Copper and Blue

Not too long ago, I saw a really lovely look on another blog and I thought I would do my own take on it.  It was from this post on Messy Wands.  I love the simplicity and contrast.  Also, I very much enjoy blue and copper!

I ended up looking tanned here, even though I swear the BB Cream looked like a good match indoors.  I guess maybe it oxidized.  I don't know.  I often struggle with foundations and bases and being able to tell whether they match my skin perfectly or not.  I think I take a "close enough is good enough" approach on most days.

I like how the lashes on the bottom stand out against the blue!  Below is an awkwardly lit shot from the afternoon sun.  I was hoping to showcase all the lovely sparkliness and duochrome.

And....really I just took too many photos.

I'd like to do more copper and blue eye looks in future.  Good colors, I say!  Thanks to Xiao for the inspiration.  :)
