Don�t Forget Those Brows Eyebrows play a powerful role in accentuating and defining our eyes. They have the ability to make or break a look, so make sure that your brows are properly threaded or tweezed so that they look neat and tidy. Purchase a two-toned brow makeup kit and carefully apply the brow powder throughout your brows in order to fill in any sparse areas and to give your brows an overall fuller look.

Many people prefer brow powder as opposed to brow liner because it is softer and does not look as harsh, guaranteeing a subtle and well-blended look that is natural. Powders are also easier to correct if you make a mistake or over apply. You can also apply a brow liner prior to the powder, but make sure to choose a color that is one to two shades lighter than your current brow color. If you use a color that is the exact same shade as your hair color, it will darken once it makes contact with your skin, which will then make your brows look too dark and unnatural. If you experience difficulties trying to find an exact match, you may want to consider blending a lighter shade with a darker one in order to create the ultimate customized brow color.

Excellent, detailed advice that is good for MANY eye colors, not just brown! As for the brown-eyes-specific tips regarding color choices, there wasn't really any new information here.

I don't have brown eyes, but enjoyed this very much. I adore eye shadows. My favorite makeup item. With the exception of the bright yellow, I loved the looks. The yellow was costume like, not for actual wearing. Yuck!
