Do you keep track of makeup looks you’ve done? Do you make note of certain combos that worked? Write them down? Forget about it?

I never keep track of anything because I mainly do the same look but change the colors.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Ahh, I do that a lot, too, Ashley!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Sort of, if it’s pretty and cute I take pictures xD.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Me too!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Aww! That’s fun. Do you share your pics or just for your personal reference?
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I write down lip combos, but never refer to my notebook, so I end up with the same combo over and over again, although I have so many lipsticks and glosses!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
LOL, Nell!! I try really hard to avoid repeating, but it’s hard!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Not really, I hardly do the same look twice. Either I change the colors or the technic. I have way too many products to want to repeat anything ;)
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I think I do this a lot, too, Sandy! I have done some looks more than once, but I usually don’t remember what I did enough to do it again!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Nope, wish I was disciplined enough to.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Only this blog enables me to keep a record, lol!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I don’t, but I should! I’ve been “into” make up since forever but just recently started truly studying it, so I’m still figuring out what looks work best for me. If I do something that’s REALLY fitting then I try my best to remember what I did. I should start writing them down. I may venture to the MAC store and buy some face charts.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
You can buy face charts?!??!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
No, but some counters will give a you a couple. SOME of them, SOMETIMES. There’s a template for you to print your own floating out there, I’ll try to find the link and post it.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
You should write down some of your very best looks :) I try to note these myself.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I keep a mental note of the color combos I do. I never write them down.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I do mental notes, too, too bad my mental notes are shoddy!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
If I randomly do a combo that’s really nice I write it down, if I see something that someone else did (including Temptalia) that I want to try, I write it down. I have a STACK of index cards, each one with a different combo. I also have a blog that I put the really really nice ones on.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Aww!! How very cool that you have a stack of index cards, though!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
It’s funny that you would do a topic on this. I just wrote down a combo yesterday. When I really like a combo and it worked really well I write it down. I have a journal that I write down those combos as well as combos that I swatch on my hand.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
That’s awesome :) Is your journal almost full?
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Me too! my blog documents every look i tried, well at least most of it. I rarely copy similar look, though, cos I still learn and love to experiment with my lil collection.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
That’s my excuse, the blog does it for me!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Nah, I don’t need to. My collection isn’t really big enough that forget what looks good on me.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Or maybe you just have a good memory, Dee ;)
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I haven’t so far, but just the past couple days I’ve started keeping track/taking pictures…and I may even start sharing them on the forums here, and/or posting them to my blog that I just started up. It really depends on how brave I am! :)
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Back when my camera was working(its possessed at the moment) I think I took a pic of my face everyday. Some just to say I did and some because I really liked the look of it.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Do you have your photos up for all, or just your personal reference, Dee?
Sorry about your possessed camera!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Pictures are great to document your improvement, too!
I hope to see your looks soon :)
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Yes! Well…I’ve been slacking lately but I generally will note combos I try. I keep track because sometimes I forget if I’ve tried the combo or if I even liked it.
By the way, lovely lily pigment on the lid and passionate e/s is amazing together! My friend told me it should be my “signature” look. Haha.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
That’s awesome! I’m glad some of you guys do! I’ve found that it can be useful :)
Thanks for the tip on Lovely Lily & Passionate!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Yes, I write down my favorites in a book. And I use a myspace album(LOL) to keep track, I just wish I would have wrote some of them down.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Aww, fun! How full is your book?
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I make a mental note, usually. And if it’s really good, I put it on my site. I like to really change up my looks, so I do forget some that I haven’t used in a while.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
:) That’s cool, Trisha. Most of my combos are only due to writing them on the blog, too.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Yes, I just started writing down color combinations that work for me and ones that i want to try. Every time I get an inspiration, I make a note!!!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Awesome! Where do you keep them, Dee?
