Brown eyes are beautiful in a unique way. Many people think that brown eyes are the least colorful of all possible eye colors. However, brown eyes can actually include many different colors, including flecks and undertones of gold, copper, orange, and even green. A great way to bring out the warmth and color of your brown eyes is through applying the right makeup. There are certain makeup colors and styles that complement brown eyes flawlessly and help enhance their natural beauty to make them stand out. Keep reading to discover how to rock makeup for brown eyes.

1. Embrace Your Choices

Brown-eyed girls by far have the most choices when it comes to makeup application. Because the color within brown eyes is so subtle, there are not many shades of makeup products that really clash with brown eyes.

If you have brown eyes, you can wear almost any color makeup. Both light and dark eyeshadow colors look great with brown eyes. Lighter eye makeup helps brighten up brown eyes and bring out the abundance of warmth in them. However, darker eye makeup also enhances brown eyes in its own way; it can help shape and define them for a more dramatic finish.

2. Discover Your Unique Brown

Brown eyes are actually a lot more complex than many people think. There are countless different shades of brown eyes, and the brown eyes you have might not mesh as well with certain makeup as another shade of brown eyes would. You should incorporate different makeup colors into your daily beauty routine depending on whether your brown eyes are a light brown, a medium brown, or a darker brown .

Light brown eyes are complemented best by light colors that are still warm, such as yellow. Pale or bright yellow eye makeup looks beautiful with light brown eyes, as it brings out the golden undertones in them. For medium brown eyes, bright colors work best. Some great bright colors to try out with medium brown eyes are green, which brings out the green undertones in brown eyes, and blue. If you have dark brown eyes that are almost black, you can try out darker eye makeup shades. Dark neutral colors, such as those found in smoky eye looks, complement dark brown eyes beautifully.

3. Try White Accents

White makeup accents can look incredibly beautiful when paired with brown eyes. White is an extremely bright and light color, so it helps brighten up brown eyes and bring out the lighter tones in them on days when you don’t want them to look as black or dark.

To take advantage of this little-known makeup trick for brown eyes, line your eyes with metallic white eyeliner to make your eyes appear larger and brighter. You can also apply sheer white pressed or loose eyeshadow powder to the area just underneath and above your eyebrows and within the inner corners of your eyes to lighten and brighten your eyes.

4. Don’t Skimp on Concealer

Everyone gets dark circles under their eyes sometimes, especially on days when you’re feeling tired or stressed. However, dark circles under your eyes can look more obvious if you have brown eyes. Fortunately, there is an easy way for brown-eyed girls to minimize the appearance of their dark under-eye circles.

Use a cream concealer and pat it liberally onto the area underneath your eyes. Never rub it into your skin to avoid smearing it off; pat it gently instead using your finger tip to achieve a more thorough application. Concentrate the concealer near the inner corners of your eyes for a brightening effect, but apply it down to the apples of your cheeks and toward your temples to brighten your brown eyes and help them stand out.

Set the concealer by dusting on translucent setting powder using a damp brush dipped in setting spray to prevent it from creasing and getting flaky throughout the day.

5. Use Bright Blue

Bright blue is an extremely difficult color for most people to pull off successfully. However, if you have brown eyes, you can easily rock bright blue eye makeup. Cobalt blue eye makeup will bring out the green and blue undertones in your brown eyes and brighten them up with a splash of stark color.

You can ease into this makeup color by using eyeliner in bright cobalt blue. A great eyeliner in this shade is the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Chaos ($20.00) which is a beautiful pearly cobalt blue color. If you want to go all out, try applying cobalt blue eyeshadow across your entire eyelid below the crease of your eye for a dramatic shock of color.

Brown eyes are beautiful all on their own. However, if you really want to make your eyes stand out and show their natural beauty off to the world, use the tips in this post to learn how to rock makeup for brown eyes flawlessly.
