everything but red or orange.
Lightblue
What a gorgeous combination re: red hair and brown eyes.
Choose earth tones if you are a true redhead or have coppery or auburn red hair, and if you have dark or golden brown eyes and golden undertones to your skin. Look for coffee browns, moss and olive greens, rust oranges, dark tomato reds, golds and camels. Grays, navy’s, taupes, purples and pinks could make you look lifeless though.
Choose ivory, apricot, tans, beige, medium browns, violet blues and golden yellows if you have strawberry blonde or light auburn hair, golden brown eyes, and peach or golden undertones to your skin. Marine blue and warm grays will work well for you, but not black or wine which could look sallow.
i think warmer tones of colour will look better like cream, peach, bronze, gold & a greeny colour, the green will look really nice wiv ur eyes. stick wiv a sheer gloss coz ur pale & ur a redhead, pink my clash
I think blues like a navy would really look nice and will look great with your hair and eyes. For a lighter colour, a light purple with a darker colour eyeliner would also really stand out. Generally cooler colours against warmer tones in your hair and eyes will compliment nicely.

SMOKY EYES:
you cant go wrong with dark matted colours. the smokey eye look is great and so easy to achieve when you know how.
youll need: eye primer (you dont NEED it but its best for keeping your eyeshaddow put), two shaddows (one light, one dark), eyeliner, eyeshaddow brush and mascara.
firstly youll need to prep the lid, this is the key to keeping your eyeshaddow put all day long. this will also stop your shaddow melting into your eyelid crease after a few hours. to do this, start wil an eyeshaddow base/primer. try MAC’s prep and prime eye or fresh freshface perfecting eye primer.
then youll need to apply eyeliner. if your going for a typical black, brown or grey smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colours above your lash line, making the line thicker in the middle of the eye. if you want to go for something a little different ie a jewel-toned colour, then violet makes a gorgeous smoky eye, so line the eyes with a purple, blue, or deep green liner. again, mac make great eyeliners but i also like ones by tigi, maybelline and loreal, so experiment untill you find something you like using.
then blend in the colour on the bottom of your lashes. for colour on the bottom (a key smoky eye look) youll need a lighter eyeliner. the key is to smudge it slightly. you can also apply a bit of shaddow to get a full smudge effect. personally, i find rimmel eyeshaddows great and theyre reasonably priced too!
next, apply a light base colour. again, the key to the smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with a darker hue. i prefer nice cream shades for my base which are very readily available. sweep a light, shimmery shaddow over your lids to your brow bone. try stilla’s whipped eye shaddows. they are of a kind of mousse consistency and really do seem to stay on forever. taupe and pearl are must-have colours.
now blend in the darker colour, but keep the colour below the crease or youll risk looking like you have two black eyes. now that you have the base and eyeliner on, its time to get the smokey effect. you need a darker shade of eyeshaddow for this. using an eyeshaddow brush, blend in colour starting at your lash line and blending up. make sure to blend colour into the lash line so the eyeliner dissapears. stop the deep colour at the crease. then just double check your work to check that your eyes match and you can even blend the colour with a cotton bud if you want.
almost done. finish with several coats of volumising mascara like dior’s show mascara or loreal paris volume shocking mascara.
…one more thing, remember to keep your lips to a nude colour otherwise you may end up looking a bit like a drag queen lol.
PRETTY EYES:
pretty, springtime eyes can be created using some of the new pastel, frosted eyeshaddow colours. try some of the new offbeat colours like pink or yellow. use them to line all the way around your eyes.
again, firstly youll need to prep the lid, this is the key to keeping your eyeshaddow put all day long. this will also stop your shaddow melting into your eyelid crease after a few hours. to do this, start wil an eyeshaddow base/primer. try MAC’s prep and prime eye or fresh freshface perfecting eye primer. then the rest is simple, just apply your colour, if you want two seperate colours then remember to blend, blend, blend. finish off with some brown or black mascara and there you have it, another great look.
this look is great for eyes that are close set, use lighter coloured eyeshaddow on the inner portion of the lid towards the nose and darker eyeshaddow on the outer edge of the lid. (reverse technique should be used to apply eyeshaddow for widely spaced eyes).
NEUTRAL COLOURS:
the best make-up colours for brown eyes are actually neutrals. try colours in the brown family like taupes and peaches. l’oreal do some lovely neautral shades. try to somewhat coordinate your look. i dont mean your shaddow should be beige, your blush should be beige, and your lipstick should be beige. i dont mean a monotone colour, just a coordinated one.
apply primer as described previously. apply eyeliner under the eyes (above eyelashes) and a thin line above the eyes close to the eyelashes. grab your eyeshadow brush that is thinnest and dab it in the eyeshadow. raise your eyebrows, find the crease of your upper eyelid (where you might feel the bone for the top of your eye socket), and then take the brush and line it with the eyeshadow. do it as if you’re holding a pencil and you’re using it to draw on your eyes. do this to make a half circle above your eyes. (don’t go too far out to the side of your face when doing this step).
to do the bottom part of the eyeshadow, take out your thin brushed eyeshadow brush again and dab it in your black eyeshadow. (tap it on the rim to get rid of excess eyeshadow that could fall off the brush and leave unattractive black spots of eyeshadow under your eyes or on your cheeks!) with one easy motion, start by putting the brush under your bottom lashes and sweeping it from side to side in a straight motion to create the point under the eye on both sides.
touch up by making sure no excess eyeshadow fell onto unwanted places on your face and adding a little concealer to seal the deal. and you’re done!
COORDINATE YOUR COLOURS:
if you are wearing shaddows from the brown family, try a peach blush. if you are wearing a more colourful shaddow like violet or blue, use a berry or rose coloured blush. keep like colours together: muted with muted. bright with bright.
make-up for brown eyes really has no rules. when selecting an eyeliner, you can go with dark browns for a natural look and black for a more intense look. you can frame your eyes with tons of mascara and not end up looking all panda eyed. play it up and emphasize it all you want.
hope this helps
