Allergy Awareness
May is National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. Its a peak season for asthma and allergy sufferers, and a perfect time to educate your family about allergies. Seasonal Allergies in Children Allergies and asthma often start in childhood and continue throughout life. Although neither can be cured, with proper care they can usually be kept under control. Allergies are caused by the bodys reaction to substances called allergens, which trigger the immune system to react to harmless substances as though they were attacking the body. When to Suspect an Allergy Some allergies are easy to identify by the pattern of symptoms that follows exposure to a particular substance. But others are more subtle, and may masquerade as other conditions. Here are some common clues that could lead you to suspect that your child may have an allergy. Repeated or chronic cold-like symptoms that last more than a week or two, or that develop around the same time every year. These could include a runny nose, nasal stuffiness, sneezing, throat clearing, coughing, nose rubbing, sniffling, snorting, sneezing, and itchy, runny eyes. Itching or tingling sensations in the mouth and throat are not usually complaints with a cold, but are the hallmark of an allergy. Wheezing, difficulty breathing, and other respiratory symptoms, recurrent red, itchy, dry or scaly rashes in the creases of the skin, wrists, and ankles also may indicate an allergy. When it comes to rashes, the most common chronic inflammatory skin condition in children is eczema, also called atopic dermatitis. Although not strictly an allergic disorder, eczema in young children has many of the hallmarks of allergies and is often a sign that hay fever and asthma may develop. The rate of eczema, like that of asthma, is increasing throughout the world. Where asthma is rare, the rate of eczema is also low. When to Suspect Asthma Although allergies and asthma often go together, they are actually two different conditions. In simple terms, asthma is a chronic condition that starts in the lungs. Allergies are reactions that start in the immune system. Not everybody with allergies has asthma, but most people with asthma have allergies. The airways of the typical child with asthma are inflamed or swollen, which makes them oversensitive. When they come in contact with an asthma trigger something that causes an asthma attack the airways, called bronchial tubes, overreact by constricting (getting narrower). Many different substances and events can trigger an asthma attack exercise, cold air, viruses, air pollution, certain fumes and, especially, a host of allergens. In fact, about 80 percent of children with asthma also have allergies and, for them, allergens are often asthma triggers. Common Allergens In spring, warmer weather can increase outdoor allergens. In fall, many indoor allergens cause problems because children are indoors for longer periods. Dust: contains dust mites and fine particles from other allergens, such as pollen, mold, and animal dander Fungi: including molds too small to be seen with the naked eye Furry animals: cats, dogs, guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, and other pets Clothing and toys: especially those made, trimmed, or stuffed with animal hair Latex: household and school articles, such as rubber gloves, toys, balloons; elastic in socks, underwear, and other clothing; airborne particles Bacterial enzymes: used to manufacture enzyme bleaches and cleaning products Certain foods: common allergens are milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, seafood, soy, and wheat
Child Development
Controlling Allergy Symptoms Its helpful to use air conditioners or filters, where possible, to reduce exposure to pollen in both your home and your car. Molds are present in the spring and late summer, particularly around areas of decaying vegetation. Children with mold allergies should avoid playing in dead leaves in the fall. Dust mites are commonly found in upholstered furniture, bedding, and rugs. Padded furnishings, such as mattresses, box springs, pillows, and cushions should be encased in allergen-proof, zip-up covers, which are available through specialized retailers. Wash linens weekly, and bedding such as blankets every 2 to 3 weeks in hot water to kill dust mites. Replace pillows every 2 to 3 years. Work With Your Childs Pediatrician Your childs allergy and/or asthma treatment should start with your pediatrician. If needed, your doctor may refer you to a pediatric allergy specialist for additional

evaluations and treatments. Although there are many overthe-counter antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal sprays, it is very important that you work with a pediatrician to make sure that your childs conditions are correctly diagnosed and the symptoms properly treated.

Its that beloved time of year again! June 1stAugust 3rd bookends the free Summer Reading Programs throughout San Luis Obispo County Libraries, and we have a great summer planned for your children! Dig Into Reading is the theme for kids from infancy - 5th grade. We will have a board book for the under 2-year-old crowd, a canvas bag filled with fabulous prizes and coupons, along with a book to choose for lapreaders and very beginning readers who finish 20 books. Our chapter book reading set will earn a bag of incentives when they finish reading 10 books. Teen readers (grades 6-12) will not only get a filled canvas bag and book, but a chance to win an iPod Touch after they explore their Beneath the Surface theme.
And Amelia Q. Carpenter - age 14 (who won last years competition):
Once again, our canvas bags are sponsored by the wonderful people of Cloud Star. The importance of keeping kids reading through the summer cannot be over emphasized. Fun programs and incentives are all well and good -- but reading, like virtue, is its own reward. Programming helps maintain the habit of weekly library visits for the whole family. Dont forget that you are your childs best teacher, so make a point of checking out books for yourself too, along with DVDs, CDs, and video games. Make friends with your librarians and ask for suggestions. We love to recommend great read-a-louds, ageappropriate good reads, and series that cant be missed. Librarians are local treasures; they get to know their communities, their
patrons, and their collections to best serve you. School librarians are equally valuable for children during the school year. They not only know about good books for their students, but they also know which books dovetail in with the curriculum. Librarians teach students life-long research and media literacy skills. As author Neil Gaiman writes Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one. Research shows a direct correlation between schools with devoted school librarians and higher student achievement. For some horrid reason, many school districts seem to think that any clerical aid can do the job and they are cutting out the heart of school libraries by eliminating their statecertified teacher-licensed librarians. This is very short-sighted and tragic at many levels. Please stand up for school librarians if you live in such a district, and send a letter of support to your school board. The long-term consequences of school librarian cuts will be chilling. I am not going to list all of the great library performers and programs this year. Please check with your local branch or, better yet, check our website www.slolibrary.org , and even better, dont forget to Like us on Facebook: SLOCountyLibrary . We love to keep you up to date!

Getting Out
Weekend in Carmel-by-the Sea
by David Vogel
I asked my wife Patrice if shed like to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary at a nice restaurant in SLO. How about a family weekend in Carmel? she replied.
The drive up the coast is dropdead spectacular, but the scenic inland route on 101 saves an hour. It was raining on Friday, so we planned Big Sur for the ride down on Sunday. After a pleasant 2-1/2 hour drive, we neared the verdant little city of Carmel (population 3000) and opened the windows to enjoy fresh air scented with evergreens and salt water. Winding from the highway through pine-studded hills, we came to the tiny downtown area-a veritable cosmopolitan oasis, resplendent with boutique shops, We sauntered happily and art galleries, and restaurants. window-shopped on the way to our car, then drove out San Carlos We parked a few blocks from Street, Carmels hotel row. We Mundaka, www.mundakacarmel. easily found the Hofsas House com, a Spanish style tapas http://hofsashouse.com within restaurant where we had walking distance. It is pink, with reservations. The dcor was a charming mural by the entrance warm and eclectic, a mix of old, that complements the classic repurposed, and new. The dinner Bavarian architecture. Though crowd included couples and the inn does not look large from families, young and mature. Table street level, two more stories are conversation and the music were built up the hillside in the back. lively, but not loud. The staff was friendly and professional. When we walked upstairs and Diners were smiling and enjoying opened the Dutch door to our themselves. The menu, which suite, we were astonished by how includes organic fair-trade spacious it was. The kids room produce, free-range poultry and had two queen beds with plenty line-caught fish, features a variety of space between them, a dining of hearty appetizers--hot and area, a kitchenette, and a divided cold tapas. With our waiters bathroom (tub / shower / toilet assistance, we chose the seafood room with adjoining vanity area). paella, preceded by a mix of Our bedroom had an open sitting artisan cheeses, fig bread, bacon area, king size bed, large dressing wrapped dates with goat cheese, area, and a divided bathroom olives, house made sausage, and vanity. When Donna Hofsas potato creations, cauliflower built this hotel sixty years ago,
gruyere, and other tasty morsels. The house red wine was robust, and we managed to save enough room to share a portion of bread pudding, with almond, pear, chocolate and ginger. We thanked chef Brandon Miller for our scrumptious meal, and he shared his enthusiasm for healthful food, wine, Spanish culture, and his plans for Mundaka.
she wanted her guests to feel relaxed. All 38 rooms are unique-some have fireplaces, some full kitchens. The furnishings are comfortable, yet elegant. At the same time, the rates are among the most reasonable in Carmel-our enormous two-room suite cost $260/night. After a restful night, I joined guests from various countries in the lobby for continental breakfast. The freshly baked pastries and coffee were excellent, along with fresh fruit and yogurt. We talked about Hofsas House and the Carmel community with Carrie Theis, who owns and manages the hotel that her grandmother had built. Shed learned hospitality at her grandmothers knee, so the inn has the cozy feel of a little B&B. Carrie showed us around the hotel grounds, including the heated pool, saunas, and conference room, which can seat a dinner for thirty. She explained that dogs and other pets are welcome in certain rooms, with waste stations outside, and even free doggy treats. The whole town of Carmel is famously dog-friendly. When our family walked on the beautiful white sand beach nearby, we saw people running with their dogs off-leash.
We drove to Rio Grill at the Crossroads Shopping Village for lunch on Saturday. www.riogrill. com The restaurant has high ceilings and a festive, modern southwest dcor. The staff was attentive but not over-bearing, and good blues music played in the background. The menu featured creative regional California cuisine from a wood-burning grill and an oak wood burner. Though I had a fine beer (Delirium Tremens), the Rio Grills wine list showcases the Central Coast of California, and the stylish bar offers signature Southwestern cocktails as well as the classics. Our dishes arrived promptly, looked like pieces of art, and tasted great. The Dungeness crab cakes with roasted red-pepper cumin vinaigrette were light and crispy, with a meaty interior, and a little kick. The prawns on penne pasta with pancetta and grilled peas in cream sauce had just the right mix of textures and savory flavors. The Southwest Bouillabaisse was superb. Note well, the Rio Grill has a kids menu, which included a plain quesadilla and ice-cream sundae for our less adventurous 11-year-old.
Hofsas House offers special family packages, such as Beach Fire & Smores ($60), which includes a wood bundle and starter, beach blanket, smores supplies, Frisbee, and a flashlight. They also encourage family reunions with group discount rates on We drove to nearby Monterey for rooms and meeting facilities and the afternoon, where we enjoyed wandering through the Monterey a complimentary family portrait.

