Beautiful brown skinned ladies, what eye colors make your dark brown eyes pop?

[maple_us]

I am an NC 43, dark brown eyes and hair. I have been trying hard to figure out eyeshadow colors that will make my eyes pop without much like. What do you beautiful ladies of specktra recommend.

 

[IvyTrini]

Personally I like navy blues and purples. Pair with either silvers or bronze/gold colours.
Great colours to try: Deep Truth, Satellite Dreams, Odd Couple. These colours don't have to be super dark or smoky, but they look great!!!

I have a skin colour just like my profile picture.

I agree, purples always go well with brown eyes.

I was going to say blues as well. I just discovered it this past weekend. I tried to create a smoky look with carbon and the NYX eye pencil in pots and pans and it turned into this dark blue on my lid. Wasn't exactly the look I was going for, but I got tons of compliments on it.

i like using burgundy-cranberry colors like them more than purples they really make my eyes pop. ( I'm an NC 40-42)

White e/s!

Sounds crazy but with the right crease color(s) white eyeshadow on the lid is HOT,to me anyway

 

[M.A.C. head.]

Everythang! LOL

Seriously.

But my favorites are purples [Top Hat, Parfait Amour, Smoke Signals], greens [Bitter, Humid,], golds [Amber Lights, Honey Lust, Woodwinked, Blonde's Gold], oranges [Orange, Coppering, Brash].

Definitely blues, navys, blue-greys, and most coll toned colours. Purples look great too and then maybe greens.

The Spiced Choc quad is AMAZING and taught me that those kinda colours look stunning too, esp the coppery/burgundy shades.

yes purples, I love stars and rockets or lavender sky with smoke signals or entrmauve- beautiful color in crease. I like phloof in tear duct area and lower lashline makes eyes soft and beautiful! Clear sky blue is divine. If you have beauty burst I love that as a crease color.

Agree with all the above. I'm NC50 and go for purples, greens, golds/coppers/bronzes, and blues when I want a standout look.

I agree with the burgundy side of purples...

I read in Rae Morris' makeup book that mahogany is the only color that is both a warm and a cool color, so I think that would look great no matter what type of brown eye you have (or any other eye color for that matter)

I also like dirty greens, blues/teals, and coppery colors. Or just a neutral brown shadow like texture or saddle on the lids and then kohl-rimmed lash line with blackest black. For me, my eyes pop.

I LOVE greens... I'm NC45... I usually wear neutrals during the week though.... today I used tete a tint on the lid, embark & brown script in the crease, and ricepaper as a highlight.

Ditto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[divineflygirl]

Violets, purples and greens..Bronze colors work well on me too. Coopering is lovely as well.

I've been using Team Violets from the Suite Array collection and the compliments just roll in. Everyone kept saying that the color made my brown eyes pop!

 

[nunu]

I'm nc43 and i think that we (and all WoC) can rock any colours. But my fave's are purples, blues, greens and golds.

You've just described my staple everyday look (when I have time in the morning to apply shadow).

I LOVE greens. For some reason I'm instantly drawn to them...especially olive greens, deep forest greens and emerald greens. I also love pinks, purples and taupe/browns/neutrals. I haven't been a fan of blues so much

 

[makeba]

i love deep blues, deep purples, golds and golden brown colors.
deep truth is my favorite blue
top hat is an awesome color
humid is beautiful and the only color green that doesnt make me look like a booger!!

 

[saj20052006]

Purples, Greens, Blues, Golds
