To make brown eyes pop ?

[x music is love]

I'm looking for some shadows to make my eyes stand out. I have dark brown almond shaped eyes and i wear an NC42. I usually use neutrals so I'm used to using alot of browns but i really need some more colors. Any recs?

purples....parfait amour - nocturnelle - creme de violet

purples or greens - sprout, humid, juxt.

I think Trax makes brown eyes really bright. Plus it's just a step away from brown, at least on me, so it works well as a work safe look.

Greens or bright blues! if you do a really crazy bright blue lid, like electric eel, it almost makes brown eyes look orangey. it's cool! Greens look really awesome on brown eyes, too.

I have very dark brown eyes and I've been told most anything vibrant makes them pop out! So Greens, Blues and Purples look awesome!! Some of my favorites are:
Humid
Au Contraire
Steamy
Aquadisiac

just to name a few!

Steamy makes my eyes pop. Lining with Shade fluidline also works.

Purples, Greens or Blues

Definitely try colored liner. Green (Velvet Moss e/s is a favorite, Shade f/l), purple (Non-conformist f/l), or blue (Deep Truth e/s).

brown eyes here also...i love humid, juxt, swimming ( i love greens )

[LatinaRose]

Brown eyes here as well and I love purples, blues, and greens.

blues - deep truth, electric eel, clear sky blue pigment (love this! it's the perfect Tiffany blue)

purples - parfait amour, french violet and violet pigment. I really wish mac would come out with a more intense purple. Using the purple paint underneath helps.

greens - humid for an intense look, greensmoke for a more neutral look. also love the green piggies - teal, emerald green, landscape green, and forest green.

Also, for a hot, smokey, sort of Egyptian-kinda look, I like to use Nars Nightclubbing e/s (black w/ gold flecks) with amber lights. Gorgeous on brown eyes!!

I have brown eyes and I'm NC43 so we're pretty darn close! The standouts are greens, purples, blues and golds for me.

purples! - of any kind! i swear purples were made for brown eyes. greens are nice, too.

[MeganGMcD]

My eyes are very dark brown, and a wash of light blue and a whole lot of mascara make them look almost black, very pretty a doe-eyed!

Green is beautiful too, so is lilac. I have been sporting a green lid with a purple liner.

While you would have to kill me to take my benefit bad-gal liner, I find colored liners, especially vivid colors are so nice.

blues and greens make my eyes pop, but it has to be bright blues...i also love purples too.

[kimmy]

shimmermoss. oh damn, that stuff makes brown eyes stand out so seriously.

[REYNALD0C]

[x music is love]

[scrapbookromance]

greens, purples, and blues always make my brown eyes pop, and I'm NC37

If you're familiar with Stila eyeshadows, I like icon as a base and to highlight and then pigalle on top of the lid, it is a great combo, it's like a golden and red combo, I love it!
