Are there certain colors/products you won’t use during certain seasons? For example, since it’s spring, do you skip summery colors on the eyes or really bronzed cheeks?
I wouldn’t say I avoid anything, but sometimes I’ll notice something I do is kind of “summery” during a non-summer season or the look is really “fall” like, despite it being summer.

Hey Cristine,
How u ??Yeah…hmmmm…. I wud use bright colours especially in summer days like Electric Eel or like the radiant green with just a gloss to make eyes look more vibrant.And for winters like kinda heavy eyes like cat eyeliners and smoky makeup cuz of colous we wear, u c!!,Like we often wear darker tone colours in winters and lighter tone colours in summer,isnt it???so matter of fact our matching with clothes again comes in between!!!
Luv,
Zzainy…

Hey Zainy! I’m great, how about yourself?
I do think that the seasons can play a number on our shadow choices, just because of our mood.

Hey Christine, I was wondering if its okay with you if I added you to my blog’s link?
And to answer your question, I really don’t have any limit as to any products to use for certain seasons. BUT I do make sure I never use bright colors for a rainy day or any gloomy weather.
Enjoy your week hun

Sure, Joyce, by all means, please do!! :)
I usually don’t go bright on gloomy days either, though sometimes I will to try and make it not seem so gloomy!

I don’t avoid anything, but I subconsciously pay attention to the Spring. Here in Toronto, it is still hideous, but I have been wearing lots of blues and turquoises with pink lips. If I wear Spring makeup, it will become Spring – lol. In the winter, I usually only wear bronzer when I am wearing warm colors, but once April hits, I start wearing it everyday. It’s not a “rule” that I have, but all of a sudden I think “hey, I need some bronzer”.

I know what you mean, I don’t go “Well, I won’t wear THIS,” but I often find I”m not in the mood to wear that color!

I pay attention to the seasons, not the “Spring”. I guess I do have Spring fever!
Thursday, March 6, 2008
lol, Critty ;)

i am waiting for summer constantly to put on more heavy bronzer. i really like more dramatic looks in winter or holiday season
Thursday, March 6, 2008
lol!! Aww, Gracee. How long til Summer hits your parts?

As long as the look goes with the colors I’m wearing or the look I’m going for, I don’t really care. I do avoid, like, pink and green combos and other really seasonal things like that unless I have good reason. For example, it’s still about 50 degrees here but it’s been sunny like Spring, so I started spring early and wore my Springtime Skipper with Perky pot. I insist that winter end NOW!

Yeah, I always feel really weird in red/green when it isn’t Christmas, LOL.
But yes, winter, go away!

I don’t really pay attention to the season. It’s just whatever mood I’m in. It really depends on what I’m wearing that day.

I think I’m very much like you, Monica, but my mood can be altered by the season, too.
Monday, March 3, 2008
I don’t avoid doing anything just because it is in the ‘wrong season’. However i do take some inspiration from the season i’m in – simply because i’m paying attention to my clothes.
Thursday, March 6, 2008
That makes total sense! :)

I don’t so much pay attention to it as a rule but I do notice that I tend to stay away from red lips during the summer time. I think summer calls for more pink glosses and a less made up look. Red lips goes really well with a herringbone skirt, a white blouse and a wintery look :) If I was going to rock red lips during the summer I would do it with a gloss instead of lipstick.
Thursday, March 6, 2008
I agree with pink gloss and less made up look for summer!
Monday, March 3, 2008
i suppose i’d feel quite odd wearing dark blue or dark purple eyeshadow in summer. so i usually do more pale or bronze/gold colours during summer days, but for night time anything goes!

Hey Anna!
Makes total sense ;)
Monday, March 3, 2008
i don’t usually avoid any makeup
but i don’t really like red lips in the summer
Thursday, March 6, 2008
Yeah, it seems like that’s a trend!
Monday, March 3, 2008
Wow, your doing so much work on your site. It’s looking fantabulous!
I agree with the other ladies,I don’t use dark lips in the summer, And I tend to keep the entire look at little lighter for Spring and summer months.I think everyone looks a little better with some sun(either fake or real tan) therefore I don’t do foundation for summer(it always falls off) anyways), but maybe a little tinted moisturizer(with spf, of course) if I feel the need.

Thanks, Jules! Lots of work, but it’s worth it :)
Monday, March 3, 2008
I agree with some of the others above, no dark lips in summer and no heavy bronzer in winter. I like a more natural look in the summer months. PS – your site looks great!
Thursday, March 6, 2008
Yeah, I don’t really bother with bronzer at all during the winter either!
Monday, March 3, 2008
I usually match my nails with the season. For my make up, though, any colors that match my mood or clothes will do.
Thursday, March 6, 2008
What color are your nails right now, Pia?

I WOULD WEAR ANYTHING ANYTIME! its fun to break the rules and play with d seasons a bit and the result can sometimes b amazing … for example i noticed there was a lotta glitter and red lips on the spring summer 08 catwalks and as we all know heavy glitter and red lips usually belong in the fall/winter domain, however the effect was really beautiful i think. i wear bronzer all season round too, it really doesnt matter as long as u are comfy with yourself and ur own look.

It can definitely be fun to break a few of the rules :D

In late spring/summer, I don’t wear foundation or eyeshadow, but I do wear bronzer, but I usually wear peachier “warmer” colors for blush etc., because it goes with my tanner skin much nicer. In the winter, I usually wear foundation and eyeshadow, no bronzer, and some “cooler” colors. But I don’t really follow these rules ALL the time. It really depends on my mood.
Thursday, March 6, 2008
Sounds like me, Madeleine! I agree that it can definitely depend on the mood!
