Darlings, choosing a brown eyeliner for brown eyes is a no-brainer. Matching your eyeliner colour with your eyes is a wonderful way to complete your brown-eyed look, keeping it neutral, natural and cohesive while helping to enhance the natural sparkle of your eyes. Brown eyeliner is so easy to wear, darlings… It’s one of those products that I need to have in my makeup bag at all times! Flicking my Rock N Kohl kajal eyeliner in Barbarella Brown along the lash line creates an effortless, soft glam eyeliner look that coordinates with and complements brown eyes. Just smudge it out with the brush tip for a more smokey, sultry effect.
Want to transform into a bronze bombshell? Bronze eyeliner is a perfect match for brown eyes, darlings… The metallic, golden-bronze hues are close in tone to the natural brown colouration of brown eyes, so the shimmering pigments instantly enhance your golden-brown eye colour sparkle. My Rock N Kohl kajal eyeliner in Smokey Bronze is a flawless match for brown eyes. It’s perfect for giving your eye makeup a sultry, smoked-out finish and looks sensational smudged along your lash line with the dense brush tip.
Red-toned browns like chestnut, maroon, burgundy or berry brown look extremely flattering on brown-eyed beauties because they mirror the natural warmth of brown eyes. A flicker of burgundy eyeliner can make brown eyes appear richer and more radiant, whether it’s lightly skimmed across the lash line or mapped out into a perfect cat eye. My Walk of No Shame Eyeliner is a beautiful burgundy eyeliner that will help you to feel like the most confident version of yourself! Glide it on to emphasise your eye colour and feel instantly empowered to glow with beauty confidence!

There’s nothing like a flash of blue eyeliner to make your brown eyes pop! Looking to colour theory, the warm tones that make brown eyes so endearing are perfectly contrasted by the cool tones that blue eyeliner has an abundance of. By adding a pop of blue to your eye look on the inner corner, along the waterline or as an electric blue winged liner, you will bring out the twinkling brown shades in your brown eyes. Blue eyeliner is timeless, darlings, and incorporating beautiful blues into your eye look is easy with my Rock N Kohl kajal eyeliner in Sapphire Nights. This metallic blue eyeliner defines the look of your eyes with deep blue hues that expertly contrast brown eyes. Smudge Sapphire Nights along your lash line for an understated, eye-enhancing blue eyeliner look for brown eyes, or build it up for a punchier pop of blue!
Tilbury Tip: Love blue eyeliner, darlings? My Eye Colour Magic Liner Duo in Super Blue is perfect for making brown eyes pop!
A dash of green eyeliner can make brown eyes look hypnotic, darlings… Similarly to blue eyeliner, green is a vivid and vibrant shade that enlivens any eye makeup look. Whether you choose a rich forest green like the shades from my Green Lights Eye Colour Magic Liner Duo or a jewel-toned emerald like my Rock N Kohl kajal eyeliner in Hypnotic Peacock, adding accents to your look with green eyeliner will help your beautiful brown eyes to appear brighter and encourage any green or golden flecks to come to the forefront.
Purple is such a sophisticated colour to wear on your eyes and it can look so romantic alongside rich, brown tones. The mystery and magic of purple eyeliner is a perfect contradiction for the warm, inviting look of brown eyes; the two expertly contrast one another to create captivating colour play on the eyes. I created my Rock N Kohl kajal eyeliner in Fig Smoulder as the secret to giving your lash line a pop of purple that feels elegant and effortless. With this shade, it’s so easy to play with purple and give your gaze a smouldering, head-turning stare.

My famous Feline Flick is my go-to eyeliner look - it looks fabulous on everyone! Black eyeliner is the perfect tool for creating the perfect cat eye; it expertly complements all eye colours and will add drama to any brown-eyed look. It’s so versatile, too… Use your black eyeliner to create a soft, lift-effect liner, a sharp, winged eyeliner, and everything in between! To create my signature black eyeliner look, reach for my easy-to-use Rock N Kohl kajal eyeliner pencil in Bedroom Black. It’s a classic for a reason, darlings… My effortless, easy-to-blend kajal eyeliner pencil glides along the lash line to create high-pigment, matte artistry looks that will flawlessly frame your brown eyes.
Tilbury Tip: If you prefer to use liquid eyeliners, try The Feline Flick in Panther to get the jet black, lacquered look you love.
Everyone looks good in Pillow Talk, darlings… It’s a universal beauty booster! I created my Pillow Talk Eyeliner as an extension of my nude-pink makeup world, giving eyes everywhere a beautifying love filter that makes them appear warmer, dreamier, and more mesmerising. Pillow Talk Eyeliner is a blushing berry brown shade that pairs beautifully with the beauty icons from my Pillow Talk collection. The shade interacts so beautifully with brown eyes; its warm berry tones are perfect for bringing out their amber glow and makes them appear even more irresistible than before.
One of the best eyeliner colours for brown eyes is a nude shade that helps them to look bigger and brighter. Adding a brightening nude eyeliner to your waterline helps your eyes to appear more open and awake by accentuating the whites of your eyes and bringing out the natural sparkle of your eye colour. I created my Sleep Cheat Liner Duo to act as an alarm clock for tired-looking eyes! It has a peachy-nude shade that can be used in the waterline to brighten the look of your eyes, giving them subtle shimmer that leaves you looking wide awake. The peachy tones look flattering across all skin tones and have a more understated effect in comparison to bright white eyeliner. Use Sleep Cheat Liner Duo as a finishing touch for your eye look and cheat the look of a full 8 hours of beauty sleep!
