Brown eyes are the most versatile eye color, making almost any look (or color) acceptable. Since brown eyes contain hints of orange and red, bright blues such as this one are one of the

many go-to choices to make the eyes really stand out. Pro tip: Add some blue shadow or liner to the bottom lash line for an added effect to make the eyes really pop.

glitter eyeshadow to the middle of the lower lash line.

Grey eyes may be one of the rarest eye colors, but that doesn't mean the makeup looks are any less plentiful. Grey eyes typically contain a varietal of grey, blue, green
