    Smokey eye would really compliment your eye ... Here are instructions ...

    Prep the lid. The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free. To do this start with an eyeshadow base (also called "primer"). I prefer to dab at bit of MAC's 'paint' on lids before shadow application. Or try Fresh Freshface Perfecting Eye Primer.

    Apply eyeliner. If you're going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye. If your opting for a jewel-toned eye (violet makes a gorgeous smoky eye), line eyes with a purple, blue or deep green liner.

    Blend in color on bottom lashes For color on the bottom (a key smoky eye look) you'll want a lighter eyeliner. The key is to "smudge it." You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.

    Apply light base color Again, the key to a smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. I prefer a nice cream shade for my base. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone. I love Stila's whipped eye shadows $20. The moist "mousse" consistency seems to stay on forever. My favorite colors are taupe and pearl.

    Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base and eyeliner on, it's time to get the smoky effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line, blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease.

    Doublecheck your work Make sure eyes match and blend color with a Q-tip if need be.

    Finish with several coats of volumizing mascara. Tried and true mascaras (featured in "Elle" magazine's March 2006 issue) include DiorShow Mascara & L'Oreal Paris Volume Shocking Mascara. Elle's writer says they are the best volumizers she's tried.

    Hope I Helped :)

    Sorry It Was So Long :)

    Good Luck XD

    Purples incredibly lead them to stand out suitable! So do golds. I in many situations use the eyeshadow from Sonia Kashuk's "Breathtaking Brunette" palette...you may get it at objective. it is like a golden, coppery brown...brings out the gold in my eyes and makes them look gorrrggg.

    I also have dark brown eyes and I love to use shiny purples and pinks. You can also use ANY color gold or tan!

    purples and golds, tend to bring out that chocolate color in brown eyes, you can even try doing an apple green and a brown liquid eyeliner to give of that nice winter look. :]

    I like to use purples, golds, greens, silvers, blues, pretty much anything will work...

    But I think purples tend too look the best with dark brown eyes..
