What kind of eye makeup should I wear with brown eyes?

Question

I have black hair with streaks and my skin which is fairly tanned from the summer. I'm wondering what kind of makeup I should use for my brown eyes. I have dark brown eyes and depending on the season it grows lighter at times. I'm not sure what kind of products, company names, and makeup tricks that will make my eyes stand out. If you have any tips, or suggestions, please leave a comment, thank you so much-

Answer 1

I have brown eyes as well. I usually use a green eyeliner with a light brown eyeshadow and then mascara. The green eyeliner is suppose to make your eyes POP. and i usually get comments on my make up. You can use black but it will make your eyes looks smaller. If you are already using black try plum. I read in a magazine that it is the new black and looks good with brown eyes. so i tryed it and i liked it. Alot more then i do black because it doesn't make my eyes look as small. I hope this answer helps!

Answer 2

I think that blue, brown & purples will look really nice & grab more attention- in a good way!! And if you want ur eyes to look more natural try golds & greens. Otherwise coz you have dark features you can more or less wear any colour you like as long as it suits your skin tone.

Answer 3

green~ think foresty shades of green..

blacks, charcoals, dark browns are good on all eye colors too... but green, would really bring out the brown in ur eyes!

i've attached a video from the bobbi brown cosmetics website on this season's hottest make up trend too: metallics!

for more ideas on how to dress up ur eyes, try browsing through cosmetic sites like bobbibrowncosmetics.com or maccosmetics.com. they'll keep u up to date on what's in style and give u tips on which products to use and how to use them!

u're so lucky! brown eyes work with most colors! *cheers*

Answer 4

Well i got dark brown eyes too but if I wear dark black eyeliner and mascara and use green or purple for my eyeshadow and dark black for my eye brows.

Answer 5

Blue makes brown eyes pop.

Suggest you wear navy eyeliner tight against upper lash line w/ mascara.

For evening, try black eyeliner, slightly shimmery champagne & black mascara w/ coat of dark navy mascara @ the tips of the upper lashes.

For mascara - L'Oreal - any formula except Lash Out

For eye shadow - Revlon or L'Oreal

Groom your brows. Have them done professionally & maintain the arch at home w/ periodic tweezing.

Answer 6

black eyeliner with black eyeshadow on the outer part of your eye and as you start moving inward use dark blue then move to light blue and then a really light almost white colour eyeshadow. so your going from light to dark from the outside or your eye in. its a great trick and it makes your eyes stand out!

Answer 7

i I saw a wonderful makeover the other day on what not to wear where carmindy used gold eyeshadow on the browbone as a highlight, a pinky plum color on the lid, and used eggplant colored eyeliner. the girl on the show had dark brown hair and brown eyes. she had a medium complexion.

Answer 8

I think black mascara, a bit of black eyeliner and some pale blue, white or dusty pink eyeshadow

Answer 9

I would tend to go for a goldish shimmer. Less drag queen and more glistening.
