Brown or dark eyes actually have the most choices when it comes to makeup. For eyeshadow colors you should try gold, silver, bronze, copper, magenta, pink, dark purple, lavendar, teal, peach, burgundy, black, shimmery white, etc. For specific brands I recommend Covergirl, Loreal, and Physicians Formula.
For eyeliner you should go with sapphire which is a midnight blue, teal, dark purple, charcoal, or black. I would avoid brown because I don`t think it would do anything for your eye color. For these try Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof pencils or Wet N Wild cream eyeliners.
For a specific eyeshadow look try this:
Spread a light lavendar eyeshadow all over the lid, then put a dark purple in the crease.
The line the top and bottom eye with a thin line of black eyeliner. Curl lashes and apply two coats of mascara.
1. Prep the lid. The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free. To do this start with an eyeshadow base (also called 'primer').
2. Apply eyeliner. If you're going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye.
3. Blend in color on bottom lashes For color on the bottom (a key smoky eye look) you'll want a lighter eyeliner. The key is to 'smudge it.
4. Apply light base color Again, the key to a smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue.
5. Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base and eyeliner on, it's time to get the smoky effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade.
Well, I have dark brown eyes also. I am asian, but I have about the same eye color as you
(as I am guessing).
Anyways, I wear dark black eyeliner from clinique and blue, olive, light brown, and light pink, eyeshadows. I can get away with shimmery eyeshadows but it may be different for you. You should probably wear mascara that matches your eyeliner, so I would go with black, but it all depends what age you are. If you are under fourteen, I would just stick with eyeshadow, and eyeliner OR mascara. ( I wouldnt do both).
My eyes are a really dark brown too. I just use whatever I have in my bag. Usually blues, pinks/purples, neutral colors, sometimes orange in the summer. It's very easy to overdo it on the blue though. You just gotta find that color that works for you.
It also depends on what type of skin color you have, if you have dark skin, or tan you deff want to use colors that are soft, not to dark or it looks trashy.

You could try going for that smokey look:
1. Prep the lid. The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free. To do this start with an eyeshadow base (also called 'primer').

I think gold looks gorgeous on brown eyes. Stay in the earthy tones for your beautiful brown eyes.
But really brown can do almost any color!
For a more out there color do purple! purple and brown is lovely!! And blues too :)

Blue shadows and liners. How do I know? I have teal/blue eyes and brown looks awesome and really brings them out.
Golden colors are nice.
You want colors that add shine.
It also depends on what type of skin color you have, if you have dark skin, or tan you deff want to use colors that are soft, not to dark or it looks trashy.
its up to you your eye colour works with all the colours but never use too much yellow use colors like pink light blue and violet
