I also have dark brown eyes. I use a black eyeliner (actually a black eye shadow) to line my upper lids and a white eye shadow on the lid. This really makes them pop. Brown liner isn't as effective as black for dark brown eyes. If I want a lighter liner, I use a dark plum or a dark bronze.
Also, sometimes I will use golds and bronzes as eye shadows. This color scheme looks especially good because I have gold flecks in my eyes.
I don't do well with pastels, but I like a bronzy pink, especially in the summertime.
What kind of undertones do you have in your skin? I am light-to- medium complected; a light beige, but I have strong olive and rosy undertones. Blue and purple seem to clash with my skin so I'm staying away from those, but a dark plum seems to look good.
I just bought a Colorstay eye shadow set from Revlon called Berry Bloom and the fuchsia color is fantastic on dark brown eyes (in the crease), especially when used with a white eye shadow and black liner! I also like the dark plum color.
Hope this helps and have fun!

A makeup stylist told me that either blue or oranges or like coral colours are the best for dark brown eyes. I think the orangey shades work the best. Esp if you have really tanned skin as well.
Another trick to highlight you eyes is to put a little bit of light shimmery powder under your eyebrows and on the corner of your eyes closest to you nose.
And wear lots of mascara... that always helps.

Everyone else hit pretty much on the colors and things for the eyes but the other way to really make them stand out is to chose a light or neutral shade for your lipstick. I was told that you draw more attention to your face if you only highlight one aspect (such as focusing on your eyes) rather than using dark colors for both eyes and lips.

I use black eyeshadow and a thin line throuhg my bottom lashes.... also, when i put the eye shadow on i take a small brush and blend it lightly upward and then i take a finger and sweep it from th eoutside corner of my eye out... it kinda shades them in a dramatic way... everytime i go out all i hear is how beautiful my eyes are... use black mascara too... No, i'm not goth either..lol... I used to use natural tones until i tried the black once and had so many great compliments on my eyes so i've used it ever since.

I love my dark brown eyes out of anything else about me. I use natural colors for eye shadow, dark mascara, and dark blue, or dark grey eye liner. I get complimented, so give that a try.

I have dk brn eyes and I like to use black eyeliners and dark blue eyeliners by maybelline expert eyes and i like to use br/bl mascara on my eyes. I have been told my eyes stand out better when I do this, also for eyeshadow i like to use like a tan/light brown eyeshadow with green eye shadow or brown shadow with a pink eyeshadow. I always use a lightpink/rose colored blush o cheeks.

with dark brown eyes you can do soo much, but to make them pop! i would use colors similar to your eye color, or something darker, like a smokey look you can really oull that off with dark eyes, but gold on the inside corners of the eyes will leave people remembering your eyes forever
Hope i Helped

eyeshadow colours like smoky greys can make dark eyes look mysterious but if you want your eyes to stand out then use a light bold colour like green or pink!

Light purple shades enhance brown eyes.

With dark brown eyes I would actually go with a navy blue eyeliner. It will makes your eyes stand out.
