Anyone got any tips on bringing out brown eyes? I have been told I have beautiful eyes. Can anyone suggest an eyeshadow palette? Any other makeup or skin care tips are welcomed as well.

    Blue eyeshadow makes brown eyes POP! I'm like a makeup addict. A nice blue eyeshadow, matte or shimmer, will do. Put various shades of brown in the crease starting from lightest to dark, eyeliner and a pair of flared or wispy lashes and you're good to go!

    What about natural eyeshadow? Have you tried the Naked palette?

    my hair color and eye color works best with the purple shades, but I use the browns/neutrals as well.

    I remember years ago when I was a beauty adviser, there was a makeup line that had different shadows and liners for different colored eyes and plum was one of the colors for brown eyes and a co-worker tried it out and her eyes popped. It was kind of sheer so it wasn't really prominent bit enough to to accent the color of her eyes.

    I have brown eyes and love using an emerald green or deep violet eyeliner on my upper lids, with light brown eyeshadow. Blue eyeshadow on me makes me look like I'm in Jr. High school.

    Might bring out the gold flecks in my eyes too. I'll take it under advisement.

    If people are saying your eyes are pretty it probably has a lot more to do with shape and size and eyelash length. Unless your eyes are light brown so they look very different. Brown eyes are the most common eye color. Find out what about your eyes is intriguing. Maybe you have many things, maybe they are big, almond shaped, long lashes AND light brown, basically you would just need to be natural, that would show off how amazing they are without anything added. If you wanna wear something black smokey eyes make any eye stand out like no tomorrow :)

    Cassandrarodriguez89 is right, there's normally a specific reason as to why your eyes are your best feature. Unfortunately bad make up application/colour choice won't bring out the best in them.

    Maybe you could invest in a make up session to find out what colours/Styles work for you?

    The UD Naked palette, a good mascara, and curler. I recommend Lancome's Hypose and Tarte's lash curler. Or lash extensions if you can afford the upkeep. I personally love them and get compliments all the time.

    Well they're sort of obscure but not obscure at the same time.
