I think that a smokey eye look is very dramatic!

It really depends on the size of your eyes.
If you have smaller eyes, I would go with the "smoky eye" look. Line your upper eyelid with black eyeshadow. Above that, apply a dark grey color (be sure to apply it using an angled brush and starting from the outside.) and blend the two colors. If you do this, be sure to wear a light colored lip color.
If you have big eyes, I would go for a green/teal color with a darker/neutral lip color. This will draw the attention away from your eyes and more towards the center of your face.

It doesn't matter really what color eyeshadow you put on its gonna look good. Its all in how you put in on. If you want the more natural look and your light brown complected try darker shade browns or golds, even grey. Let the eyeshadow set the tone for whatever it is you have on

With darker eyes, use blues, purples, and greys.
However, with your skin color, you can probably use gold (It isn't too obvious and can bring out hidden tones in your eyes, even if they are dark) or green (this can look very good with dark eyes, but is very obvious and can be hard to apply so that it is not too strong, depending on the shade.)
Try gold or a lighter brown than your skin at first so that you can get used to putting it on, then mix in some purple, blue, or gray with the gold- mixing and blending can give you so many combinations that look great with your eyes!

Well I think you should go with light shiny pink or a really pretty brown. I would go with the pink to make your eyes pop. Then a brown,[ well a light shinney brown ] if you were hanging around just watching a movie.

smokey eyes look so good! I have dark brown eyes so thats what i always do with minimal make up and just lip gloss.. it looks great! I usually wear a lot of dark plums, greys and dark brown or black shades with a jet black eye liner and mascara. ..

Try a bronze color. Something natural, but with shimmer. Nothing too much. or else you'll looke tacky. If you want to do the smokey eye look, only do it at nite if your going somewhere, or else it looks too much.

Greens and Purples. Not too heavy. A colored maskera is a great way to get a splash of color.

Any color looks fine... as long as you dont exagerate and put too much.
Oh and it doesnt HAVE to match the hot pink shirt your planing to wear, you'll look like a 10 yr. old who was playing with her moms makeup.
