Stunning Makeup Looks to Complement Brown Eyes

The brown-eyed lady with statement eyebrows doesn’t need a smokey eye, as demonstrated here by @rexadams_. Black liner around the entire eye is offset with brown and plum-toned shadow.

You can create tons of contrast for those brown eyes by layering blue shadows on the upper and lower lids. Here, @nmstylefolder anchors the blue tones with a black liner on the inner lid, all the way around the eye. The lighter, baby blue shadow at the inner corner brightens the look and makes the eye look bigger.

You don’t always need liner below the eye, as shown here by @lizzlookz. Recreate this look by pairing your favorite gold shadow with a jet black, liquid liner. Then add in a swipe of mocha at the crease, plus silvery shimmer at the inside corner and brown bone.

Here, @whitneysiudzinksi steps into the cool color palette with her cat-eyed style. The meticulous application of that jet-black liner creates a perfect backdrop for the lavender and teal shades on her upper and lower lids.

A deep brown eye color is set off nicely with a plum shadow, teamed with gold and black. Here, @ingrid_makeupartist lines the entire eye with black before adding in the statement plum and shimmery gold on the lower and upper lids. A dash of pink at the inner corner adds brightness and a soft neutral at and above the crease adds depth.

Even if you don’t care for bright colors and shimmer, you can still make an impact, as @danielle_bellas does here. Her look features a dark liner all the way around the inner lid, surrounded by a smokey shade of almond. Finish with mascara and your favorite sexy hairdo.

Which look do you love for your brown eyes?
