FOTD – Copper Orange Mood

I’m doing something different.  I’m posting an actual look that I’m wearing right now!  This is something that I never do.  My usual FOTD posts are always a few days to a few weeks old.  Hope you like.

This is my bed hair.  I twisted my flat ironed hair into random twists, then piled the twists onto the top of my head and secured them with bobby pins.  When I took the bonnet off this morning, it was fairly presentable, so I just left it this way.

Click below for the details of the makeup.

  • MAC Coppering: Orange copper; veluxe pearl
  • MAC Rule: Vivid orange; matte

    • Thanks! I tried to make it as soft as possible. Coppering is a very intense color.

  9. I’m not a make-up lover but I have to say your make up makes me what to try it lol. I think I was turned off by alot of chicks make up because it was over the top. Neon yellow eyes to match their purse lol. Even though you use colors your make up is always light and natural looking. Awesome.
