Makeup for Dark Brown Eyes?

I have dark brown eyes and fair skin and dark brown hair. I feel really jealous of girl who have blue eyes. Don't get me wrong I love my brown eyes...but when it comes to makeup, having brown eyes is a real pain. Girls with blue eyes get to wear brown eye makeup so their eyes pop while still looking natural. But because I have brown eyes I can't wear brown eye makeup because it looks gross. Also I like wearing colorful eye makeup...but the idea of wearing it everyday seems tacky. HELP! How can I come up with a good neutral eyeshadow palette that will compliment my brown eyes without necessarily using brown eyeshadow? Or what MAC. Eyeshadows are good for a neutral look for dark brown eyes? Thanks!:)

Update:

My eyes are sooo dark that if they were any darker they would look black. The only black makeup I wear is mascara and eyeliner but even then I sometimes feel like my eyes look like two endless black holes.

    Brown eye shadow and smokey eyes do the trick! I know how you feel, I'd looove to have blue or green eyes, they're gorgeous! But flaunt what you got :)

    Brown and greens will make your eyes stand out, not too much black unless it's eyeliner and mascara!

    Good luck! Answer mine please? :)

    I have the same problem! If you have little flecks of lighter color in your eyes then you can bring those colors out with light bronzes or golds. And you CAN wear brown eyeshadow just make sure you pick a shade that has a light undertone or that is sheer. You can pull darker colors off as well

    Go on YouTube and look up "Make Up For Brown Eyes". You'll get tons of tutorials on it. I would say to use metallic colors - maybe a gold on the lid, bronze in the crease, and a red-toned brown in the outer corner. :)
