Makeup: brown eyes
Brown eyes are strong and beautiful! Rich, warm and neutral-hued, brown eyes make the perfect base for virtually any makeup. 👀 You can play up the richness of brown eyes with brown eye makeup, contrast it with pastel pink, complement it with purples, accent it with a flick of green or red, and more! Learn to play up your gorgeous brown eyes with the best makeup choices for eyes and lips. We’ve made it easy for you by outlining the best makeup for brown eyes below.
Blue eye makeup:
A fun color to use on brown eyes is blue! Yes, you can wear blue eyeshadow — try it out sometime. Go with a sheer wash of soft blue or with a fiercely strong bright blue eyeshadow. Blue eyeliners are great, too!
Green eye makeup:
Green eye makeup is a lesser-worn color but it is fantastic! Look at how amazing green looks next to brown eyes.
Pink eye makeup:
Pretty pinks are a perfect counterpoint to rich, warm brown eyes! Try either soft, light pinks or stronger, more vibrant hues — your eyes can handle it.
Purple eye makeup:
Purple eye makeup is lovely for brown-eyed gals. 💜 Purple is such a natural pairing to brown, give purple a try sometime!
Red eye makeup:
Red is unexpected on eyes which makes it a special, highly interesting makeup look. Have fun lining the eyes with red eyeliner, or wear a wash of reddish eyeshadow.
Yellow eye makeup:
Sunny yellow brings out the rich depth of brown eyes! Yellow eyeshadow may seem hard to wear but it is worth experimenting with for something different than all those regular neutrals.
Orange eye makeup:
Orange creates a tonal effect with brown eyes (since brown is really just a dark shade of orange)! This means orange can feel like a really easy choice to put against brown eyes.
Gold eye makeup:
Gold gives brown eyes some glimmer and shine! This metallic hue is a perfect choice for a special makeup look.
Copper eye makeup:
Copper glows with richness and it looks super pretty on brown eyes! 🤩 Copper eye makeup is a great way to achieve a sun-kissed bronze-y look.
Brown eye makeup:
Brown eyes can use more brown! Amp up the pretty brown of your eyes with brown eyeshadow or eyeliner. It’s a perfect neutral for anytime.
Nude eye makeup:
Nude beiges can be worn on brown eyes if you’re going for a natural, simple face. Let your gorgeous brown peepers stand out and keep the rest of the face looking bare and fresh.
White eye makeup:
White eyeliner or eyeshadow can really contrast brown eyes, making them pop! Try lining the top or bottom of the lashes with white liner, or put white shadow on the upper lids and inner corners.
Silver eye makeup:
Silver around brown eyes looks sparkling and special, which means it‘s great for an evening look!
Black eye makeup:
The darkness of brown eyes can be amplified and strengthened with black eye makeup! Try out different ways of using black on the eyes to see what you like best on you — a classic winged liner, all-around rimmed eyes, or how about bold and smokey?
Dark lipstick:
The strength of brown eyes means the ability to wear dark lipstick colors quite easily!
Red lipstick:

Magenta pink lipstick:
Strong magenta pink lipsticks are easy for you to pull off! Pink and brown is such a natural pairing.
Purple lipstick:
Purple lipstick shades are definitely wearable by brown-eyed girls! Keep the rest of your face rather neutral and let your purple lips do the talking.