menu offers a thoughtful selection of classic, healthful dishes from southern France and the Basque region. The wine list was extensive, emphasizing wines from California and France, but including superb vintages from all over the world. The service was excellent and understated. I ordered a heart of palm salad and rack of lamb Provencal. Patrice chose a Caesar salad, and Petrale sole. We ordered a half bottle of Oregon Pinot and shared plump Kalamata olives and crusty fresh bread. The salads were fresh with delicate dressing. Patrice declared that she had finally found the ultimate Caesar salad. My rack of lamb evoked a similar response. Not only was it perfectly cooked over a wood fire, but it was uniquely cut with the bone on one side and the filet left whole. Patrices sole with lemon butter was succulent. The side dishes were equally refined. For dessert, we shared Profiteroles with fluffy pastry, creamy vanilla glac, and dark chocolate sauce. After our meal, we were greeted by owner Pierre Bain, whose family has owned the Grand Hotel Bain in Provence for almost 300 years. Inherently charming, he showed us around Fandango, related its history, and enthusiastically answered my questions about the wine cellar. Pierre even escorted us to the small home next door that hed converted from a law office into a temperature-controlled wine storage area, giving new meaning to the phrase house wine. The next morning, we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast before checking out, thanked our host Carrie Theis for a truly wonderful stay, then started home through Big Sur. As advertised, the views were incredible. Two pieces of advice for the drive: 1) If you really want to enjoy the views, make sure someone else is driving; and 2) If you are afraid of heights or a timid driver, it is better to head north through Big Sur, so that you are not driving next to the dropoffs.
We then crossed the street and spent a few magical hours at the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, marveling at exhibits of jellyfish, seahorses, otters, and otherworldly creatures.
After we returned home to the Hofsas House, the kids had dinner en suite and connected to the high-speed wireless Internet to watch Netflix while Patrice and I dressed for our anniversary dinner at Fandango, a French Basque restaurant in Pacific Grove. http:// fandangorestaurant.com
If youre looking for a romantic Old World restaurant for a special occasion, Fandango is a wonderful choice. A charming old farmhouse with exposed wood beams, the venue includes two main dining rooms, and five private dining rooms seating from eight to fifty. The dcor is rustic elegance, reminiscent of rural France. The

