What are good eye shadow colors for brown eyes?

i've been wanting to do something new with my eyes but i dont know what kind of colors and shades to use.What are good eye shadow colors for brown eyes?
This final installment is about choosing the best shades of eyeshadow for our chocolicious brown eyed babes.





Let's do a quick recap (I know, it's old by now for you devoted readers) for those of you who are new readers:











The goal of wearing eye make-up is to enhance/bring attention to your eyes. I've taught you, that the rule of thumb is to wear the opposite color eye shadow of your eyes on the color wheel so that your eyes really stand out (or POP as they say in the make-up world). But, brown isn't all that clearly defined on the color wheel so I called in the help of some of my FABulous make up counter experts who say (and I agree), that the best eyeshadow shade for brown eyes are bronzes and greens.





This is super exciting, because as we are well aware by now, metallics are all the rage. Here are my pics for bronze and shimmery deep brown colors for brown eyes. And FYI - these colors can be simple to use alone. Just apply them to the lid and crease.











Stila Eye Shadow in Twig which you can buy here for $14, and











Lancome Color Design Eye Shadow in Click which you can buy here for $14.50

My favorite green shadows for brown eyes are:





Senna's Metallic Eye Color in De-Vine. It's more of a rich greeny gold which you can buy here for $15.











Scott Barnes Eye Ice in Goddess which you can buy here for $25.











To specifically make your brown eyes bold, you can line both the upper and the lower rims heavily using a classic black pencil as weIl as a deep brown shadow or pencil. I suggest Shu Uemura's Drawing Pencil in Metallic Brown. It's amazingly smooth and the color is FAB. Buy it here for $18.











Application recap: If you are going for the whole shebang (lid, crease and highlighter), apply the lightest color (shimmery taupe or bronze) to the entire eyelid all of the way to the edge of the eyebrow. Use a deeper color from the same color family (i.e. deep brown) to the crease and dust a highlighter (a pale, shimmery, neutral or brown) just beneath the brow.











And don't forget to blend well. Just when you think you've blended enough, blend more, more and then some more! The goal is not to have obvious edges of color. Remember, lighter colors highlight and darker colors recede and add depth and shading.

Try navy. My fav is a navy smoky eye, lined with black eyeliner (not liquid) and black mascara.





Purple (plum not pastel) is also fun, even with mascara. My bf





I've found that gray can make brown eyes pop too, especially when keeping the rest of the face simple.
My friend has brown eyes,


and she always uses silvery or gold eyeliner on her eyelids.


i think that looks really good!


or just using a basic brown eyeshadow %26amp; a tiny bit of brown eyeliner on the bottom makes eyes pop.
Green or purple. My friend has brown eyes and she wears purple eye shadow all the time and her eyes are so pretty.
