Shimmery Copper Bronze Eyes of the Day

I love shimmery eye makeup.  (And the rest of the face, really, but lets stick to the eyes today.)

I used Mally Evercolor Shadow Stick in Topaz, a rich, shimmery, reddish coppery brown, as a base for this look on the lids and lower lashline.

Topaz is incredibly creamy, but "dries" quite quickly, so super fast blending is required in order to soften any edges.

I used the incredibly shimmery LORAC TANtalizer Baked Bronzer all over the lid, into the crease, and the lower lashline.  I actually prefer using this bronzer as an eyeshadow, and not so much as a bronzer on the face because it is SO shimmery.  I used theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer, a beautiful shimmery gold highlighter, under the brows and in the inner corner.

To darken the crease, I did use a matte shade.  It ended up looking not matte and pretty shimmery because it was blended into the shimmery bronzer shade.  I chose to use Sable, a matte warm chocolate brown, from the LORAC PRO Palette as the darker crease color.

For liner on my lower waterline, I used Tarina Tarantino Hyperliner in Tommy Jet, a black eyeliner.  Maybelline Full 'N Soft was the mascara I used.

I think this shot shows just how shimmery the Mary-Lou Manizer is as a highlight under the brow.

I tried to include the word "shimmery" as many times as I could in this post.  I'm not sure I used it enough, so... shimmery shimmery shimmery shimmery.  There you go.

Have a wonderful day, friends!!

Gold and Copper Eyes of the Day with Marc Jacobs

I used my new Marc Jacobs Starlet palette today.  The colors are so metallic and gorgeous, and I like the fall-y look the gold, copper, and brown created together.  The shadows are super soft and buttery, and they are excellently pigmented.

Amber Rush EotD

L'Oreal's Infallible 24 HR Eyeshadow in Amber Rush is one of my favorite copper eyeshadows.  It is very, very shimmery.  So much so that it gives almost a foiled metallic look to the lid.  The formula is such an interesting creamy powder texture that applies as nicely with fingers as it does with a brush.

I paired it with another Infallible eyeshadow color called Iced Latte, a light beige, and it's also very shimmery.  This one can lean a little frosty (which I don't really mind), so if you don't like that kind of finish Iced Latte might not be a shade you'll like.
