I didn't actually start beauty blogging until 2014 when i created . Back then Makeup Geek was only in the process of creating samples ( some i actually still have today ) but MAC was the company that had the monopoly on the 'build your own palette' game. I started adding MAC eyeshadows to my collection four years ago when i first started lifestyle blogging.

I have found the best shades that flatter my dark brown eyes and my light-medium warm skin tone ( besides neutral browns and creams ) are Bronzes, Purples, Silvers and Blues, especially deep royal blue or Teals. Then brighter shades like teals, blues, purples, and pinks to really make our eyes pop.

For brown-eyed girls the most flattering colours are neutral shades like chocolate browns, bronzes, coppers, and taupes. I have a lot of red undertone in my very dark brown eyes, so i tend to want to balance that out. I have a warm under-tone and warm and neutral eyeshadows seem to suit me the best. Obviously bringing your skin-tone into consideration helps us determine whether you should lean towards more warm or cool toned shades.

Us ladies with brown eyes are pretty lucky that we can wear most colours. I have put three of my most worn everyday quads into this post in the hope that it might help or inspire anyone else with brown eyes. Having experimental playtime, along with researching which shades suit your eye colour the best can really help you to decide which eyeshadows should be incorporated into your MAC palette. This is where i think it is important to really experiment with a cheaper palette first to see which colours not only look the most flattering on you, but are also shades you would feel confident wearing. Most of us make the mistake of buying every colour of the rainbow, but not every eyeshadow colour is going to suit us or will be used. You need to decide if you are more of a neutral, cool-toned, or colourful eyeshadow kind of person. I'm very much a neutral eyeshadow lover but i do have a few pops of colour in my mac eyeshadow collection, in case i'm feeling a bit more daring. As mentioned briefly i feel the best way to start off making a MAC eyeshadow palette is to begin with a small quad, which is currently the the second from smallest palette that MAC does. Mac is a cosmetics company that sells pan version eyeshadows and they also have their own palettes.
