Q&A for How to Make Brown Eyes Stand Out

Try sweeping soft, warm neutral brown tones in the crease of your eyes, then press a shimmering green, bronze, or golden tone across your lids for a sexy, sultry look.

Dark, cool shades like dark purple and midnight blue are stunning against brown eyes. Green eyeliner can also be very flattering.

Warm, dark clothing colors like burgundy, chocolate, and sienna bring out the warmth in brown eyes. You can also emphasize their color with soft contrast using colors like gray, taupe, and even white.

Eye color will sometimes lighten over time as people age, but it's not something you should try to do intentionally. Colored contacts are a safe and fun way to experience different eye colors if you want a change.

While you can't change your eye colour, you can totally enhance them with blues, pale greens, taupes, and purples.

Try a bright colored eyeliner or eyeshadow (around waterline too).

I have brown eyes as well. If you want your brown eyes to pop, it helps to have lighter hair, such as blonde or ginger. But you don't have to dye your hair in order to make them pop. You can wear light eye shadow, such as gold, silver, teal, nude, etc., with dark eyeliner. Also, if you put white eyeliner on your lower water line, your eyes will look larger.

No, salt water doesn't change eye color.

It can, but try to stay away from the teal shades. A true royal blue is what you should be looking for.

Consult an eye doctor about wearing blue contacts.

Find a good pink lipstick or lipgloss you like.

Mascara and eyeliner can help a lot, and a combination of the three makes brown eyes appear big and bright. If you can handle wearing contacts, adding different colored lenses can also help.

It's just because of the way the light is hitting your eyes that they appear different from close up and far away. You cannot really make them look lighter unless you get contacts or wear SUPER DARK eye makeup (not recommended).

If you gently pull your under-eye downward, you will see a pinkish line under your eye that looks quite shiny or watery. This is your waterline.

To make your brown eye color pop, wear purple or teal, as these are contrasting colors to brown. Silvers and blues can look beautiful too. You can also try out a brown eyeliner on your waterline to darken the appearance of your eye color.

Purple and blue are great colors for making your brown eyes stand out more. Go for a dark purple or dark blue eyeliner. Use the eyeliner with a little mascara for a subtle look or add eye shadow in gold for a more bold look. Eyeliners in metallic shades like gold or bronze will build a great contrast against the darkness of your eye color, and will make it pop.
