Even if prom is a month or two away, you should already be thinking about how you want your makeup done. If you figure it out in advance, you can practice the look so that you know you like it – and if you don’t, you have plenty of time to pick a new look that you actually love.
While you can of course wear whatever color you want, you might want to consider specific eye makeup for the color of your eyes. If you have brown eyes, there are certain colors that can really make your eyes pop. The best shades for brown eyes are copper, greenish-gold, gold, navy, and cobalt. Navy and cobalt make a striking contrast to brown eyes that ends up looking awesome. Cooper, gold, and greenish-gold will all play up any hint of gold in your brown eyes, making them stand out even more.
But picking an eye shadow look out of these colors is still really difficult. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, here are 12 easy prom makeup ideas for brown eyes. Bring in the picture if you’re getting your makeup done, or use the tutorials some of these have to do them yourself. Oh, and by the way: these are perfect for prom, but really work for any event!
