Which one are you using? I've played with Sienna without too much headache and Momka's Charlie Brown is another brown transparent you might look at.

GA Walnut is a good dark brown, semi-transparent.

Amazon Bronze will turn any number of funky colors. It's not the thing to use if you want straight brown. Any of the examples above will work well. On the other hand, if you want a fantastic oil slick sheen on the iris of the eyes you're making, work the Amazon Bronze really hot (keep the haze burned off), let it cool, and then bathe it in a nice reducing flame for a bit. You'll get a great silvery-brown oil slick effect.

Momka's Brown Glitter makes nice irises also.
