Quickie post today! David and I had our 7th wedding anniversary yesterday, and I thought I’d share my makeup details.
(Seriously loving the reflection of Toronto in the windows behind us… why did I have to discover this NOW just before we move??)
For those curious, we went out for dinner at The Elm Tree on Elm Street in downtown Toronto and had some delicious Mediterranean food! (Dress is from Target, by the way.)
Since the 7th wedding anniversary traditional theme is copper, I wanted to go with some kind of a copper-coloured eye look. However, I don’t think I pulled enough orange/rust into the look, so it’s mostly just a warm eye look!
I used the Stila liquid glitter eyeshadow in Rose Gold Retro all over the lid, and then pull in a bunch of shades from the Urban Decay Naked Heat palette (Sauced and He Devil through the crease, En Fuego and Ashes through the outer corner).
On my face is Too Faced‘s Born This Way foundation in Porcelain with NYC Sun n Bronze in Fire Island Tan as my bronzer on top. I’ve got Smashbox‘s Culver City Coral blush (Rich Coral) on my cheeks, and then tarte’s Spellbound highlighter to add some luminosity to the tops of my cheekbones. And finally, to finish off the look: Charlotte Tilbury‘s Hot Lips in Miranda May.
Wishing you all a happy Friday! <3
Such a gorgeous look! I still haven’t picked up the Naked Heat yet but you’re really selling it right now haha
I’ve been really loving the Naked Heat – although a lot of the looks come out very similar. Except… today. I tried something different with the palette and I haaaate my makeup today. Oh welll can’t win them all!
Congrats, Chelle! I will also be having my 7th wedding anniversary this year. Go brides of 2010!
I love the makeup look (did not know about the bronze theme), and I also love your dress. A genius idea to wear white. You are beautiful and your husband looks very cute!
Happy Anniversary!
Woohooo 2010! Makes it so much easier to remember how many years ago we got married since it all started on a round number! hah
So for every marriage year there’s a “theme”. And there’s an old traditional theme, and a modern one as well. I think the modern one is a little bit boring, so I usually opt for traditional themed gifts. Gives me a leg up because I’m usually absolutely garbage at coming up with things to buy as gifts!
The white was a semi-accident. I hadn’t been thinking “marriage”, I just actually own a TON of white dresses. lol
Happy Anniversary to you as well! What month is yours in?
Mine is in October. Husband wanted the binary 10/10/10 date, but we could only book the 9th. Since then he has forgotten that we were actually married on the ninth, so we celebrate on the tenth.
October is my favourite month! And daaang too bad you missed out on the 10/10/10 date… but also kinda hilarious how your husband forgot!!
I love the idea of incorporating the copper anniversary into the makeup look! You looked fabulous! I’ve been to the Elm Tree very nice food and drinks. Hope you guys had a nice night! 🙂
We had a great time and the food was really good! Service was a bit… lacking, but hey, can’t win ’em all!
(Just dropping by to say how cute you two are and how 🔥🔥 Stila’s Rose Gold Retro looks + your hair is lovely + that lipstick shade damnn)
Y’know, I actually thought that patio seat in that IG photo was made of oversized popsicle sticks. Anyways, Happy Anniversary!
OMG! It totally does look like oversized popsicle sticks! I was trying to figure out what the heck the boards were, and never really came to a solid conclusion. They even FEEL kinda like popsicle sticks too. hah!
And thank you! <3
Love what you did! It’s like a bronze eye look on crack! Happy anniversary!
Thanks so much Sharlynn!
