Take a very close look at your eyes and figure out what different color tones you see: the other colors that you see besides brown are the ones you’ll want to bring out |
with your eye makeup. I’ve got two videos here for you instead of a wall of text because it’s SO much easier to learn from watching a video of a professional makeup artist (the women in both videos are) demonstrate the proper procedure on someone while actually explaining what they’re doing at the same time.

If you’re a brunette with a cooler skin tone, your eyes will really be brought out by |
bright primary colors like royal blue, lime, and crimson red. You’re also one of very few women who can totally pull off bright yellow as a complete outfit–wearing yellow with lightly tanned skin will really cause your beautiful browns to stand out. Here’s the second video:
