A Lunar New Year EOTD!

This is my first EOTD in...a loooooooong time. I'm a little rusty with the shadows/blending so I apologize in advance. ^-^;;

Whenever I think of Lunar New Year, I think of red and gold. Just telling you beforehand, the shimmers in this look are 4x as shimmery as the picture shows (which is not very shimmery at all). DARN CAMERA! Also! Please excuse my un-groomed eyebrows, I haven't had much time to take care of them. Anyway, here is what I put together...

I call this the sleepy-eye pose!
I didn't really have any red eyeshadows so I used the reddish-copper color from the Stila Charmed Eye Palette. I used a gold for the outer half of my lid. I then added an orange-yellow shade and a matte light brown to blend the harsh edges. After all shadows were applied, I added a little bit of white shimmer in the middle of my lid as a finishing touch (it really doesn't show up in the pictures *sad face*) and blended it outward a little.
Eye closed.
I used this gaw-juss gold eyeliner on the bottom waterline. You can see it peeking through here. Can you guess what it is? (Why yes! It is L'Oreal HiP's Gold Charge!) The shimmers are a little bit easier to see in this picture...somewhat. I swear to you, it looked sooooooo much prettier in real life (not to toot my own horn)!
Korres Cherry Lip Gloss in Fuschia
I used a sheer red lip gloss for the lips. I didn't want to go overboard with the lips; I wanted the eyes to be the focal point of the whole look!
Haven't seen this face in a while, huh?! Please excuse that one random strand of hair.

-L'Oreal Hip Color Rich Cream Crayon in Unmistakable

Ok, that's called being "rusty"? You don't want to see how I blend then...lol! The red and gold combo you chose is perfect for the holiday. It looks sooo pretty. =D
