Instead, opt for delicate metallics and dusty pinks to intensify the flecks and make light brown eyes sparkle. If you have light brown eyes, avoid heavy, smokey shadows, which can hide the subtle hints of green and gold in your eyes. The super-malleable formula glides on smoothly for a flawless, precise application, and then sets in place for all-day wear. Experiment by pairing neutral shadow with metallic eyeliner in copper or bronze such as the Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner in Brown(Out) US $25 AED/SAR 91, which is a soft bronze with a subtle shimmer.

As a rule of thumb, jewel tones work best to enhance brown eyes because they have the same depth and richness,” she adds. “On the color wheel, the most complementary color for each hue is located directly across from the targeted color. Suchma recommends considering color theory when determining which natural eye makeup colors enhance brown eyes.

“The most common underlying hues are garnet/red (usually for deeper brown eyes), amber/orange (usually for medium depth of brown), and golden/yellow (usually for a lighter brown eye). Most shades of brown eyes have a beautiful, underlying color that’s revealed in certain lighting, according to Sephora makeup artist Amy Suchma. However, the determining factor is the depth of one’s eye color-is it almost black or is it medium brown? Brown is a mix of primary colors, meaning that just about any natural eye makeup color will pair well with brown eyes. There are many choices when it comes to creating the perfect natural eye makeup look for brown-eyed women.
