Copper Wedding makeup for TK

Despite how clean and simple this look appears, it took me more time to develop than any other look for someone ever.  Because this was designed to be wedding makeup for a very dear friend of mine.  She happens to be extremely pink-skinned.

So Once Upon a time, my dear friend TK asked me to do her makeup for her wedding. I was of course thrilled and excited to do so, and created a pinboard for her makeup.  The only thing she told me was "natural."

So I pulled a lot of photos of very simple makeup, pinks, liquid black liner, and colors to emphasize her baby blues and pale pink-tinted skin.

Well, after making her a contributor to the pinboard, I realized that she wanted coppers, and, and, and golds, for her eye makeup colors.

This proved to be especially challenging, because she has a very fair, pink, skin tone.  Typically coppers tend to wash out faces with her coloring. I.E. think vampire over-applying bronzer.

But I did it.  I used a cream orange, to give the coppery-appearance, and covered it with cream, pinks, and browns, to make the orange more subtle and give the 'copper' allusion without washing her fair skin out.

So this is what I did:
1. Maybelline Eyestudio Color Tattoo in 10 Fierce and Tangy (Orange) over the lid and lining the outer lower lashline.
2. Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Pop Hazel Eyes in the 7th color (shimmery cream) on the arch and inside corner of the eye and inside lower lashline.
3. Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Pop Hazel Eyes in the 6th color (coppery pink/red) blending the  unorange area with the orange.
4. e.l.f. Eyeshadow Duo #01015 7/8 in the shimmery color (warm pinkish brown) in the middle of the lid. and on the outer lower lashline.
5. e.l.f. Eyeshadow Duo #01015 7/8 in the matte color (cool matte brown) in the outside corner.
6. Blend profusely.
7. e.l.f. Eyeshadow Duo #01015 1/2 in the matte color (it looks gray next to the blue, but it's actually navy.)  Line the outer upper lashline.  This will brighten and emphasize the blue.
8. Maybelline Falsies Lash Mascara Please tell me you know where to put mascara. ;)

You're done. That was it.
