my eye colour is sorta like yours. It looks yellow or golden with brown flecks in most lights. In reality and from close, it's like an olive-y colour, here's a pic:
I find that browns are actually the worst colours for me. They do absolutely nothing for my eye colour but hide the golden flecks. I favour colours like navy blue, green, gold, peach and purple. Pretty much any colour that makes hazel eyes pop. HTH

Pink will really bring out the golden color in your eyes.

I'm not sure about your skin and hair color but one suggestion is a shimmery navy blue. I know that doesn't really seem like an everyday color and for some people it's not, but with such an unusual eye color you could pull it off or even use blue as a crease color with a more subtle lid color. I have green eyes with a touch of gold around the iris and nothing brings out that gold more than navy blue.
I would also think that maybe some greens and purples would work too. I was thinking maybe a shimmery lighter green like maybe a sage green or even Humid by MAC. I would suggest maybe trying one of the mineral makeup companies that do samples like TheSheSpace and getting some samples to try out some different stuff without spending a bunch of money. That way, you can play around with some stuff, find what you like and then find something more "permanent" to buy. HTH!!

I have that eye color too...almost hazel, but more a light caramel/yellow brown.
Purples REALLY make my eye color pop...every single time I wear purple e/s I get compliments.
Blues, teals and bronzy colors also "pop". Gotta say pink does nothing for me though.
