I like either red lips and a gold-themed neutral eye or an intense black smoky eye with pale nude lips!

Thanks to CeeBee for this question!

Depends on what I’m wearing, but most times it’s neutral grays/browns/blacks on the top lid and a bright lower liner coordinating with my top or whatever.

I like to do a purple eye – either bright or smoky depending on my mood. Paired with a glossy pink or nude lip, mostly because after a few glasses of wine I tend to get a bit lazy at reapplying it! 🙂

If the party is a bit more elegant, I love the classic gold eye, black liner and ka-pow! red lipstick.

i like using pigments in my make-up and a sparkly gloss (like dazzle glasses). i don’t have a color preference but usually i go for neutrals since the colors disappear in the clublight anyway 🙂

Beautiful bold red lips and neutral eyes with a dust of gold, or the fully made up ‘glam face’, where lips eyes and cheeks are all made up but there is not focus placed on either lips or eyes. I think this is a very sexy look. 🙂 You know, like in the 70’s. Think Jerry Hall.

I like to follow some kind of theme, and accessorize my outfit to be the perfect match of my makeup. But I’ll definitively go bright, bold and dramatic XD

Mostly like you Christine, nude eyes, winged eyeliner and red lips OR dramatic smokey brown eyes with nude lips. I usually go for the red lips though, just makes me feel that a bit more special 😛

I love wearing glitter on the eyes. My current favourite look would be using black gel liner as a base, on the eyelid, then a black cream shadow, which the glitter can stick to, and then black glitter. Sometimes I even put a little gloss over the top of it. Cheeks and lips are matte with just a tiny hint of colour… kind of neutral toned.

Depends on my outfit mainly but I do a dark smokey eye usually with a subtle blush and/or pale lips. The colors, though not all the time, go with my outfit.

Colourful smokey eye in whatever colour I feel like, shimmery pale gloss, blush and lots of highlighter and/or bronzer. I’ll take any opportunity I can get to go all out with makeup!

As long as I spend around three hours perfecting the look with a bunch of friends having fun, I don’t really care what look I’m doing :] It really depends on what I’m wearing/what I’m in the mood for.

For weddings and formal parties I like having bold color on the lips. For other parties I like to have colorful/glittery eye shadows.

Usually over-the-top Dita Von Teese inspired retro: heavy winged black eyeliner, light eye with the barest hint of crease, false eyelashes, defined brows, red or dark pink lipstick.

Ok love my party look! I pack on a black eyeshadow (carbon for example) and I put my 3D silver glitter on top. Lips I would maybe do a bright pink like st. germain or a purple. Blush would depend on lip color but I would pack the blush on to. Actually now that I think of it my party look isnt that much more dramatic then my everyday look… maybe I should kick it up?

Depends on my outfit for sure! Lately, I’ve been going for blues and grays for the eye color scheme. Neutral lips and cheeks to accompany. Only because I’ve gotten compliments on these colors when I use them 🙂

It depends on the party and my outfit, but if it’s drinks with friends in the evening then I’ll wear colourful smokey eye with glitter liner and lots of mascara, shimmery highlighter on top of the blush and pink lipstick/lipgloss. For a more formal party I would tone the eyes and the shimmer down a nudge, and go for a more bold lip – but I haven’t been to one of those in ages, lol.
