Hi i'm a Maxfactor consultant and you can definitely wear natural browns just make sure its smokey, you can also do this with greens like in Max factor there is a green called Angel Eyes its a green/grey which looks fab because it green but not too bright you just mix this with a light colour like Pale Pebble in Max factor and again it creates a really fashionable look. Being brown haired gives you also of lee-way so you can try quite a few colours as look as their toned down. Blue is the only really colour that you have to be careful of unless you can apply it really well. Hope this helps!

I think that maybelline has really good eye make up products that is not too expensive and you can find their products at drug stores (like Walgreen's, CVS, etc.) I would reccomend their eyeshadow quad set. For your feautures, definately shades with shimmery plums, purples, and violets would make your eyes POP! Here's the link to the Maybelline Eyeshadow Quad. http://maybelline.com/Product/Eye/Eyesha... Look at the colors under the section titled Blues?Violets. Avoid blue-er shades because that will look too unnatual and will draw attention for all the wrong reasons. Also if you scroll down you will see directions on how to put on these eyeshadows for best results. For liner, I would try Maybelline's Unstopable Eye Liner. http://maybelline.com/Product/Eye/EyeLin... Go for liners under the title Brown. For putting on eye liner, I like to draw a line on your top lid and put a few coats on the make it look really sharp and perfect. I draw lightly on the bottom lid and smudge with a Q-tip. Last thing you need is mascara. Maybelline has a new amazing mascara called The Colossal Volum' Express. http://maybelline.com/Product/Eye/Mascar... Usually I get my mascara from Clinque, but my friend told me to try this mascara so I went and bought it two days ago actually. I am in LOVE with this mascara! My eyelashes are very little and straight and usually I have to put coat after coat after coat of mascara on and my eyelashes look a little clumped. But this mascara only requires one coat- two at most. It's that good! And I didn't even have to curl my lashes! My lashes were super full and long and not even one clump, which is rare because my lashes tend to stick together with all other mascaras I've tried. This stuff is AMAZING! I'm sure it will be vedry popular soon, but it's new on the market at the moment.

Well I hope this helps and I really hope you try these products, you will not be let down I promise! Good luck!  =]

Answer 8

Since I myself have dark brown eyes and dark brown/black hair, I use lime green and pale pink shades when applying eyeshadow. You should buy Elizabeth Arden makeup or maybe Sephora, if you want to look very chic and high-fashion. For inexpensive but subtle and sweet looks, buy cheap makeup at a local drugstore (for example, CVS). Experiment with colors. I don't usually use blue when I apply makeup (although it's my favorite color) but purple and taupe and basically any neutral color accentuates brown eyes. Do anything that compliments your fair skin tone and don't simply cake on makeup, which ruins the effect of flawlessness. It will simply result in a fake, phony, bold, chalky appearance. Hope this helped!

Answer 10

if you want to do something different, try bright eye shadows, purples always look good. sometimes greens look nice if you do it the right way. maybe a little bronzer will help make your skin a little darker (if you want) just choose the right tone.