Education
School readiness and success require your child to have an organized brain as the foundation for effective attention, behavior, communication, motor skills, and learning. When his brain network is wired correctly, accurate sensory messages are sent between the body and brain, which allow him to learn and adapt in different environments. This brain wiring begins before birth and develops as your baby moves his body and interacts within his environment. Early body movements play an important role in the organization (or disorganization) of the brains wiring connections. These connections are the foundational link between the body and brain. They enable your child to: sit still in a chair, focus and pay attention, balance and coordinate movements, manipulate a pencil, follow a line of print while reading, comprehend and remember information that he sees and hears, and express himself socially and through writing. When a childs brain network is disorganized with crossed wires, learning is inefficient, takes more energy, and cannot be maintained. This child may be bright, but inconsistent with his workhe can do it sometimes and not others. His challenges are likely connected to missed development in his brain network caused by abnormal primitive reflexes. Primitive reflexes, (also called survival reflexes) are automatic movement patterns that emerge to help a baby survive and develop during the first year of life. These reflexes organize sensory input, which activates wiring connections in the brain for higher levels of movement, adapting, and learning. In normal development, by one year of age, the survival reflexes become integrated, or inactive, because they are no longer necessary. This allows for more complex areas of the brain to develop. Survival reflexes that are active beyond 18 months are abnormal and cause an underdeveloped brain and immature central nervous system. When reflexes dont integrate normally in a child, subtle to severe symptoms occur that negatively

impact the childs development. It is important to recognize these symptoms, because there are effective methods for improvement that can permanently change a childs brain organization and learning potential. Following is a list of five primitive reflexes and how they can impact learning if they are still active, or retained. (Please note that it requires a specialized evaluation to determine if your child is positive for any of the reflexes.) Each of the symptoms listed for a reflex can indicate that an area of development was missed. However, it is not common for a child to exhibit all of the symptoms. 1. Moro Reflex - This reflex is linked to the fight-or-flight instinct, anxiety, obsessive - compulsive disorder, and your childs ability to handle multiple stressors at once. Other symptoms include auditory processing problems (that impact speech, language, comprehension, reading, and writing). It is linked to the vestibular (balance) system, and many of these children are sensitive to motion (swings and car rides), light, and sound. They may exhibit poor balance and coordination, actfirst-think-later behavior, poor visual perception, withdrawing or overreacting, allergies, asthma, frequent colds, ear and throat infections, and exhaustion after school. 2. Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex Children with this active reflex often have reading and writing problems including dyslexia. It affects the ability to cross midline, know left from right, use both eyes together to look at a single word (convergence), and track horizontally across a page. Many of these children did not crawl, cannot skip, and have difficulty with motor-planning, coordination, balance and may appear awkward when they run or play sports. 3. Spinal Galant Reflex - This active reflex can show up as attention problems and ADD/ADHD, as it affects focus and the ability to sit still. It is also linked to short-term memory, ear infections and auditory processing problems. Often, these children wet the bed beyond age 5, are hypersensitive to touch (especially ticklish on their lower back) and sensitive to clothing or belts around the waist. 4. Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex - Children with this active reflex frequently have difficulty with handeye coordination, vertical tracking and catching. They may appear to be clumsy, have bad posture, or slump when sitting at a desk. They are slow at tasks that require copying and tend to be messy eaters. Many did not crawl, and have difficulty with activities that require both upper and lower body movements, such as swimming and gymnastics. 5. Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex - This active reflex connects to poor spatial awareness in children and knowing where their body is in comparison to things around them. They may knock over or run into things, talk too closely to someones face, become lost while playing sports, or feel disoriented and disorganized in their own body. In addition, these children often have poor balance, posture, coordination, proprioception, and muscle tone. Weak control of eye movements can affect reading, writing, copying and math. They also may have problems processing information and have poor organization, sequencing, and timing. Active primitive reflexes cause crossed wires and create a barrier to learning because important phases of development have been missed. Higher centers of the brain will attempt to compensate for what the lower centers are supposed to automatically do. While compensation may work in the shortterm, it takes a lot more mental energy, which creates exhaustion and makes it difficult to maintain long-term. This is why your child may be inconsistent with his skills able to perform in some situations, but not others. This inconsistency can look like your child is just lazy and careless, which suggests that the behavior is a choice. Rather, he

