Before moving on to make-up tricks, it might be useful to know that there are colored lenses available which can transform the color of your eyes completely.

It is the fastest way to transform eyes to a blue, green, hazel, or even violet color, and they are great for costumes or for trying on different looks.
If you do not want to wear contact lenses, read on for some beauty tricks to lighten your eyes naturally, for example, darkening your hair. Black or dark brown create a visual effect that give the illusion of lighter eyes. The darker your hair, the lighter your iris will appear. Avoid streaks and highlights.
As for make-up, try dark eye shadow to make your brown eyes look somewhat lighter. When applying eye makeup, it is important to play with color shades to find the the best combination and thus achieve the desired effect.
Try midnight blue, smoky black or plum tones. Any dark shadow will make your eyes look lighter.
With regards to eyeliner,we suggest using black and lining both the lid and the bottom of the eye. A smoked or blurred line effect will help to soften your eyes and make them appear lighter in color. We do not advise drawing a thick line because your eyes will look smaller and the color will not appear any lighter.
Furthermore, the darker your skin, the lighter your eyes will look. To achieve this, you can enhance your own tan skin, or, if you're pale, apply fake tan or wear slightly darker foundation and bronzer. This clever little makeup trick will enhance your eyes. Try it to see for yourself!
