First, you need to determine your skin tone. Here's how to determine your skin tone:
Warm skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear green.
2. Gold jewelry is more flattering than silver jewelry.
Cool skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear blue.
2. Silver jewelry is more flattering.
A good place to start is w/ soft browns, taupes and slightly shimmery champagne for eye shadows. Since your lashes are probably, light - consider a brown mascara.

When a girl has a dark eye and light skin, you want some color to pop yet not jump at you. So go for a pinkish (not pink pink) light pink also for a dark brighty eye go into liek a dark purple for the creese of the eye!!

I would say go to your local mall and find the make-up counter in the department store. They will let you try on different shades so that you can see for yourself how they look. Because really no one can tell you what colors you can wear. What if they look crazy?
Go to the MAC counter, well actually they are a bit high end. However if you go and try on some colors, then you can go to Wal-mart and get some covergirl in similiar colors.

I carry in creme shadows in Mink, nightfall pink or Cashmere that would compliment your eyes nicely. As Lila reported wooded area eco-friendly could look remarkable with brown eyes, yet be careful to not over prepare. The trick is to compliment your eyes & demonstrate your constructive factors to their suited benefit. Shimmer cubes in the glint or heat palette could additionally pass great along with your eyes. they could be utilized moist or dry for a thoroughly diverse look. purely prepare a softer colour everywhere in the attention & accessory in the shadow of the attention and a splash close to the nook of the attention with the assessment colour. sort of like a v on that is edge.

bronzes and golds. browns. if you have green flecks in your eyes, then find some greens that match well.
brunettes always look great with green eye makeup and bronzey shimmery shades.
Cinnamon by Estee Lauder, that's my favorite! and Bronze Cube.
also, the dark brown shimmery gel eyeliner from MAC with the slanted brush to apply it with.

Nice deep purples look really great on brown-ish eyes. If you are unsure, you can try ALMAY, they have color pallets ready for each common eye color.
