FOTD AL Bete Noir Solange (Copper) with Lisette (Red)

I'm still working with copper colors to see how I can wear them successfully. I was really happy with the pop of red today! I didn't get the idea until late in the afternoon.

The flash makes this look much more shimmery than it is in RL. The red pops nicely. It looks more like the second picture.

Eyes:
AL Bette Noir collection
Crease: Bette
Outer corner and worked into crease: Solange
Inner corner: Lisette to pop the copper. Dry Lined top and outside of pencil liner on the bottom with the same color, then used a damp brush over the bottom line to see if the color changed.
Mascara: Lancome Cils primer on top -- it worked good today. Generally, while it looks good, I'm not enamored with it. It's hard to see in white, and if it isn't done right, it looks clumped.
Lined lower: Mac blackgraph in wetline and earthline below it.
Top: Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara; bottom Lancome.
Brows: Merle Norman powder

Lips: NYX Goddess of the Night African Queen used with DuWop reverse liner.
Blush: Lip Pencil Jordana Magenta with one drop of moisturizer
Highlight: Elizabeth Arden Shimmer Powder up center of face -- I love this powder, but I should have used less.

What do you think? I'm happy with the way it turned out.
