Brown eyes are extremely versatile because all colors look good. However, I've noticed that light blue eyeshadow or eyeliner really makes brown eyes pop. The same goes for purple. Colored eyeliner in general looks great with brown eyes, especially with brighter colors. Also, I know orange is a bit of a tricky color for some people, but orange also looks really brilliant with brown eyes as it brings out the amber tones.
I have dark brown eyes and I face the same problems. Black eyeliner is always good and also greens and purples help bring out that brown but not alot of people know how to apply purple eye shadow so you have to be careful.
i have light brown eyes and i absolutely love how purple shadows look on my eyes. lots of purple, lots of glitter, eyeliner, and fake eyelashes. also white eyeliner to bring out your eyes and make them look better.
i really loved using the almay collection the one with pink in it really brought out my eye color especially in the summer time and i have light brown eyes too . also purple definatly makes the eys pop, and even articles always says blue eyeliners will bring out the eyes too and make the pupils look whiter.

Wear light colors they tend to pop out dark brown eyes
