Personal Color Analysis - Eye Shadow for Brown Eyes


Personal Color Analysis - Eye Shadow for Brown Eyes


By Jan Hawken




While the application style in which you apply your eye makeup will play a significant role in your finished image, if you select a good eye shadow color for your brown eyes, you'll be well on your way to looking beautiful. It would be wise to have a personal color analysis done to identify your most flattering colors to select from.

The general rule for selecting a good eye shadow color for brown eyes is to choose a color that is the opposite color of the eye color, or it's complement. Brown eyes have a little more leeway in compatible color selection than do green or blue eyes.

Blue The color brown is simply a dark version of orange. Directly across the color wheel from orange or brown, you'll find blue. So blue is the complement, or opposite color, of brown. Brown-eyed women wear blue better than do women with any other color eyes. The application should be light for best results. Try aqua blue and baby blues. To be sure to select one of your best shades of blue, consult your personal color analysis palette.

Green Green eye shadow can look lovely with brown eyes, especially if the eyes are more hazel than brown. Hazel eyes have a mixture of color, often greens, golden brown, brown and gray. The duller green eye shadows look best for everyday wear. You will find a good selection of olive, khaki or forest green available for purchase. Apply the color lightly for best results.

Brown Shades of brown can be an excellent choice. Brown-eyed women can always wear brown eye shadow. A flat, or matte, brown will tend to make brown eyes look a little sunken. You do not want this effect. It's better to select a brown with some shimmer, and then apply some crème-colored highlight. Gold makes a lovely highlight for brown eyes as well. The shade of brown you select needs to be in a lighter, or darker, value from your skin. At the same value, it would simply blend in with the skin color, and have little, or no effect at all.
