10 Complimenting Eyeshadow For Brown Eyes

For you brown eye babes out there, I wanted to share some tips on what eyeshadow colors look best on you.  To be honest, since brown is a neutral color, almost any color will make them pop.  The trick is finding which colors look best with your hair and skin color as well.  Generally, teals and purples look best on brown eyes but as you can see below, the other colors can work too.

Purple eyeshadow:

Purple is the most universally flattering eyeshadow color to wear (other than neutrals) because it goes well with any hair, eye, or skin color.  Purple is especially great for brown eye babes as it is a contrasting color on the color wheel, so it makes the eyes pop!  I find the best purples are blueish tinted ones as it contrasts the warmth of the brown.

Blue eyeshadow

Blue eyeshadow can be tricky to pull off (hello 80’s!), but if you wear a royal blue along the lashline, it looks amazing on blue eyes.  The coolness of the blue contrasts the warm brown, while also making the whites of your eyes appear brighter.

Yellow and Orange eyeshadow

If you have hazel eyes instead of dark brown, wearing gold eyeshadow can bring out the yellow tint in your eyes.  For this fact, gold isn’t my favorite color to wear, but it can still look nice if I pair it with a dark purple or navy blue.  The best golds for brown eyes are more bronze tinted or even copper.
