Look – Deep, Dark Browns and Red Lips
Posted On: 09/13/08
Posted in: Brown, Lips, Looks, Neutral
I’m going to my sister’s piano recital later on this evening, so I wanted to do something special for that :) What are you doing this weekend?
You will need the following…
- Eyes: Copperbeam pigment (dark gold-brown), Brash eyeshadow (copper), Woodwinked eyeshadow (antique brown), Bronze eyeshadow (dark brown), Spiced Chocolate eyeshadow (matte dark brown), Ricepaper eyeshadow (soft highlighter), Urban Decay Zero 24/7 Liner (black), Plushlash mascara (black)
- Cheeks: Fleurry blush (soft peachy coral)
- Lips: Sci-Fi-Delity lipstick (frosty raspberry), Cult of Cherry lipglass (red)
- Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: Copperbeam = Tan; Brash = Amber Lights; Spiced Chocolate = Swiss Chocolate; Fleurry = Peachykeen; Sci Fi Delity = Captive; Cult of Cherry = Russian Red
Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Copperbeam pigment all over the lid as the base with the 249. On inner lid, apply Brash eyeshadow with the 239 brush. Apply Woodwinked eyeshadow to the middle of the lid. Darken the outer lid using Bronze eyeshadow and drag into crease using the 239. Add depth to crease by applying Spiced Chocolate eyeshadow with the 239 brush. Sweep Ricepaper eyeshadow underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with Urban Decay Zero 24/7 Liner on lower lash line, and Plushlash mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Fleurry blush using the 129. Apply Sci-Fi-Delity lipstick to lips, and then top with Cult of Cherry lipglass for color and shine.

Love this look. I’ve noticed your teeth look whiter these days, what did you use to whiten them? I don’t mind my Crest white strips, but I’m always looking for better.
Saturday, September 20, 2008
Thanks, Kella! Actually, I haven’t whitened my teeth in over six months…

I ♥ this look a lot!

GORGEOUS! I love the metallic look of it! It looks spectacular!

That’s what I call a total art work.
I have to use my Smoking Quad. Do you think Showstopper or Smoking can substitute Spiced Chocolate and Mulch or Satin Taupe could replace Bronze?
Saturday, September 13, 2008
I’d say Mulch is much closer to Bronze than Satin Taupe is, at least on me. Not sure about Showstopper/Smoking though…
Saturday, September 13, 2008
Thank you for your recommendation Courtney. I just have to be careful with warm colors with a gold and red undertone.
Saturday, September 20, 2008
Oh, wow!
Thanks, Nicole!
Showstopper could replace Satin Taupe, probably. It’s quite dark, kind of cool. Mulch could be an OK Bronze in a pinch – maybe put a little Showstopper mixed in to darken it.

So sexy! Love it!
Saturday, September 20, 2008
Thanks, Ceci!
Saturday, September 13, 2008
Very pretty look. What collection was Brash and Spiced Chocolate from? Looks like I missed 2 good ones! :(
Hope your sister’s recital goes well!
Saturday, September 13, 2008
cult of cherry, of course!!! :D
don’t worry you can still get the quads on the mac website!
Saturday, September 20, 2008
Thanks, Dawn! She did AMAZING!
It’s from MAC’s Cult of Cherry collection, still available!

I like it :D the red lips look good on you.. somehow makes me think of snow white (just cause of the dark hair and red lips.. you’re not very pale haha!)
Saturday, September 20, 2008
Thanks, Kat! ;)
Saturday, September 13, 2008
I think that this combination (dark brown eyes, red lips) is hands down THE most gorgeous look on you!!!
Saturday, September 20, 2008
Thank you so much, Leigh!
Saturday, September 13, 2008

This look is AMAZING on you! You were born to wear coppery and bronze warm shades. And no one rocks the red lipstick like you do! (Okay, maybe Gwen Stefani…lol…)
Saturday, September 20, 2008
Oh, wow! Thank you so much, Betsy ;) Haha, yes, I think Gwen might rock it a lil’ harder than me!

Awww, thank you, Jenna! You are too sweet, LOL :)
Monday, September 15, 2008
wow, my first time to leave a comment. I have to say you are beautiful! You are an excellent makeup expert. Everything you tried on just look so exotic and pretty. I wish i could do that…
btw, which mascara did you use, Christine? thanks.
Saturday, September 20, 2008
Happy first comment, Sandy! Thank you so much :)
I used Plushlash here!
Monday, September 15, 2008
I always want to do looks like these, but I don’t have any clothes to match. I need to get some brown tops! :-) Wow this is so gorgeous!

I am finding it hard to find a nice dark brown eyeshadow with a hint of goldy-ness to them.. I think I might have to resort to MAC! Looking lovely as always! =] x
Saturday, September 20, 2008
MAC has some great warm browns :)
