Ok, so you were one of the lucky ones to be born with chocolate brown eyes – but now you want to make them even more beautiful by finding an appropriate eyeshadow for brown eyes. The first thing we would say is that it is a big decision to make but it’s also fun and exciting mixing and matching different pieces of advice to find the right look for you and your brown eyes.

Eyes are said to be the window to the soul and one of the most attractive features of the face. Get your eyes right and you’re already on the way – but get them wrong and it can ruin everything, no matter how pretty your hair or make up may be!

The simple fact is that for every type of eye color there are certain eye shadows that work and ones that don’t. For people with brown eyes, picking the right eyeshadow for your eyes is a slightly easier task than, say, someone choosing an eyeshadow for their green eyes.

The first rule is to pick a color that is the complete opposite of the color of your eyes (in this case brown). A subtle green or even a bronze color works wonders for chocolate eyes. These are very safe colors when it comes to choosing eyeshadow for brown eyes and you can’t really go wrong in choosing these two ‘safe’ options.

If you’re the type of person that likes to experiment and go out on a limb – why not try different shades of blue or gold – yellow can look great sometimes too. Mix and match and see which works best for you and your unique look.

Your particular skin tone and hair color can become big factors when choosing also, so please make sure to take these into account. Below we go through three of the best colors you can go with when choosing eye shadow for brown eyes.

Brown Color Eyeshadow

It may be unusual to suggest that you go with the exact same color as your eyes (since we recommended that you go with the opposite earlier in this article) – but under certain conditions it can work really well if you look a certain way. Keep away from browns that are flat and monotone as these can give a tired and dull look to your eye area. Applying some shimmer and/or gold will add that extra bit of oomph! to brown eyes. Always go with a brown that is a few shades lighter or darker – but never the exact same color as your eyes as this look generally never tends to work. Some colors to take into account if you’re stuck: Mahogony, amber, copper.

Green Color Eyeshadow

Green is an awesome color when it comes to choosing a color of eyeshadow for your eyes. It adds a seductive and alluring look, especially hues of olive aqnd off-green. This is a great look for big nights out with the girls. Green on brown also adds a fun element to your facial features so experiment and find which is right for you.

Blue Eyeshadow

Like green, blue eye shadow for chocolate eyes works a treat. Count yourself lucky, as people with brown eyes carry off the blue eyeshadow look the best. Baby blue works amazingly well in most circumstances but if you go for something darker it can be harder to pull off. Keep it light is the general rule with blue eyehadow.

Your Skin Tone

Our final piece of advice would be that your skin tone plays a major role when choosing eyeshadow for brown eyes. If you have a redish complexion or are constantly flushed keep away from any sort of red color or pinks.

The best advice we can give you is to do a bit of research on the internet, celeb magazines or ask your local beautician. These sources can provide valuable information in what works and what doesn’t.
