You're doing your eye-makeup wrong.

Look, I love a classic smokey eye or a metallic gold shadow fleshed across the lid. But let's be real: everyone does that.

Opting for neutral eyeshadow looks are always a safe bet, but they often don't do any favors for those of us with dark brown eyes. I mean, so dark of a brown that they nearly appear to be black.

Nonetheless, dark eyes are underappreciated, and there are so many ways you can spice up your eye-makeup to help accentuate them! If you're feeling creative, try these makeup looks for brown eyes that are sure to make others stare.
