Eyeshadow is one of the more mystical things in makeup — you know there are people who are good at it, but you’re not exactly sure why or how. When done right it can take your makeup look to the next level, and while technique is important (it’s all about blending!) — the color choice is just as important. If you have brown eyes, you’re in luck: It’s the most versatile color of the bunch, meaning you can pull off just about any eyeshadow color. You can go dark with matte navy or keep it neutral with soft pinks — the choice is yours.
