Makeup Tricks for Brown Eyes

Choose the right color:

Using light colored eye makeup will help to bring out the size of your eyes, besides making them look large, while darker colors have the opposite effect. You can also combine dark eye-liner with light eye shadow to give greater emphasis to your eyes.

For light brown eyes, don’t use black eye-liner but use dark brown. Apply eye makeup in three shades — on the lid use a neutral shade; on the crease, use a darker shade of the same color and use gold or green eye-liner to highlight the color of the flecks in your iris.

If your eyes are so light they are hazel in color, try Champagne tones with violet, bronze or brown liner to define the eye, offers Nina.

If you have dark brown eyes, using medium to dark shades of eye shadow will look good on you. Try using dark green, plum, mauve and rich grey for great effect.

If you have medium brown eyes, violet, bronze and green can be very dramatic. In fact, if you apply several colors of eye makeup, you can even have a multi-dimensional effect.

Purple mascara:

Among all the makeup tricks for brown eyes you’ll ever hear of, this one’s got to be the most amazing. If you have brown eyes with hazel flecks in your iris, go for purple shades of eye makeup for good effect. It also provides a good contrast and makes the white of the eye or the scaler appear brighter.

Neutral colors:

Perhaps, you don’t want your eyes to stand out in your face but opt for a more natural look. In this case, choose neutral shades like peach, taupe or browns. For the barest amount of makeup, choose eye-liner in these shades that can bring just enough color to your eyes that you want.

Gold shadow:

Warm metallic shades like gold and bronze do wonders for dark eyes and make them shine.

For an evening out:

To look absolutely gorgeous, use a metallic silver eye shadow on your eyelids and team it up with a metallic plum eye-liner on the bottom eyelash line. This will highlight your eyes.

Shimmer:

Add a bit of shimmer to go with your eye shadow color so that your eyes are highlighted. Try this and you’ll soon believe that this is indeed one of the best makeup tricks for brown eyes.

Cobalt blue:

The widest palette of eye shades cannot be as effective as cobalt blue eye shades when applied on brown eyes. The color is brighter and adds a sparkle to your eyes.

These are just some makeup tricks for brown eyes. However, once you know what works for you, you’re good to go.
