Color eyes shadows for brunettes with medium to light skin

I don't actually do color at all, just grays, browns, whites and beiges. However, I am watching Millionaire Matchmakers right now and one of the girls on the date with a millionaire is wearing some kind of color on her eyes. Can't tell what it is exactly, some kind of silvery grayish sea foam blue green (?), maybe... Her skin is darker than mine but she is is also a brunette with light brown eyes.

If those are your coloring, can you tell me which colors you usually wear on yoru eyes, if at all? I think I want to try something new! :)

Greens don't look good on me.
I have a fair, but warm skintone and dark brown eyes.
This is my foundation color, to give you a reference:



I like reddish/brown & goldish/orange colrs like:LORAC garnet (lower left in pallette), &Cover Girl Queen Sun City

i have brown hair and eyes and really light skin. i wear every color eye shadow under the sun (except yellow and orange which i don't have). i really love purple (any shade) on me. i also have different shades of pink, green and blue and of course all the basics. brown eyes go really well with a ton of different colors.

I am not very adventurous but purple is my favorite--it definitely does make my eyes pop. I typically do a deep purple shadow as liner, lighter and darker purples to make a smoky effect on the whole eye

Re: Color eyes shadows for brunettes with medium to light skin

I have dark hair, very fair skin, freckles and blue eyes.

I tend to wear lighter browns on my eyes, always with some shimmer, but I also love olive green and navy liner. Another favorite is Urban Decay 24/7 liner in 1999 - it's a plummy color and absolutely gorgeous!

I stay away from pinks and maroons, they make my eyes look red. Light purple colors work nicely too.

Purple, but like a deep rich purple. It makes my green eyes POP!

I am brunette with light skin, green/hazel eyes, wear tortoiseshell glasses all the time.
I love the way plums and purples look on me. Make my eyes really pop and complements my glasses.
Rich browns and warm beiges are ok too, sometimes use a bit of dark green on the lash line for some umph.
Never tried wearing a lighter seafoam green type color before..... might have to expand my palette.
