Do you do avant garde makeup looks? Beauty looks more your style?
.
Very rarely, just because it’s not my style or fun for me!

I'm not really sure what would qualify as an avante garde makeup look. I'll wear pretty much anything though. I get few opportunities to wear makeup at work, so when its personal, i dont care if i get stared at for wearing false lashes, rhinestones in the corners of the eyes, winged liners and hot pinks, whatever, to the local tea shop to meet a friend. I just love DOING it, to know that it CAN be done on me. I have yet to make myself look good in yellows and yellow oranges, but when i managed pinks and gold oranges, i was beside myself for weeks! I just love the experimentation!
I used to a lot more but I've been toning it down since I started my teaching credential program. Sometimes though I see a look for like MUFE or MAC and I just have to try it and wear it out.
I think it depends on my mood and what is the occasion. I love to experiment, but I usually don't have time to try anything extravagant. It is great to try more avant garde looks for theme parties though. I would love to try more avant garde/runway looks to post on my website though because it is a nice way experiment with color and product I have and to learn what I can do with them.
I don't pile too much on. I like to get creative with cheeks. I love color on my eyes, although not a fan of shimmer, and I love doing eye designs with a maximum of two shades.
Only when out partying....and special occasions like, Halloween... I keep my look natural in daytime.
On a day to day basis my makeup is pretty neutral with just a pop of colour. I do like creating dramatic looks though. My job allows me/requires for me to be able to do this... and it is sooo so so much fun!!! :-)
