Brown eyes may be the most common, but they have the advantage of being able to pull off any style and any color. How to make them pop? We'll tell you everything.  

Brown eyes have a natural depth that draws every gaze. If you're lucky enough to have them, you probably know that the right makeup can make them stand out even more.

Prepare the mobile eyelid

When it comes to eye makeup, the first crucial step is to create a perfect canvas so that the makeup can adhere ideally to the eyelid and allow the eyes to shine with all their brilliance.

Foundation to even everything out

Think of your face as an artistic canvas. You are the artist and foundation is like the first layer of paint that creates a flawless base. Choose a foundation suited to your complexion to ensure a natural harmony with the rest of your face. If you prefer light coverage, opt for a fluid foundation or a BB cream, and if you need more complete coverage, turn to a liquid or powder foundation. By applying foundation evenly over your entire face, you will achieve a smooth and even complexion. Don't forget to blend carefully towards the jawline and neck to avoid unsightly demarcation lines.

Apply an eyelid primer

Let's get down to business: the mobile eyelid. To prevent your eye makeup from fading throughout the day, using an eye primer is an essential step. This primer acts as a shield, providing an adhesive surface for eyeshadows while preventing them from sliding into the creases. Choose a light and transparent primer so as not to alter the colors of the eyeshadows you will apply later.

These preliminary steps ensure that your makeup will stay in place throughout the day, thus avoiding unexpected touch-ups. After all, a perfectly prepared canvas is the secret to an exceptional work of art, isn't it?

The ideal colors for brown eyes

Choosing the perfect shades is essential to enhance this unique color. Warm and earthy colors are the undeniable allies of hazel and brown eyes. Copper, brown, gold tones, and even dark green shades can create a captivating contrast that will bring out the depth of your eyes. These eyeshadow shades act as subtle reflections, capturing the light and intensifying the brilliance of your brown pupils.

If your day is looking rather casual, opt for pink or neutral shades (unless you like bold colors, then you can opt for solid blocks of neon yellow, fuchsia pink, or others). These soft shades add a subtle elegance to your gaze while maintaining a simplicity suitable for daytime makeup. Pink tones bring a touch of romance, while neutrals offer a natural effect, highlighting the beauty of your eyes without overdoing it.

1. Warm and Earthy Shades: copper, brown, gold

Warm and earthy shades are the right colors for brown eyes. Copper, brown, and gold act as vibrant notes that enhance the depth of the gaze. Opt for eyeshadows with metallic reflections for a luminous and captivating effect. Apply them with a flat brush to accentuate their intensity. 

2. Dark Green: a bold alternative

For a bold evening makeup, dark green eyeshadow creates a magnificent contrast and intensifies the natural shade of your brown eyes. Use it as a subtle touch for sophisticated makeup or as a full look for a bold evening appearance.

3. Pink Shades: subtle romance

For a soft daytime makeup, pink shades are your allies. Delicate shades like powder pink or dusty rose add a romantic touch to your gaze without overloading it. Apply the color with a blending brush to blend it all out. It's the ideal solution for a subtle and elegant effect.

4. Neutral tones: for a natural makeup

Neutral shades, such as beige, taupe, or light brown, offer a natural makeup that highlights your eyes without drawing all the spotlight. Use them for a daily makeup that remains subtle and refined.

5. Glitter: the magic touch

Don't hesitate to incorporate a little touch of glitter to add a bit of glamour to the look. Apply it sparingly to the center of the mobile eyelid to catch the light and accentuate the brilliance of your brown eyes.

Practical tips:

• Prepare your eyelid with an eye primer to ensure optimal color hold. Play with different color combinations to find the ones that best enhance your brown eyes.
• Adjust the intensity depending on the occasion: lighter for the day, bolder for the evening. Add a touch of colored, black, or blue mascara to the upper lashes to lengthen their appearance and to the lower lashes to intensify your already captivating gaze.
• On the lips, it will all depend on the color used on the eyelids, but don't hesitate to contrast with a complementary colored lipstick or a nice plumping gloss. 
• A black or colored eyeliner can frame the gaze to accentuate the depth effect provided by the chosen makeup.
