Handy Hint – Eye Shadow for Brown Eyes!

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

This tutorial shows you how you can enhance your brown eyes. To make your brown eyes pop, you dress them with colours that contrast with brown. These are always colours that lie on the opposite side if the colour wheel from brown. Have a read of our recent tutorial introducing the colour wheel. This tutorial will give you a bit of background on colour theory, and how this can be applied to your make up application.

Although the colours in this tutorial work especially well with brown eyes, they can in fact be used with any eye colour. The theory is around choosing colours which compliment other colours. You may be wearing brown, red or orange clothing, and want an eye shadow to contrast with these colours. Either way, colour theory works the same. Below are some suggestions of colours to contrast with your brown eyes (or brown/red/orange clothing). Enjoy!
