Copper and Green Eye Makeup with MAC Eyeshadows (Coppering, Soba, Saddle)

Coppering was one of the first eyeshadows I bought from MAC.  It was a bit of an impulse buy, and after getting back home and trying it under natural lighting, I found the color a bit too frosty and bright for my liking.  I didn't use it much after that, and it's only recently that I have finally figured out how to use this color.  Coppering pairs beautifully with a lot of the MAC warm brown eyeshadows, and for today's makeup look, I have added Urban Decay's Loaded to the mix.

For my eyes, I used:
Smashbox Photofinish Lid Primer
Urban Decay Eyeliner Pencil - Loaded
MAC Eyeshadows - Soba, Coppering, Saddle
Chanel Le Volume Mascara in Black

Here's a quick how-to on an easy copper and green eye makeup look with MAC eyeshadows - Coppering, Soba, and Saddle - starting with a scary nekkid face photo...well, almost nekkid, since I did add in a bit of concealer and foundation and dabbed on some lipstick.  I usually don't apply concealer over my eyelids, but I have added that here.

1.  Start by priming the lids with a lid primer to help keep the shadows in place.  I had previously also applied concealer over my lids to reduce some of the darkness.
2.  Apply UD Loaded - a dark green pencil along the upper lashline in a thickish line.  Work the color into the roots of the lashes to avoid any skin showing through later.
3.  Smudge the color using a smudger/pencil brush or a finger.  Keep the color darker towards the lashline and fading out over the rest of the lid.
4.  Apply a warm brown eyeshadow (Saddle works best for my skin tone) to blend out the edges of the smudged eyeliner along the crease.  This will help colors transition better towards the browbone and avoid harsh edges. 

5.  Apply MAC Soba on the outer half of the eyelid.  Use any flat eyeshadow brush for this.
6.  Apply MAC Coppering over the inner half of the lid and slightly overlapping the previously applied Soba.  Blend the edges of the two shadows very gently so the colors merge into each other smoothly.  Keep the pressure very slight to avoid the colors disappearing all together.
7.  Apply a thin line with Urban Decay's Loaded (or any green eyeliner).  I have applied the eyeliner towards the outer corner of the eye.
8.  Using a pencil brush, blend the line softly.  I have applied the same green liner along my waterline and used the same pencil brush to blend some Soba along the lower lashline. 
Use a clean blending brush to buff out any harsh edges along the crease, and finish with black mascara for the lashes.

And this is the finished look - I kept the rest of the makeup neutral too with a peach-nude lipstick and a soft blush.

So..umm..I forgot to take a photo of the lipstick or the blush, but if you don't mind a bit of Google searching, it's NARS Tzigane lipstick and NARS cream blush Montenegro.

Not really related to this post -  I stopped by a MAC store today and picked up Blacktrack.  Also wanted to pick up a good loose/pressed powder to set my makeup and keep the oil a bit under control, but I just didn't have the patience to deal with the SAs at the counter.  Any suggestions on a good powder I could try (don't want anything with shimmer)?
