I love the look of copper, but I absolutely cannot pull it off on my skintone. It’s one of those shades that’s just a little too orange and yellow on me. I shall admire from afar! 🙂

Nice choices! I think I’m addicted to collecting copper and bronze eyeshadows – I think copper is one of the most flattering colours on my eyes, it doesn’t look very orange, more neutral but brightens up my eye area a lot like a concealer/colour corrector would.

I have Amber Lights, a very pretty copper, I like it a lot. If I could get it I would love to have Fireside Interlude, it’s just gorgeous!

My favorite lid color in the whole world. I have a library of these shades:
Kenyan Copper by Estee Lauder – the first SA to show me how great peach looked on my lid, light and
matte.
Sizzling Copper by Estee Lauder – saw on cover of Allure on Julianne Moore with Sparkling Amethyst,
bought both!!
MAC’s Duchess palette -Sexy Eyes, the perfect coppery peach, and Femme Fatale, golden, copper
btown
Lorac’s Unzipped palette – Unbelievable and Unattainable, coppery peach and coppery brown
Kat Von D’s Ladybird Palette – Cleopatra, a darker, matte red copper
Bare Minerals The Rare Find Palette – first saw it here Christine, Frission is a slightly btowner version
of Kat’s Cleopatra above
Ulta’s Sunburst – a lighter golden peachy copper, kind of duochrome
MAC’s Mythology – a pinky medium copper

I think Sexy Eyes and Mythology are my favorites for punching up a look by putting them on the lid. But when I saw how great the color was on my eye color/hair color/complexion, as you can see, I amassed a collection!
