HOW TO CHOOSE EYE MAKEUP COLORS FOR BROWN EYES

owner simple beauty minerals swatch of eyeshadows for brown eyes

Got brown eyes? Let's choose your best eye makeup colors.

If you're a brown-eyed gal, you have got it all!

Brown is the universal eye color, and you can wear any shade of eye makeup.

But let's break it down even further to make sure you know what's best for you in terms of your skin tone AND your eye color.

 

For a natural look...

Overall, for a natural and harmonious look with brown eyes, you want to go with browns, peaches, coppers, golds and bronzes.

 

For the POP...

If you want your eyes to pop, you can use virtually any other shade -- blues, greens, purples, you name it.

 

Cool Skin Tone

If you have a cool skin tone, you're going to choose the cooler tone browns, the lighter, cooler tone as highlighting shades, and you're going to choose cooler purples and blues and greens. Everything is going to have a little bit coolness to it and a little bit more blueness to it.

Warm Skin Tone

With a warm skin tone, you're going to lean into peaches, golds, and coppers.  You're going to choose shades that have a little bit of a golden undertone.
