The brown ones look they are truly unique. They have a natural warmth that can be beautifully brought out with the right fit makeup and the best? They match almost every shade, giving you countless options to play with. If you want to make them look more green or honey, there are specific colors and techniques that can give you what you’re looking for!

Shades of brown are true allies for brown eyes. An earthy, neutral brown – like espresso – gives a velvety glow to your lids, while adding light and depth to your look. As French makeup artist Violette Serrat explains, “these shades complement all skin tones and make the eyes look brighter and clearer.” In addition, they highlight the green or gold elements of your eyes, while giving a natural elegance that cannot go unnoticed.

If you want to experiment a little more, you can try shadows in a liquid texture. They are easy to use, do not require a primer and apply perfectly either with a brush or with the fingers. Copper or reddish shades are ideal because they can make your brown eyes appear more open and expressive. Use these shades for a more intense effect and make sure to complete the look with enough mascara, applying it from the roots of the eyelashes, to give extra intensity to the look.

Finally, she suggests “brown eyeshadows that will make your eyes look greener and clearer.”
