Temptalia Asks You – Do you save photos/looks you find online for later?

Do you save photos/looks you find online for later? Why/why not?

.

I have a few saved, but I usually don’t copy looks so I don’t have any real reason to save them. Occasionally an ad or avant garde look will capture my attention, though! ;)

wow. i toootally didn't see this post when it came out. Haha, actually I was doing a c-drive cleanup and I had actually saved a few of yours and leeshas from a thousand years ago. Forgot I had them. :D

I don't save them or bookmark them. I actually bookmark artwork & photos to inspire me to do a look. I've lost inspiration lately, but I hope to get back into it. If I do copy a look, I put my own twist to it.

Sometimes, if I really love the look. I really love your looks, so I have some of your looks saved on my computer, but I always give you credits for pictures :)

Yup! I have a makeup folder of my looks and others that I want to attempt to recreate. Such great ideas.

I don't really save any online looks, but I also haven't had tons of time to do so (just graduated university). I *do* plan on going through all my magazines, though, and keeping any looks that strike my fancy!

Yes. Sometimes when I'm shopping online I like to refer back to the items that I copied/saved. Also, it helps if I want to try out a fotd at a later time.

I do! I'm a noob to make-up, and I usually do the same thing over, so if I see something I like that seems a little advanced for me, I save it for inspiration and to copy techniques and stuff like that.

I only save facecharts off the mac site. I don't really ever save actual people's makeup; although I love watching YouTube tutorials and looking at blogs. :)

yes, I'm still new at the whole make up thing so i saved them as reference and inspiration^^

I do save looks I find and like mainly for inspiration. I keep them for Idea purposes. And They're 97% celebs whose style I admire.

Oh My God - all the time!!! I'm dragging and dropping constantly. I'll google image search with product names - see how people use it and drop it into a folder. I do this for pictures of things I like: hair color, hair style, clothing, makeup looks. Anything that I think looks good - I drag and drop into my folder and then I go through it once a month to see if I want to try anything or to delete stuff that I'm not interested in anymore.

Yes I have been saving pics of the Viva Glam looks. Im really digging those. Christina,Fergie,and Pamela Anderson especially.

No.. I used to. I made a big notebook, copied down face charts like at the Mac store. It was too much. I'm Mac ADD. It confuses me and I just get too excited. Normally if I see something.. like from BBR.. I'll go up and try it. Saving stuff for later.. not a good idea for me. But thanks for askin!

I've never saved pictures before, but I really like to watch tutorials and check out photos of peoples looks. I learn a lot from seeing what others do & the techniques they use.

I save photos online, because I use them as inspiration. I don't exactly copy a look, but I like putting my own twist on it, or using it to add to another look

I sometimes do a FOTD or EOTD on my blog so I just keep that if I ever need to refer back to them :)

Strange question. I've never saved anyone else picture. I genuineluy enjoy watching other girls' make up and often feel a lot of admiration when they post pictures of it but I don't copy anyone and only do according to myself.

nope, but I try to remember things I like

Yes but usually really "out there" stuff for Halloween. I'm a dork who looks forward to my Halloween costume every year that I spen dall year collecting stuff for costume ideas. this year I'm leaning towards an anime look. So if anyone has some suggestions, tips, etc they are greatly appreciated :).

Not really. If there's something I want to do, odds are you've done it, or an approximation of it, so I just come here and see what you used and work it out from there.

i do copy some looks from Blogs...especially the ones who have my complexion. Is easy to keep some 'complicated' looks handy!!!

Yeah i do this all the time, i'm better at copying than creating. i also like to see different cheek - lip combinations from my usual ones!

Yes...mainly close ups on Rhianna since we are the same complexion. She tries all kinds of colors with makeup and it shows me things I can try.

yea but i never recreate them. Usually i never have the same product they use in the video.
