How to Enhance Brown Eyes
You are wondering how to enhance your brown eyes and really make them stand out?
In our step-by-step tutorial, we’ll show you which eyeshadow shades flatter brown eyes the most and which techniques help you create bold, expressive looks.


Step by Step

Prime your eyelids
To ensure your eye makeup lasts all day without creasing, start by applying a primer to your lids. Use a makeup brush to distribute the product evenly across your entire movable eyelid.

Apply eyeshadow
To add more depth to your eye, apply a blue eyeshadow using an eyeshadow brush. Focus on the outer third of your eyelid and along the lower lash line.
PRO TIP
Complementary tones like blue give brown eyes an incredibly vibrant glow.
Plus, this look works for all eye shapes and sizes.

Intensify your eyeshadow
For a bolder look, apply a darker eyeshadow directly along your upper lash line. Use a precision eyeshadow brush to apply the color, then blend it upwards into the crease to create a smooth gradient toward the brow bone.

Add highlights
Apply a shimmery light pink eyeshadow to the inner corner of your eye. This creates a more open and awake look. Use a fine brush and blend the highlight softly toward the center of the lid.

Apply eyeliner
To make your brown eyes stand out even more, apply a blue eyeliner to your lower waterline. Choose a shade that complements your dark eyeshadow for a harmonious finish. This step adds a striking accent and enhances your entire makeup look.

Mascara time
Brown eyes pair beautifully with classic black or brown mascara. Finish your look by applying Twist for Volume Mascara to your upper and lower lashes, ensuring even application to maximize both length and volume.
