23 eye makeup looks for brown eyes to try for yourself

Trying to find eye makeup looks for brown eyes worthy of a Van Morrison song? We’ve got you covered.

Fun fact: more than half of the world’s population have brown eyes, so if you want yours to stand out, you’ll need to get creative. Among the celebrity inspiration we’ve rounded up here, you’ll find bright colours, bold graphic shapes and thinking-outside-the-box eyeliner – all of which perfectly complement brown eyes. There are also some more low-key looks dotted throughout – so don’t worry if easy makeup looks are more your bag than ones that require half an hour and the help of a YouTube tutorial to master. Remember too that the category of brown eyes can span light hazel through to deep, almost black peepers, so what suits one brown-eyed girl might not suit another. Take the time to play around and experiment with different looks to find the right one for you.

So, get your mascara and eyeliner at the ready and start bookmarking these eyeshadow looks in preparation for a makeup shake-up…
