Does your eye makeup usually match your outfit?

[chocolategoddes]

i don't match it but I do "coordinate" it. Like today I wore green eyes with purple shirt. haha... when i typed in "shirt" iit said "shit" and I laughed.

I used to do this all the time. because my friend told me thats how you should do it. And it made sense to me.

I've stopped doing it. I've started doing complimentary colors or just doing whatever colors I want to on my eyes (if i'm wearing jeans and a black shirt it doesn't matter if I have gold and white on my eyes). Sometimes if I'm wearing a certain color, I might put a touch of it in my eye makeup but thats all.

Well, my outfits usually have a color scheme consisting of black, the main color (which is usually a bright color) and another color that's the theme of my accessories and such. I look like I'm in costume every day and it's quite fun! My makeup will usually be the secondary color and match my accessories. I also have a habit of doing neutral eye makeup when I'm wearing a lot of hot-pink.

While I don't think it's a bad thing to have your makeup accent your clothing, I was taken aback by a friend on my friends' MySpace.....she had one of those Coach Scribble bags and her eyeshadow contained one of every color on the bag. Could've been a cute execution, but the poor application made it 180º of UGLY.

I own mostly black clothes (just happened like that). But I don't think I would ever do the matchy thing.

Sometimes. It actually depends on the color itself. If I am wearing bright colors, I won't wear bright shadow or lip gloss/stick. I would keep it neutral or tone it down. Now if I was wearing something in the same range of color, I would either wear the same colors with less intensity or wear it bright depending upon how bright or bold my outfit is.

oh i'm guilty of matching! Didn't know it was a fashion crime...hmm i might try branching out a bit.

Yes, I do usually match the colors of my make-up to my clothes. I only wear neutral colored make-up (beiges, bronzes, coppers, pinks, peaches) and when it comes to clothes I pretty much stick to neutral outfits as well, so I always try to keep my make-up in the same color family as my clothes (usually my shirt or sweater) or at least use complimentary colors, like silver eye make-up with a blue shirt or bronze or copper make-up with a green shirt.

This morning I actually remembered this thread and made sure my makeup didn't match my bright blue shirt lol.

I also do this. After I choose my outfit, I lay out my palettes and decide on the look I want to go for. More often than not the colour complement my outfit. Sometimes however they are just a different shade of what I am wearing.

No! I wear a drab, one color uniform......My makeup gets "themed". One day it is Russian Ballet, T'ang Dynasty, Hawaiian sunset, Bejing Opera, Baroque, 30's film star, etc.

Funny you should say this. I told our Spa Director that I would not wear the brown uniform that was previously chosen by mgmt because it would limit my eyeshadow selections. The rest of the staff is going back to black.

I love clothes and colour just as much as I love makeup, and I tend to be extremely matchy when it comes to my outfit. I never wear jeans and thirt, I always make a combo out of skirt, stockings, cardigan etc, and all in different, but matching colours, never black, so YES!

I always match my eyeshadows with my outfit, sometimes I even get a new eyeshadow if I have a new piece of clothing and miss an eyeshadow colour to match it with.

what ever miss Jay
may say..

I use to be a sucker for matching my eyeshadow to my clothes, but now that I've learned otherwise, I don't. My colors complement each other. For instance last Saturday night, I wore a deep purple satin halter top and black satin pants, but my make by eyeshadow lid color was Gold Mode with just a dab of Smoke Signal in the crease, Blanc Type as a highlighter. The gold looked awesome with the purple top.

I find myself matching up e/s to clothing more than I realize so lately I've been trying to incorporate the color of the clothing I'm wearing, and use contrasting shades of e/s as well so things don't look too "matchy matchy". The color I have trouble with as far as contrast is turquoise. Other than coppery neutrals I just don't know what shade would compliment well without being too loud.

No, I never intentionally match my makeup to my outfit. When I go to class on the weekdays, I throw on comfy clothes and just do the basic stuff (powder, blush, mascara, lipgloss) and go. When I take more time, I still don't match, because being matchy-matchy isn't my style at all. to each their own. =]

 

[sophistichic]

Well I sort of match my makeup with my outfit. But I do it subtly. If you're wearing a bright pink shirt and you have bright pink eyeshadow... Well it's just a bit too overpowering for my taste. I would usually match my makeup with small details on my shirt or pants... or sometimes a belt or even my shoes~
