Who ever said brown eyes aren't beautiful?

Hi every one! :) Hope all is well. I often hear ladies say they wish they didn't have "boring brown eyes." Even in middle and high school my friends that had them would complain. So I grew up thinking brown eyes (and skin, but we're discussing eyes here, lol) were a bad thing. Even now I hear stuff like, "Oh I can't wear that eye shadow because It doesn't look good with my brown eyes," or, "I like her eye shadow, wish I had blue eyes too so I could wear it." I beg to differ! I believe brown eyes are sexy and can wear anything! There are so many us brown eyed girls can rock and but just don't know it! Yet, haha. I want to share some eye shadows that I love and I think you will too. Hope this will be helpful for those of you who wonder which will work for you but aren't quite sure. I'll be making lots of different posts listing the colors and brands.Today's post is called, "Smokes for browns."
