My hair is dark brown and I've always had a hard time finding the right shade of eye shadow that looks right with my dark hair. Any tips for natural looking eye makeup that helps lighten my eyes and compliments my darker hair?

I've found that light, neutral eye makeup looks good with dark hair and eyes. I've also gone with natural looks with hints of lavender or green tones.Using a shimmery light coloredeyeliner in the inner corners (tearducts) and lining your waterline with white eyeliner can make your eyes appear larger. Using navy blue eyeliner instead of black can also make the whites of your eyes appear whiter and therefor brighter.
Hope I could help ღ