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
My sister and I try to keep track of the looks we have done all week. We sometimes forget when things non-make-up related get busy. We never forget our most-used looks. One is Illegal Cargo with Shore Leave and Pandomonium for a liner. :D It’s always fun when one of us discovers two shadows that go well together, but we never thought of the combo before.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Aww, that’s very cool, Michelle. :) How cute.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I make a mental note — I am usually pretty good at remembering what I did.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Lucky you to have such a great memory!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
No, I’m terrible at that, LOL
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
lol!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I never made any kinda notes,lolllll.Its kinda funny for me make a note for MAKEUP!!
Zzainy///
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
lol, Zainy!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I try to take pics of everything that i do! Then i put them on my myspace/facebook so i can look at them and get other ppl’s feedback :P
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Awesome :D I do the same (for the blog), lol!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
The only way I keep track is when I take photos of a look and post to my blog and/or a makeup community. But I generally don’t keep track of the everyday stuff. Some looks are just muscle memory by now, anyway!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Yep, that’s how I generally do it, too! Otherwise I’d never remember.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Ummmm, no….I usually just come up with eye looks based on what I am wearing that day.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
You never repeat looks, Tammy? I try to come up with something new each time, but I do repeat here and there.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I have been a bit lazy, but I usually write down what I’ve put on my face in my day planner thing then go back over it later to see what I liked and didn’t like.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
Oh, wow, that’s very cool and organized!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I don’t because I almost always wear the same thing. :)
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
lol, well, what is your signature look, Lydia?
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
i try to write down the looks that don’t work for me, i don’t want to make the same mistakes over and over again!
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
How funny! That’s not a bad idea, though!
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Yep, I certainly do :) So helpful when you’re in a rush! I suck at ‘imagining’ and ‘picturing’ what colours would work with what so I have a list, right next to my mirror with combos which have worked in the past and also new combos to try out :)
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
I love that you have a list by your mirror with both past and new combos!
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
LOL I usually remember what the combos were..if not then I guess (Lots of “O crap thats not what I thought it was” moments) hahaha I also take pics on my camera phone so I have a general idea if something looks particularly nice :D
Thursday, June 12, 2008
LOL, I have those “Oh, crap” moments, too!
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
I write down looks that work, looks that I want to try, experimental combo’s… It’s gotten so bad that I just decorated a notebook to use just for my makeup. Now I’m working on writing everything in there… It sounds corny but I love it. I even write down colors that I’ve got to have and every paycheck I try to buy 2 shadows from my list.
Thursday, June 12, 2008
Awesome! How very cute, though. I love when people get creative with their makeup and things related to it :) I bet the notebook is just full of fun!
Friday, June 13, 2008
I take photos of every look every day.
So if it doesn’t work, I can remind myself what went wrong.
Saturday, June 14, 2008
Awesome! That’s a great idea, Karli!
Thursday, June 19, 2008
Why didn’t I think of this before??? Of course in the past I didn’t keep record of makeup because it’s never ocurred to me but since I’ve been experimenting with MAC cosmetics..not like my mind is made up on what to use and how it’s going to end up kinda experiment…I’ve been really blowing myself away with how good MAC turns out (I’m talking a tremendous difference) and I think I will start keeping record of some sort…if I remember to and if I’m not in a hurry… :p …Now that I look back, I’ve done …let’s see greens, teals, blues, pinks, and grays and sad to say I forgot what I did for each one…bummer.
Monday, June 23, 2008
I’m really glad you’ve noticed a difference in your makeup! That’s so awesome :)

Haha, these past few “Temptalia Asks You” reveal just how OCD I am about my makeup. I’ve been taking pictures of my FOTD for the past couple of months, but it has slowly stopped. I don’t have enough products to have THAT much variation, so my FOTDs have started to repeat. Or, I might get stuck on a look, and repeat that for a few days/weeks until I get tired of it (so no need to write it down, it is routine for that time frame). One of these days, I would like to organize my looks into a kind of look book:
a journal section:
- daily picture with description (I have just been taking pictures, but not adding description)
- what kind of clothing I wore with it (I know, it sounds so OCD)
and a look section for those days when I get stumped:
- sorted by color category, maybe by products.
or if by computer, then if I could somehow sort it like iTunes where you can click on different categories and it will list your looks in different manners. if only… :P
