"The 6 Most Flattering Makeup Colors for Brown Eyes\\nSharing an eye color with half the world&amp;#39;s population doesn&amp;#39;t mean you&amp;#39;re destined to blend in with the crowd. Here, six makeup colors that make brown eyes seem like the rarest of them all.\\n\\\"Brown is a mix of all the primary colors, so there are a lot of options,\\\" says makeup artist [Emily Kate Warren.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/beauty-product-finder/experts/makeup-artist-emily-kate-warren) She recommends a vibrant blue shadow, like [Est\u00E9e Lauder Pure Color Gel\u00E9e Powder Eyeshadow in Fire Sapphire,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eye-shadow/2012/estee-lauder-eyeshadow-fire-sapphire) for rich, dark brown eyes. \\\"An electric shade like this really makes brown eyes pop\u2014I just love the contrast.\\\"\\nPurple shades best enhance brown eyes with hazel flecks, says Warren: \\\"The eyes already have a variety of tones, so you don't need a dramatic shade to create a striking contrast.\\\" We like [Mally Beauty Volumizing Accents Mascara](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/mally-volumizing-accents-mascara) because it not only flatters brown irises, it makes the whites of the eyes look *seriously* bright.\\nFor a pretty eye-makeup look that's neither drab or cuckoo-bananas, go green. \\\"And don't be afraid to try different finishes,\\\" advises Warren. \\\"Green tones come in a wide range of matte and metallic shades\u2014they'll all pick up any flecks in brown.\\\" Our favorite: [M.A.C. Eye Shadow in Sumptuous Olive.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/mac-eye-shadow-sumptuous-olive)\\nWarm up a neutral shadow shade, like bone or taupe, with a layer of copper shadow on the outer halves of your lids. \\\"It will highlight your eye color, and the shimmer will add a little texture,\\\" says Warren. Our pick: [Josie Maran Argan Eye Shadow in Cinnamon.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/josie-maran-eye-shadow)\\nDeep blue is the best bet for daytime, office-appropriate cat eyes\u2014it also animates brown eyes without looking severe (as black sometimes does). \\\"It creates a slight but eye-catching contrast,\\\" says Warren. We like [Elizabeth Arden Color Intrigue Eyeshadow in Indigo](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/elizabeth-arden-eye-shadow-indigo) and [Sonia Kashuk Eye Definer in Blue Jean.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/sonia-kashuk-eye-liner-blue-jean)\\nWarm metallics, simply put, make brown eyes glisten. \\\"They highlight even the slightest hint of gold undertones,\\\" says Warren. We like [L'Or\u00E9al Paris 24 HR Infallible Eye Shadow in Eternal Sunshine.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eye-shadow/2012/loreal-24-hr-infallible-eye-shadow-eternal-sunshine)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
