Bright/bold make up is the only make up I wear, usually 🙂
Yes, but soo easy for me to get away with it, I wear glasses and that seems to play it down a considerate bit!
xo
Same. I love glasses!
I LOVE bold makeup and whenever I head out, I use smthg bold, cuz on other regular days at the office, im boring with just eyeliner! 🙂
rarely. i want to, but i’m not sure how to put a bold look together.
Nope! Never! I don’t think I can pull any eyeshadow off =(
Pretty much every time I apply makeup it is something would bright color.
Yep. Every single time I wear make-up. I don’t think I’ve ever worn a neutral look.
Sometimes when I´m in the right mood!
I wore a TON today, blues, pinks (kinda turned purple in the crease which was awesome!) but if im going to do something, im going to really go for it. Neutrals are just kinda….blah rather wear no makeup.
Yes, not as often as I’d like lately but I’ve been slowly working my way back to bold.
Yes! Sometimes it’ll be bright/bold colour but more often it’ll be more toned down. All I’ve got is color e/s and like 2 neutrals. ;P Colour is just so much fun – but I tone it down to neutrals at family parties. I don’t want to give them a heart attack from the colours b/c they’re not used to that.
All the time. I’ve been trying to do more natural toned looks and it’s a lot harder for me. lol 🙂
Same here! lol
I like to balance my makeup – brights looks and neutral looks – but i’m more often than not caught wearing bold makeup. Love playing with colors and exaggerated looks. Ha, funnily enough the beginning of my freelance work was doing drag makeup for photo shoots… this would totally explain my love for color and exaggeration, haha.
Oh definintely and as often as the mood strikes lol
i love bright/bold makeup. i wear it when my mood takes me, which is quite often! today i’m wearing girl about town lipstick by mac, and air guitar glitter liner by urban decay.
For the job the boldest is black winged eyeliner or rapsberry, matte lips. But when I’m off the job there is no limit!!
Rarely, I find I lean a lot more towards neutral colours now.
yes , i love bright eyeshadows
Almost exclusively!
yes i love bright colors 🙂
I am learning to do bright makeup. Before, I used to have a very light hand, and usually they looked very ‘nude’ and natural.
Every day.
yeah quite a bit but i prefer neutrals at the moment, i go through phases 🙂
yes i do, and very often! well, as often as i wear makeup, which isnt that often. i love bright bold makeup, especially the lovely jewel tones.
Hardly! I get embarrassed wearing colored eyeshadows and eyeliners because I don’t know which colors suit my skin tone. Plus my eyeshadow applying skills are terrible. The only bold color I wear is red lipstick..
No, I never wear bright or bold make-up. I’m a fair blonde and a bright or bold look makes me look like a dragqueen. In the summer I wear a coral gloss and/or a coral cream blush, but that is as far as I go.
Definitely! It’s what I like to wear 99% of the time. Either on the lips or the eyes.
most definitely! although not as frequently as I’d like to. While I love bright colors, I don’t like people looking at me funny 🙁
LOL. That’s always in the back of my mind when I wear bright/bold colour – funny stares, or even worse those dirty looks that totally say “I’m judging you based on your makeup!”
But ignore them. You don’t know them so they don’t matter. Just go for it!
Yes! I always love a bright lip but a current favourite is a bright matte colour in my outer-v, with a matte peach lid. I like oranges, peaches, corals at the moment.
No. It just doesn’t look good on me
Never have liked bright bold colors.
I definitely do! As often as possible, but work restricts me a bit.
No, not really.. :/
I try alot at home but when I’m going out I feel like I’m going to look like a clown or something.
I really have to start experimenting more with more bold colors and find the confidence to wear them 🙂
Yes, occasionally. I wish I could more often but I work in a fundraising often so I have to toe a line. I do wear lots of bright eyeliner with neutral shadows, and occasionally I’ll come in with a really bright or bold eye just to test the waters…and I usually get no reaction, actually. But I try not to push it by wearing it every day, I feel like that’s asking for a talking-to. I don’t wear full makeup a whole lot on weekends, but if I’m going out with my boyfriend or to a party or something I will always go colorful because I can, dangit!
I wear bright eyeshadow quite a lot. Bright lips almost never.
Mostly bold but I am going to be 45 in March and I want to wear all my brites before I get too old to wear them. LOL
Me too. If I wear light neutrals, it doesnt show up that well. So, I usually wear bold makeup behind my glasses. At least a matte brown and a bright color for the lids.
Hell Yes! If it’s not bright, then it’s dark and smoky. I’m fair with black hair, so I find I look very odd when I try to do a “nude” or neutral look. I keep it toned down with lighter lip colours.
I haven’t worn coloured eyeshadow in months (I go through phases haha) but this week I started wearing them again! 🙂
I try to. Mac Sushi Flower is baffling to me though, I’m thinking maybe in the crease, so that my whole eye isn’t PINK. Hahaha.
