Purple



The top shade we recommend for brown eyes that complements all skin tones is purple. The bold pigment found in our Luna Magic Romance Mini Palette stands out on the lid because it's a stark contrast that brings out the brown color of your irises. The difference in the purple can also make the whites of your eyes appear brighter. Need some inspiration to experiment with the hue? Check out this video that shows how you can wear purple in your inner and outer corners to create a look that will truly bring out your eyes.

Navy & Gray



While navy and gray can sound dull for an eyeshadow, these tones actually complement brown eyes and are considered one of the best shadow colors for brown eyes. The contrast of a cool metallic shade, like the "Dinero'' shade in our Uno Shadow Palette, will intensify warm brown hues, especially when done for a smokey-eye look. It's also the perfect option for a softer shadow winged-eyeliner if you don't want a harsh black application. 

Gold



Make your brown eyes pop with gold, a winning combination. Whether swiped across the lid or in the inner corners of your eyes, a golden hue can enhance your eye area for brown-eyed amiga, especially when under the best or natural lighting.
