Makeup and Eyeshadow For Hazel Eyes
The best thing about brown eyes is that they look good with pretty much every color! Creating that perfect shade can be tricky as if the highlighters are too dark, it will make brown eyes look merely black. Another thing to keep in mind is that very dark colors like black or dark grey will make brown eyes look much smaller. If you have dark brown eyes, try to avoid any very dark eye-shadow shades. Stick to lighter browns and golds to make your eyes look more enhanced. If you have medium/light brown eyes you should stick to colors of a green base.
1Dark and Light
With all eye colors, dark eye shadows will minimize the contour and appearance of your facial features. Meanwhile, lighter eye shadows will brighten and make your eyes look bigger. Another thing to keep in mind for those with brown eyes, is to keep the rest of your makeup rather neutral. Heavy makeup on the lips and cheeks for example, could create a very unnatural look, making the entire contour very harsh. Brown eyes are meant to be the focus of all features, so let deep eye shadows do all the real showcasing. Brown is never a solid shade, so keep in mind that the undertones of your hair could also make your eyes pop.
