Eyes: Golden Lemon pigment (mixed with MAC’s water-based mixing medium as your base), Goldmine eyeshadow (true gold color), Rye eyeshadow (dirty/antique gold color), Ricepaper eyeshadow (use the color of your skintone with a touch of warmth), Rose Blanc eyeshadow (highlighter with gold undertones), Graphblack technakohl (black kohl liner), and black mascara.
Face: If you’d like to compliment the eyes, use Margin blush (darker coral) on apples of cheeks, Fleurry blush (pink coral) just under the cheeks and slightly layered over, Harmony blush (brown/gray) to contour cheeks, and Gold Dusk pigment to highlight.
Lips: For matching lips, try Mari-sheeno lipstick (deep pink coral) with Poetique lipglass (semi-dark rusty orange).
