Does your eye makeup usually match your outfit?

[Throwaway Style]

A lot of times my clothes are black/white/grey on top, and jeans, so I can really do anything with my makeup, but when I am wearing colors I don't like to wear like blue eyeshadow with a crimson shirt or something, so I usually stick to make-up colors that go well with what i'm wearing or are a similar color.

I agree.

i thought this was a fashion no-no? ive heard and read that one should never match their make up with their clothes so i stopped doing that when i was like 16.

 

[as_cute_as_pie]

to me yeh its nice to a certain extent like if your wearing a nice blue dress you dont want to be going out with orange nd yellow shadow on and green liner do u?

well personally i dont

i find it hard though when you have say 2 colours on and it wouldnt match for that though its nothing a bit of subtle smoky or jst heavy liner cant handle

I go with something complimentary, but not necessarily exactly matching...usually.

 

[melmcc]

Nope...way too much trouble!

I don't always match, but I do try to coordinate. Being that I wear black 90% of the time that's usually pretty easy to do. But say I have a bit of teal on a black shirt I will usually do some teal e/l to make it pop.

I try to stay in the same color family as what I'm wearing. So if I'm wearing blue, I might wear lavender e/s or a plum liner. I usually wear beige and brown e/s so toning my make-up to my clothing is pretty radical for me... I'm also trying to wear more vivid colors...

 

[ostentatious]

I usually wear quite neutral eye makeup. But if I'm wearing something a little more dramatic, I'll try not to clash

I don't think I've ever matched my eye makeup to my clothes...I usually don't do it even when I am doing a client's makeup, unless it's something totally funky...

Maybe I'm just stuck in the '80s, but I like to match, at least to some extent.
I love for my lips to match *exactly,* unless I'm wearing silver, green, blue, purple, or black.
On my eyes, I tread a little more cautiously. If I wear a strong pink or fuchsia, I go totally neutral on the eyes, with browns/beiges/taupes. If I'm wearing a strong blue or green, I usually go silvers/grays on eyes. If I'm in an adventurous mood, I have been known to add small accents of a bright coordinating shadow(turquoise, green, royal blue, depending on my outfit) to an otherwise neutral eye.
I have large eyes that are so green that I've been [falsely] accused of wearing colored contacts, so while I like to play up my eyes, I'm careful not to "upstage" them with lots of bright shadows.

see, i've heard people say you're not suppose to match your makeup but i'm all about it!! i cant wear clothes without matching somehow, at least. if i have a green shirt on, im going to have my shadows darker and light greens then the shirt i'm wearing. im just a color-nazi, I LOVE COLOR!!!!!!

 

[xSazx]

I usually match. Say if I'm wearing a blue top with pink detailing on it, I'll probably wear pink eyeshadow with it. Although if I was wearing a lot of one colour I'd probably just do a silvery smokey eye or something!

 

[slvrlips]

I try to match my e/s with my clothes but because I switch up my outfits so much lately I have been doing very neutral colors so that they blend with whatever I put on

 

[BinkysBaby]

Most of the time, I do match my make up to my outfit. Just recently, I've began to venture out and wear make up that doesn't match my outfit and I actually like that more.

 

[calliestar]

I like to coordinate, but not completely match. If I'm wearing greens, I love to wear neutrally-brown eyes or turqoise eyes. If I'm wearing brown or tan I LOVE green eyeshadow.

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 agree... i usually incorporate an outfit color into my eyeshadow... i am addicted to coco pigment... i wear it with practically any other pigment color, lol....
