Brown-Eyed Girl...You lucky doe-eyed ladies can wear almost any color you like. From purples to bronzes, to greens, to blues - the world is your oyster! Try making your brown eyes look lighter by using green eyeliner. Using Emerald Mystikol Powdered Eyeliner, draw a line on your top lash line, smudge using Forest PurePressed Eye Shadow. Finish your look with a healthy coating of PureLash Lash Extender & Conditioner and Longest Lash Thickening and Lengthening Mascara and your eyes will be ready to sparkle. If green is not your color, try pairing your brown eyes with Sapphire Mystikol Powdered Eyeliner. This bright blue eyeliner will make your chocolaty eyes pop. Smudge using Blue Hour PurePressed Eye Shadow for an extra shot of blue.
