It can be difficult to find eyeshadow shades that work with a variety of eye colors, but there’s one hue that manages to look flattering on all complexions and colorings – shimmery brown. Other shades like purple are similar, but they don’t always work for every occasion. That’s where brown takes over.

According to Glamour magazine’s beauty blog, shimmery brown eyeshadow is the color of the moment. Stars like Jessica Alba, Rashida Jones, Drew Barrymore and Kate Beckinsale often rely on brown as their go-to shade for red carpet events, and it’s easy to see why.

Brown eyeshadow is one of the most wearable makeup products out there, which makes it great for everyone. A bit of shimmer makes any eye look bigger and gives off a warm, inviting vibe. To get the look yourself, pick up a product like Too Faced – Single Eye Shadow in Dirt Bag. Use it all over your lids, then finish up with a mascara. Your foolproof look will stay perfect all day.
