are my eyes just brown or? the pics with mascara are newer and excuse me for how messy they are, i had just slept with the mascara on

I’ve been told both throughout my life and i’m just curious what qualifies as hazel and what doesn’t.

I think the ring around it is fading.

I always thought my eyes were just regular ole blue

I would call my eyes Hazel, but people tend to see brown.

Brown, Hazel? Shiny!

The first picture was taken in August, and the second one in October. I am not sure if my lashes grew or if it's just the lightning/quality of the picture. Let me know what y'all think!

I went my whole life thinking they were brown, and now looking at this sub im like wait....what color eyes do I actually have? 😳

This is in bathroom lighting. Obvs they’re brown guys so SIT DOWN. Though I do see lots of lighter tones giving honey vibes. Multi-tonal brown, yes. I know I have contraction furrows, they’re always visible. Also, maybe I just love honey and wished my eyes gave honeycomb vibes 😅 turn your brightness up to see the rings. Always loved them and just recently found out what they really are! I always said I had rings like a tree. Pretty cool for and earth sign too ♑️

Edit: meant to say honey in the title 🤦🏻‍♀️ lol
