Make a Statement
They say your eyes are the window to your soul, so why not pull people in with stunning shadow colors? Don’t believe what they say about brown eyes either; they’re a beautiful shade that’s only amplified with the right skills! Come with us as we help make those peepers really pop.
1. Get a Good Purple
You wouldn’t think purple and brown go well together, but this iconic duo is a must. Amethyst or even a deep plum is actually an incredible contrast that makes your eyes pop. If you want a subtler look, you can always rock eyeliner instead.
2. A Neutral Base
Whether you blend darker shades or opt for a smoky look, brown eyes need a neutral base. Luckily, plenty of palettes have exactly what you’re looking for—and some even dedicate themselves to neutrals entirely.
3. Copper is Your Friend
You might think that copper is too similar to brown, therefore a shade to be ignored. However, this classic shade works beautifully with those chocolate eyes, and you’ll often find them in neutral palettes. It works amazingly across the lid or even just in the crease.
4. Make Sure You Blend
It’s one thing to choose the right tones, but it’s another to apply them properly. Blending ensures that your makeup doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb, seamlessly combining a myriad of shades that match your eyes.
5. Add Some Highlight
The last thing you want is to look like a raccoon walking around. A touch of highlighter makes your eyes pop, even with a smokier look. All you need is a lighter shade in the corner of your eyes to bring everything together.
