Does your eye makeup usually match your outfit?

[AudreyNicole]

I am just curious what the majority vote is here. I usually do my eye makeup to match my clothes. If I am wearing a pink shirt, I wear pink on my eyes, etc. Do you do that or do you wear something totally different? I read somewhere that you are supposed to wear complimentry makeup colors, not exact matches. For example, if you wear a green shirt, wear purple on your eyes. So... does your outfit determine what makeup shades you wear on any given day?

Well I have to say I am a little guilty of matching my eye makeup to my outfit, however I think what you don't want to do and what they mean by this is say you wear a turquoise shirt and you only wear turqoise e/s on your lid I think that would be too much. but if you say incorporate turquoise in your e/s look with maybe some brown.for instance aquadisiac with amberlights and romp would be nice am I confusing you?LOL! Just use colors maybe in the same family range but not the exact color. also look at a color wheel if you use the opposite color family in the color wheel of your outfit color it's supposed to be complimentary. I hope this helps more than confuse you

I just don't know how to mix the colors around you know. I'm still learning. =)

Well,sometimes I match my eye makeup to my outfit,sometimes I don't!It all depends on my mood!But I always try to have on colors that match!For example,sometimes I wear a green t-shirt paired with purple eyeshadow!

Not usually. As long as it doesn't clash, I'm normally happy with it. Then again I wear a lot of neutral (usually black) clothing and while I favour bright/intense eye makeup it isn't a problem.

i sort of do things out of order. if im uninspired as to what to wear, i do my makeup first based on how i feel and then match/coordinate clothing accordingly.

I match my makeup to my clothes.

I match it.. for example the other day I did a yellow-green-turqouise eye, but when I was finished I realized my green shirt had a stain on it. So without thinking i put on a red shirt.. I looked soooo funny and horrible. So yes, for the most part I match to my shirt.

Yeah, I just try to do it so it compliments, not clashes my outfit. For example, once I was wearing this gorgeous jade green singlet and without thinking, I really felt like red lips so whipped out MAC powerhouse lipstick, and when I looked in the mirror I looked like a clown dressed for christmas!! Hmm...maybe thats just an example of my idiocy

Sometimes it does...depends on my mood really.

 

[JGunnar]

Not really. I usually just take a second to look at my colors and think "Hmm, what kind of look do I want to go for today?" and then I go on from there. Majority of the time it has worked out well.

 

[sigwing]

I do, but if it's a color I wouldn't normally pick, like a teal or lime green, I blend something more subtle into the crease, and/or at least pick a shade that's not totally horrible with my tone. I always try to follow the theme if I'm wearing something with blue colors, reds, oranges, pinks, whatever. And I'd never wear pink lipstick with orange or red toned clothing, but then again I don't wear really pink lipstick anyway.

sometimes i match my e/s to my shirt. usually what i do is if i'm wearing a red shirt with say, a blue design i wear blue. if i'm wearing turqiouse with brown accents, i wear brown. i usually match it to the accent colours, or the colurs of my accessories.

 

[amourbliss]

i dont match my makeup to my clothes for me thats to predictable. i usually get dressed and then look at my shadows and whatever combo comes to mind i do it!!

 

[giz2000]

I have never matched my eyeshadow to my outfit, and when I do someone's makeup, I usually don't match it either (unless they absolutely insist)...

 

[Renee]

I normally do the matchy thing. To me,it makes you look put together .

 

[kimmy]

most of my clothes are black...so i kinda just use whatever colour i feel like that day hahaha

 

[Pootle_around]

On ANTM Mr Jay once said never match your eye-make-up to your top.
I never match eyes with clothes for that reason. As long as I don't clash I'm not bothered.

 

[Jennifer Mcfly]

Ugh, I never match my eye m/u to my clothes! I want my makeup to stand out, not blend with my clothes. I like contrast
