Are you tired of trying to spice up your brown eyes? Do you feel like you've tried everything, but nothing makes your eyes stand out? If so, you are in the right place. You can learn how to make your brown eyes stand out in a few simple steps.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Prepare the Face
Step 1. Put some concealer around your eyes
If you want your brown eyes to stand out, you will need to minimize dark circles around them so that people are focused on the right parts of the face. You should use a concealer at least one shade lighter than your skin, and most of all it must be specific for dark circles if you want to get even better results. Here's how to apply the concealer the right way:
- Remember to apply the concealer to the skin by dotting with your finger instead of rubbing it.
- Put a few drops of concealer on dark circles and use your finger to gently poke the skin until the makeup is even.
- Put a drop of concealer on the inner corner of the eyes. Tap it on your skin.
- Add concealer to your nose or cheeks to cover any imperfections.
- You can add a veil of concealer on the eyelids to act as a base for the eyeshadow.
Step 2. Spread a layer of primer on the face
When you've applied concealer around your eyes, you should apply foundation to hide facial imperfections and even out your skin tone. You can use a sponge or brush to spread it out. You won't have to apply it all over your face; instead focus on blemishes and spots that aren't even. If you apply the undercoat the right way, it will be easier for people to focus on your brown eyes.
- Check your hairline and jaw to make sure you haven't left a noticeable foundation line.
- If you want you can add a highlighter after applying the foundation. You won't have to put it all over your face, just apply it to the inner corner of your eyes, creating a fine line above the top eyelid.
Method 2 of 3: A Flattering Eye Makeup
Step 1. Wear the right eyeshadow
The brown of your eyes will go well with almost any other color, except brown or similar colors, but you can really make your eyes stand out if you try certain shades. Here are some color combinations that can make your eyes stand out:
- Create a smoky eye effect with gold. Instead of the traditional dark smoky eye, where your eye color can get lost, you should try a gold look, using light gold eyeshadow as a highlighter, darker gold on the lids, and dark brown around the eye.
- Choose a combination of purple. Put a medium shade of purple on the lids, the darkest shade along the lash line, and the lightest shade under the eyebrows.
- Create a bold look using plum, gold, green and blue. Mix these colors in any order and experiment until you find the style that's right for you.
- Try a cobalt eyeshadow if you have deep brown eyes.
- Use a neutral shade, such as taupe or bone, on the inner half of the lids and combine it with a layer of copper eyeshadow on the outer half.
Step 2. Choose the right eyeliner
Eyeliner can have a big impact on brown eyes. To apply eyeliner to the lower eyelid, simply stretch the skin under the eye with one hand and apply makeup with the other. You can also use eyeliner on the upper lid for a greater effect. Here are some colors to try:
- A dark emerald eyeliner will make your brown eyes stand out a lot.
- A dark purple, or even royal purple shade will suit you.
- Try using white eyeliner on your eyes. You will make them stand out a lot, but if it seems too extreme a look, choose a silver or champagne color that will allow you to achieve a similar effect.
Step 3. Choose the right mascara
To make your brown eyes stand out you should put mascara on both lids. You could also apply a little more mascara on the outer sides of the lashes to open up the eyes even more. Be careful not to apply too much or your lashes will clump, taking the attention away from your eyes. Here are some mascara colors to try with brown eyes:
- Use traditional black mascara instead of brown. Brown would get too confused with eye color. But if I'm hazel or light brown, brown might be fine.
- Apply a purplish shade of mascara, such as plum or eggplant. It will be a subtle difference from black mascara, but it will make your eyes stand out a lot.
Method 3 of 3: Choose Clothes and Accessories to Your Advantage
Step 1. Wear the right clothes
Your clothes can make brown eyes stand out or hide them. Choose clothes that make them stand out. Here are some things to wear.
- Wear the colors dark blue, reddish brown, eggplant, sepia or light brown. These shades will create a nice contrast with the color of your eyes.
- Emerald, purple, dark blue and gray will also give a warmer look to your eyes.
- Avoid colors that can hide the brown of your eyes, such as light blue, light pink, yellow, light green, or all light colors. Light brown and white are exceptions to this rule.
- Even if the other shades of brown blend in with the color of your eyes, wearing clothes of the same color will make your eyes stand out.
- If you have a hint of green in your eyes, wear green to make it stand out.
Step 2. Wear accessories that make your eyes stand out
Your accessories can help draw attention to brown eyes. Here are some things to try:
- Try wearing a scarf or hat that is the same color as your eyes.
- Wear gold necklaces or earrings to draw attention to your eyes.
- If you have light eyes with green or dark spots inside, wear a scarf or necklace of the same color as the spots, which makes them stand out.

Advice
- If you have dark brown eyes, avoid wearing too many dark colors, or your eyes will blend in with your clothes.
- Don't forget to get your eyebrows done. If they are bushy they will distract attention from your beautiful eyes.
- If your hair is the same shade of brown as your eyes, you can consider highlighting your hair so that it contrasts more with your eyes.
- To make your brown eyes stand out, wear coral, cinnamon, or bronze lipstick. A red lipstick with an orange background will also work. Just avoid brownish lipsticks, or your lips and eyes will blur too much.
- Pay attention to the shades of purple you choose: if you have very fair skin, the wrong palette will make you look tired.
