Absolutely purples and golds - each on their own, and best - combined.

Re: Brown Eyes Help
If I get stuck on what colours to compliment my eyes I always use a colour wheel:
Although I don't have brown eyes (I have green) you can see that opposite brown is purples and purples that are more on the blue side, hope that helps
Earthy red colours would be lovely too... pigments like heritage rouge, sweet chestnut eyeshadow etc

I have brown eyes too and definitley purples & golds but also try greens. Those are actually my favorite colors to use. Sumptious Olive is beautiful!

I was going to say the samer thing - green is gorgeous and its the only colour that I consistently get compliments using. Golden Olive is what I use preferentially with Green (frost) pigment, and these colours are always a good look for me. I usually pair them with a coral lippie like Ramblin Rose and Fleurry Blush, but the soft pinks, all the nudes, and even some of the dark reds can be worn with this as well and they work!
I like Blues as well, but with my dark brown eyes pale blues dont work for me - they look horrible in fact. Darker blues like Naval Blue, Blue Storm, Bell Bottom Blue, Meet The Fleet, etc etc are great though!! I usually go for soft pink blush and lips, or nude lips.
Purples are lovely - but again its the darker colours that work best for me. Deep Purple is a winner!!! So is Cassette from the Heatherette trio!! I do wear Circa Plum, Smudged Violet and Lovely lily equally as well though. Lightfall is the best highlighter in this colour spectrum that I have ever owned!!
Violet and Viz-a-Violet both made me look like a clown though and were subsequently dumped from my stash
Maroons and reds are the bomb for dark brown eyes!!! Try Maroon or Heritage Rouge, but Sweet Chestnut/Cranberry are just as nice!! I usually use a black as well with these colours, generally Dark Soul which actually goes on quite black over the Maroon, or Carbon. Nude lips or super pale pinks with these colours for me
Golds & yellows are good too - but for me never just in that range. I always use a black with these as well just like above!

Re: Brown Eyes Help
I have Dark Brown eyes and hair and I have NC30 skin. As mentioned above purples, greens and browns are my favorite colors to use and golds! Also I find that when I line my waterline with black eyeliner it makes the black ring around my eyes blend some so the brown really sticks out.

Re: Brown Eyes Help
Brown eyes can rock any color IMO. I have brown eyes, dark brown hair, NC30 skin and I like to use greens, blues, and purples to make my eyes pop.
Greens- Humid, swimming, Aquadisiac
Blues- Electric eel (LOVEEEE), Sea & sky
Purples- Nocturnelle, Beautiful iris, Parfait amour

Re: Brown Eyes Help
Brown eyes are special b/c most colors look good on them.
But the ones that stand out are far from earthy.
Blues/Teals
Greens/Emeralds
Purple/Lilac
Gold/Bronze
Silver/Taupe
are standouts for me.

The following colors seem to help me out from time to time:
Golds, muted teals, greens, purples & bronzed browns.
Good luck!

Re: Tips/Recs for making small eyes look bigger?
Well this may sound silly but I went to my little Asian Market and picked up these cool little things that go into your crease and make your lid a bit higher I LOVE them I have small eyes too and it helps a lot for me.
