eyes. Good luck.
