Eye Shadow - Coppering

Coppering is a orange copper in a veluxe pearl finish and I love this eyeshadow. Everytime I wear this eyeshadow I get compliments on the color. Coppering is a easy eyeshadow to blend out, very pigmented and it has long staying power.

Love Love Love Mac

As most everyone I love mac eyeshadow. I am especially partial to their matte and veluxe pearl shadows. If I was rich I would own them all, but unfortunately I can't afford to throw down 14.00 bucks an eyeshadow very often so my collection is limited. They are definitely worth the investment though. Coppering is a must have for anyone with blue eyes.

Coppering brings the copper rings out in my eyes!

Seriously. This bronzey orange red shade makes my honey brown eyes blaze! Normally, I would be skeptical about putting an ORANGE. RED. shade around my eyes. No thank you I don't want to look like I haven't slept in a week. But, at the behest of the makeup artist, I tried a little copper ring on and I fell in love. Of course, it's a veluxe pearl, meaning it has the smoothest and best texture of MAC shadows. (If you don't like Veluxe pearl texture, try Stila Jezebel for a similar shade)

I highly recommend pairing this with a black eyeliner/dark mascara to give it contrast between your eye color, otherwise the dreaded red eye could happen. I usually pair shades like this with blacks and deep chocolate bronzes (neutral shimmery beiges as base/highlight).

Here's a very sexy nighttime look:
A frosty neutral as a base/highlight/dabbed on inner corners (MAC Phloof or Stila Kitten
shadows would do the trick)
MAC Coppering applied on the lids
MAC Blacktrack fluidliner on top lashline only and winged out for a cateye (you can use any black liquid or gel liner as well)
For outer corner and lower lashline, apply a shimmering black or brown/bronze shadow depending on your outfit

Apply mascara and you've got yourself a sultry and unique nighttime look :)