is working with faulty brain wiring because he lacks foundational skills due to missed phases of development. Your child can never reach his full potential if his brain is disorganized! One of the biggest problems for parents seeking help for a child struggling with attention, behavior, communication, motor, or learning challenges is that many professionals dont fully understand the foundational underpinnings of the bodybrainlearning connection. Countless parents have unsuccessfully tried many interventions, including tutoring, therapies, special education, medications, counseling, behavior charts, neurofeedback, and expensive reading centers. But, these strategies were not specifically geared to address the root cause of their childs problem. The great news is that it is never too late to retrain your childs brain by integrating these reflexes, so that it functions automatically and supports all learning and attention. This is done by re-creating the developmental stages that were missed in early childhood. It begins with an assessment of your child or teens primitive reflexes to determine if they are still active, followed by an individualized program that combines sensory processing with therapeutic movements to rewire the previously missed and critically important brain connections. This newly developed brain network can become the foundation for your childs future success in learning and in life.

GUY CRABB PUBLISHING
Recently, San Luis Obispo was named the happiest city in the United States (by National Geographic and Oprah Winfrey) but back in mid 1800s, our little town was one of the most dangerous places to visit. I recently bought a great book about a man who worked for the United States government delivering important mail in California in 1849. The book was originally published in Harpers Monthly magazine in two separate issues in 1862. The man told of his trip from San Francisco to San Luis Obispo and the many dangers he lived through as he traveled alone. The tales in his book reminded me of the three most feared men in our county during the 1850s. I have written before about Jack Powers and his gang of bad guys. I have also told the tale of Pio Lineras and how he was finally cornered and killed out near Los Osos. The outlaw I have not written about was one of the most feared and deadly men to pass through San Luis Obispo County and was known to kill people without a second thought.
Joaquin Murrieta (pictured above) came to California from Mexico in 1849 to strike it rich in the gold fields. While seeking his fortune, he and his wife were attacked by other miners and they both barely escaped with their lives. This incident scared him and he swore revenge on the men who attacked him and all white men who came to this part of California. Murrieta gathered a gang and started stealing horses and attacking settlers and wagon trains throughout California. Often his victims were traveling in San Luis Obispo County. It was said that Murrietas band of murderers killed up to twenty-eight Chinese and thirteen Caucasian Americans. It was documented that he and his gang killed at least six of the people who attacked him and his wife. Murrieta was like a ghost to the law. He would be reported in one area and there would be simultaneous reports that he was in another city 100 miles away. During this time, Murrieta was not the only Joaquin wanted by the
law. There were four others, but Murrieta was the most dangerous and the most wanted of the Five Joaquins. Murrieta would appear and disappear, but it was believed that he would come to San Luis Obispo to visit a girlfriend who lived in the San Luis Obispo High School area. In 1850, the population of San Luis Obispo was a little less than 400 people, so when Murrieta would come to town, most people knew of his presence. They made every attempt to avoid him and his gang while they were in town. It was not until 1853 that California Governor John Bigler signed an act to create a group called the California State Rangers. The group would be led by former Texas Ranger and Mexican War veteran Harry Love. Love came to California during the gold rush and became a bounty hunter. Due to his experience and fame in the war, he was assigned to capture Joaquin Murrieta and the other four Joaquins. Even though Love probably traveled in our county, this wasnt where he and the other Rangers had a run-in with a group of three infamous Mexican outlaws. Love claimed that one of the outlaws killed was Murrieta and one of the other two was a bandit named Three-Fingered Jack, who was a coldblooded killer. To provide proof that the two men captured were Murrieta and Three-Fingered Jack, Love preserved the two bandits heads in jars of alcohol so he could collect the money for their capture. There are still legends about Murrieta burying sacks of gold stolen from settlers in the hills of Cuesta Grade and other areas around San Luis Obispo County. In the 1950s, when two boys were digging up some bushes and unearthed a sack of gold, it was thought to have been buried there by Murrieta. There may
be several sacks of gold still buried out there in our hills. Murrieta never wanted to be arrested with stolen loot on him, so burying his booty under rocks or underground would be a smart thing to do. He could always come back and find the illgotten fortune at another time. Another legend of local bad guys was about a man who owned a bar in the Santa Margarita area. He was very hospitable to all travelers and often supplied free beer to thirsty visitors. The bar owner was so generous because many travelers carried large sums of money to buy cattle down in Santa Barbara. The more beer the visitors drank, the more information they revealed to the bartender / bar owner. The next morning when the visitors left town and started riding over Cuesta Grade into the city of San Luis Obispo, a bandit would appear and steal all of their money. The crazy thing was the bandit seemed to know exactly where each traveler hid his money. The bandit always wore a black wig, and one day as he was robbing another group of travelers, the bandits wig accidentally fell off. Then the travelers recognized him as the friendly bar owner from Santa Margarita. The bar owner soon disappeared, never to be heard from again. Isnt reading about bad guys as close as youd want to come to them? Thank goodness that our town is now known as the the happiest city in America.

