Brown Eyes

Deep, mysterious, intriguing, hypnotic, enticing, striking and sexy . . . Big, deep brown eyes. Angelina Jolie covers her blue eyes with brown contacts. Davina Requal does the same. Kristin Stewart had to cover her green eyes with chocolate brown contacts every day while filming Twilight. The lucky ones already have them! There is nothing more interesting in terms of eye color than brown eyes.

Brown eyes range in color from light, chestnut, chocolate, honey, golden, amber to dark. Hazel eyes are considered brown eyes as well but they have siginifcant gold and red specks as well as some green specks and some have green circling around the iris. Hazel eyes are brown eyes with a twist that appear to change color according to the lighting. But true brown eyes are a solid color with visible brown (even in dark brown eyes). They may have visible golden and/or red specks, but the color stays solid in all lighting conditions.

Brown eyes originated in Europe. They were the very first mutation for the white race in European coloring, along with light skin tones and brown hair. "Old Europeans" all had brown eyes. Similar looks are today in Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sean Connery.

Contrary to popular belief, most of the world's population does not have brown eyes but black eyes. (And yes, there is "such a thing" as black eyes being totally black color with no other visible color whatsoever.) In Europe, brown eyes are dominate in parts of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, France and Britain. They are considered a real thing of beauty in Ireland where many people have green or blue eyes but wish for chestnut or chocolate brown instead.

Brown eyes are also found in the Middle East, North Africa and South American popluations. However, this is only from white European admixture. It's impossible for an African or Asian to have brown eyes without such admixture as they naturally have black eyes and brown eyes are exclusively European in nature.


Note:

Recently, there has been a change with regards to colored contacts. In the eye industry, we call it "brown-eyed desire". When colored contacts first came out, we were bombarded with people wishing to change their brown eye color to green or blue. However, over the last several years, we have been bombarded even harder with people wishing to change their blue, grey or green eye colors to a gorgeous shade of brown. I happen to be one of them. I own a pair of chestnut brown eye contact lenses to cover my dull grey eye color. Even movie stars have picked up on this craze. When asked why, I've received so many answers from wanting a mysterious look to wanting their eyes to stand out more to wanting the depth that brown eyes creates. Brown eyes are also associated with sex appeal, loyalty and sheer excitement. Do a search for brown eyes, and you will find that most people prefer them to any other eye color.
