I've seen many people doing smocky eyes tutorials but they all have light brown or blue eyes so it fits them well, but whenever i do smocky eyes on me it looks to dark since my eyes are dark brown and i definitely don't want my eyes to look heavy. Any tips on what colors i should use to smoky eyes deep brown eyes?

I don't do smokey eyes very often (I have dark brown eyes as well), but I love using deep purples...it really compliments dark eyes! Also maybe stick to other colors besides black for smokey eyes since it may be over-kill if you have dark brown eyes...maybe grays or browns? :)

Supposedly if you take a look at a colorwheel, whatever is opposite to color of your eye is thee best match. So for dark brown eyes, it looks like Forest Green/Green/Teal are best smokey eye colors.

I used to think smokey eyes meant dark colored eye shadow, but not so. I found the best smokey eye look for my eyes were browns =)
