Eye Shadow 101: How to Make Brown Eyes Look Bigger With Makeup

For an easy purple look, try our plum smoky eye tutorial. You could also smudge Tarte Smoldereyes Waterproof Liner in Fig ($22) across the whole lid — it's quick and quite sexy. (Reuters)

For green, the hunter hue of Sephora's MicroSmooth Baked Eyeshadow Trio in Green Flash ($19) wows as a lower lash liner with its soft sandy counterparts on the lid. (Reuters)

For bronze shades, we like the original Urban Decay Naked palette ($54) for its variety. Try using Half Baked on the entire lid up to the brow bone, then shading in the crease with Smog for a sexy but wearable style. (Associated Press)
