Does your eye makeup usually match your outfit?

[Navessa]

i don't always match, but i compliment. like if i am wearing a pink shirt - i might do lavendar or purple.

 

[pugmommy7]

hee, I do too to an extend.
If it is neutral...which it has not been lately at all, then i don't care- but if i am using some bold shades i try to keep some cohesion.

I match mine sometimes. Like someone else said, I try not to make the most prominent color on my clothes the same as on my eyes, lips, whatever. I do love to find a fun color that is really small on my clothes and play it up on my eyes or lips. But it does look weird sometimes when I don't match it, so no matter what the "experts" in the industry say, I am going to do it!

Yep, I usually wear eyeshadow/lipstick/blush that go with whatever shirt I have on for the day. If it doesn't match, it is at least in the same color family!

 

[nakobear]

I usually have a neutral look for daytime and if I'm going out, I'll try to complement my makeup to clothing but I like to wear a lot of basic colors in terms of clothes, so it lets me not clash as much....

 

[user4]

i used to..... but dont anymore... i'll usually match it to accessories a little more... or just contrasting colors that still match!!! like i love the wear pinks when im wearing teal (for some reason, i find that contrast amazing)....

I'll... uhm... plan my outfits around my makeup. Sometimes, I'll search out neutral colored clothes just so I can wear whwatever I want.

I pick up one color that isn't well represented in my outfit and make that my eye make up. Although whenever I'm wearing neutrals & blacks I go a little wild. I looove wearing really bright colors with all black.

If it's a shirt that I just bought and the rest is pretty basic... I will definitely wear eyeshadow in the color of the shirt to emphasize how pretty the color is.

i agree! i've been only wearing black shirts and jeans lately just so i can wear whatever makeup i want

my makeup rules my style not my clothes!

i try to go within the same color range. like today i had a shirt with a geisha print on, it had red, gold, bronzey tones, so i did a bronzey eye. if im wearing something really bright like red, i'll do a bronze/neutral. green or blue i'll try to do some blue or green, but not a TON, that's too overwhelming, too "matchy". but maybe a pink/neutral eye and some blue liner or something.

More often than not, I do my makeup before I decide what I'm going to wear that day, so my makeup choices aren't made with clothing in mind. That said, I do think about my makeup while I'm choosing my clothes. I don't aim to match, but I eliminate clothing choices if I think the colors won't compliment my look well. Like if I'm wearing cool makeup, I don't like to wear a warm colored top and vice versa. I'm more worried about clashing than matching.

Guilty as sin

I do this. I think it's fine as long as it's not like over the top. Like wearing a violet shirt, and then on ly wearing violet e/s lash to lid, ya know.....

 

[blueglitter]

my colours never match my clothes on purpose, but im not very adventurous (sp) with clothes colours thought im a blk/whi/blu girl so most of my es colours tend to match without meaning to hehe

 

[Katgirl625]

Depends on what colros I'm wearing. Sometimes I do, and I either get teased for it, or get complimented. I'll get two different comments:
1) you're so funny, I can't believe you matched your e/s to your clothes
OR
2) That's so cute, I love that your e/s matches your shirt.

I guess you can never win...

 

[user79]

I find it's really tacky when the eyeshadow matches perfectly with whatever top you're wearing. Like, baby pink top, baby pick e/s. Blech!

I usually choose a complimentary colour, or use the same colour but a different shade. Like if I'm wearing a light blue top, I might do a teal eye, or if I'm wearing pink, I'll do a lilac eye. I just think it looks better, and I always read in fashion magazines that it's a big no-no to match your eyeshadow to your clothing, and I agree.

But then again, I also wear a lot of white and black clothes, so I can really do whatever.

 

[Cyn]

I wear a lot of black so I can wear whatever I like, but when I do wear color, my face usually is in the same color family, or I'll incorporate a pop of color that's in my clothing.

 

[PleasureDroid]

Oh, I'm really terrible....
My extensions, makeup and clothing matches always...
I have 2 colours i choose beteen for extensions, silver and pink.
If I'm silver I go silver/grey/white/black in clothing, no exeptions.
and if I have my pink extensions I go pink/black or pink/white..

 

[user3]

Nope, I match my makeup to my mood.

 

[astronaut]

Usually... it doens't lol. It's because I put my makeup on before I get dressed, and when it comes to clothes, I just wear whatever's clean since I don't do the laundry as often as I should

 

[TrusyMyEyes]

I don't choose my makeup by looking at my clothes. While I am in the shower I usually start to think about what shadows I want to wear today. Than I look at whats in my closet and whats clean, how do I feel like dressing. But, sometimes the colors go and sometimes they are opposites, but I don't care.

The only thing I do is I wont wear a bomb outfit with subdue makeup. Bomb outfit gets bomb makeup.

But, I will wear awesome makeup with a bummy or chill outfit.