Beauty Blog: Pro Make-Up Tips

by Mandy Buechner
Self Care
browns or mauves. Gold and bronze is also beautiful on dark brown eyes. For medium brown eyes - Medium to light brown eyes can try green, violet, or bronze colored shadows. You truly can wear almost any color of eye makeup if you have medium brown eyes. A purple or green eyeshadow palette can work equally well for daytime. Experiment by pairing neutral shadow with metallic eyeliner in copper or bronze for evening. For light brown eyes - Avoid black eyeliner, if you have light brown eyes, and use dark brown or other colors instead. Apply a neutral shade of shadow on the lid, a darker hue of the same color in the crease, then line your eyes in gold or green to reflect the flecks of color in your iris. If your eyes are so light they are hazel, try champagne tones with violet, bronze or brown liner to define the eye. Green or Hazel Eyes - Play with purples. Bring out your gorgeous green eyes with makeup that is red/ orange-based. To widen the look of close-set eyes, apply shades of deep plum eye shadow toward the outer edges and a lighter shade of purple toward the inner eye. If your eyelids are a little droopy, do the opposite. Avoid purples with blue undertones, as well as blue eye shadow and eyeliner. For green eyes, choose color tones such as dark green, lavender, purple, plum, or lilac. Gold and copper are great for highlighting green eyes. For eyeliner, it is best to avoid black and to choose browns or grey, which are much softer. A general rule of thumb for green eyes is to choose warm shades vs. cooler shades. Choose mascara in a brown tone, so the face does not look harsh or overpowered. Avoid silver - If you want to experiment with metallics, avoid silver shades on the eyes. Bronze, copper, and gold look wonderful with green eyes for evening. Brown or dark green eyeshadow with flecks of gold are also terrific choices. * If you missed Part 1 or 2 of Professional Makeup Tips, visit Mandys blog at www.mandyb.com to catch up!

Part 3* Eye Make-up

Eyeshadow Matte: Simple and sophisticated, matte shadows can define and enhance your natural eye color. Use a deep brown matte shadow in the crease of the eye to create a sculpted eye look that pops. Shimmer: Shimmers reflect light and instantly brighten the eye. Select a neutral shade for a day look or pump up the nighttime drama with a brighter shimmering shade. Blue Eyes - If you want your eyes to stand out and look mesmerizing, try wearing earth-tones, such as browns with a slight purple base, taupe, and slate colored grays. If you want to have a little fun, try a nice rose color. The coolness in pink/purple eyeshadow is a nice compliment to blue eyes. For the office, stick with brown, rose, lavender, and neutral shades. For a special date, blue-eyed women can try metallics (both silver and gold work well), turquoise, and icy pink.
For evening, dark blue mascara looks fabulous on blue eyes, especially paired with smudged charcoal eyeliner. Try smoky gray, dark blue, purple, grey, silver, violet or lavender shadow. For nighttime, blue combined with black is a great look. For eyeliner or mascara, try navy instead of black for a dramatic, yet less intense look. Brown Eyes - Most eye shadow colors work well with brown eyes. The determining factor is usually the depth of eye color -- almost black, medium, or light brown. Women with brown eyes can also pull off both black and brown eyeliner (brown works best in the day and black at night). For deep brown eyes - If your eyes are dark brown, medium to dark shades of eye shadow will work for you. Try plum, forest green, or charcoal gray. Check for flecks of lighter color in your eyes and uses those hues to select your eyeliner color. For dark brown eyes, try dark
