Final Touches The final part of the look is mascara. First, curl your lashes with a good quality eye curler, then coat your lashes with a waterproof mascara. Wait a few minutes before applying a second coat for added definition and length. For longer lasting mascara, you may want to consider applying a clear gel mascara first, which will thicken the lashes and make them appear fuller.

For a more natural look, go for brown mascara. For a more dramatic evening look, try either black or navy blue mascara. Another special tip is to lightly dip a powder puff into translucent powder and gently press around the eyelid area. This will help seal in your eyeliner and prevent it from running. (Note: do this prior to applying mascara so as not to smudge). Be sure to follow these effortless and easy to follow eye makeup tips for brown eyes that will stun everyone, including your self.

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!