Yes. Everyday, even to work and I work in a corporate office. I am a woman of color and I am not afraid to use bold colors. I love dramatic eye looks A LOT! I like to look like I’m wearing makeup, but in a nice way. 🙂
Lately, more and more. I don’t really get to wear makeup at work(I work in a male dominated field, and being a young, fairly attractive woman ALREADY works against me a LOT, so its just “asking for trouble” from the guys I work with if i show up looking like i’ve put effort in. Even neutral makeup calls attention to my “ladylike” tendencies, and makes my colleagues, and the others at work, take me less seriously, get aggressive if i ask them to do something, etc. I have to “butch” myself up as much as possible)
So anyways, when I do my makeup, I want to FEEL glamorous, and girly, adn bright, and all of that. So I do a lot of experimental looks, bright makeup, etc.
I sometimes wear purples or greens…If it is neutral colors , I tend to go dramatic or bold with them… I know most people say those are “night” looks, but since I don’t go out at night to places that “Night” looks are warranted , I do my night looks during the day lol
Why Not? I ask…hehe
I would say about 5 days a week i wear bold eyeshadows. I absolutely love to play up my eyes. And for all those out there who think they cant do it just try it with a nude lip. It always works. I do enjoy a neutral look about twice a week.
I do, especially around the eyes. I mostly go for a combination of green, violet or blue sparkly shimmery bright eyes. I normally don’t wear blush until fairly recently, and I also love coral and orange and beige lips colors
Yes, all the time, I love bright looks. The brighter the better.
Often. I’d say I do bright/bold at least half of the time. I just really like bright colors. It goes with my personality.
Yes quite often. I love to do a bold lip the most often because it is very effortless and when I have time I would do a bold eye. I love to alternate between bold and subtle looks.
Yea I do! When I’m in a rush in the morning I do a mostly neutral look but as often as I can I try to squeeze color in. If I have time between the gym and classes, I’ll go bright and colorful. And if it ends up looking a little weird, I just blend it out with gray or brown eyeshadow so it’s a colorful-neutral :-p There are such great color products out there now that I figure why not take advantage of the fun?
I love colours, so I will wear colourful eyeshadows practically every day. Not necessarily bold, but bright and colourful. Today it’s pinks. Yesterday it was blues, the day before, purples. I don’t really like neutrals, might as well not bother with applying make up if it’s going to look like I didn’t. I also have a lot of lovely lipsticks and lipglosses, pinks, purples, corals, some neutrals, to suit every mood and eye colour. 🙂
I absolutely wear bold makeup. As a woman of color, I think it’s important to show that we can. I wear bold lips to work all the time. It’s a pretty casual environment. I even wear hot pink lips to the store. I have to be me.
Anytime I can get away with it (which is more or less all the time). Life is too short and bold is more fun.
Yes, evenings and weekends but not for work.
Every day! 🙂
I wear mostly slightly smoky neutrals + eyeliner and stuff, but i think that when I’m older i’ll wear more bolder makeup (:
The only time I don’t wear bright/bold is on job interviews and at funerals.
Yep, pretty often. 🙂
All the time! Today I’m wearing UD Fishnet and Ransom. =) I think it’s easier for me to get away with though because I’m Asian with a very small lid space AND I wear glasses too! LOL.
Never! i really want to but im not sure if i can pull it of lol
Totally! I usually do in the Summer more for some reason… I guess summer just screams bright colours – hot pinks, bright blues, teals and purples (vibrant grape anyone?!?!) 🙂
It depends on the time of day…during the day time I don’t wear anything but lipgloss but if i’m going out at night I will go all out with bold stuff especially by Make Up For Ever!
I have a very early wake-up call on the days I work, so I usually just do eyeliner, blush and lip balm. The blush and eyeliner are generally bright if I’m feelin’ it. On my days off, I go bright. I figure if I’m going to wear make-up, then I should have fun with it.
Nope, never! 0___0
I’m terrified that people could see that I have make-up on! (and I know it defeats the purpose but…)
Yes, but recently I’ve been sticking with neutrals.
Only because im too lazy to search for the bright makeup out of my stash first thing in the morning.
Nope..I stay to neutral colors only because I feel like bright and bold clash with my complexion…and I something I think certain colors are too loud to wear to certain places I go..lol
Depends on my mood. I do tend to wear a stronger eye than I do wear a stronger lip though.
Not as often as I used to now that I work at a cosmetics company that doesn’t sell many bold, bright colours! I still have ’em stashed away, though!
i wear bold/bright makeup about 5 days a week, and love every minute of it!!
Of course I do! Everyday almost.While I’m still young!
All the time, even at work, well done of course.
Who made the stupid rules! Break them!
I sometimes wear bright coloured make up but I rarely go all the way and bring the colour above the crease, because I think that’s a bit too much on me (I’m quite pale).
