Wedding Eyeshadow and Lipstick: Top 5 Contenders

I get married in 6 days. That's six. That's not a whole week.  I am doing my own makeup, despite the many comments of

"Oh, who did you get to do your makeup?"
"I'm actually doing it."
"Oh...so-and-so is really good at it."

Trust me, there is no doubt in my mind that there are 5,000 people better at the techniques and application of makeup than I am. That is not the statement I am making here. My issue is that other people take liberties with my makeup that I simply would not take, especially not on the most important day of my life. The real expert at making me look like me is...me. For better, for worse 'til makeup wipes do us part.

In general, I know what I am using.

Foundation: Georgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation   |    Bronzer: Warmth by Bare Essentials
|     Blush: NARS Taos    |     Mascara: They're Real! by Benefit   |      Lip Conditioner: La Mer

Casablanca by Tom Ford
You see a couple of lip options because I am undecided. The Top 5 include Casablanca by Tom Ford (own), 62K700 by YSL (own),  Tanganyka by NARS (own), Lust by Tom Ford (own) or Indian Rose by Tom Ford (to purchase).

The Top 5 for eyeshadow include Naked 3 Pallet Strange + Limit + Nooner (all matte - own), MAC Sable + MAC Retrospeck (mom owns), NARS duo St. Paul de Vence (purchase), Bare Minerals SmokyEye kit (own) or NARS Key Largo (purchase).

Anyone have any thoughts? Advice? Favorites?
