Temptalia Asks You - Do you ever get stumped on what makeup to wear?

Do you ever get stumped on what makeup to wear? How do you get past it?

.

I usually just try to wear a look I’ve done in the past that I know works. I just let the stump get me for the day, LOL!

HAHAH This happens to me ALL the time. Most of the time I’ll either just do a makeup look I know that works or just skip doing makeup all together. I’ve lost count of how many times i’ve sat their staring into my train case wondering what to do. ><

I do get stumped quite often & I think it’s because us makeup addicts have too much to choose from so you never can decide exactly what combo to do that day. Well, at least that’s what happens to me. I’m always trying to switch it up to give all my beauty items some play time, but i have such hard time making a decision. Therefore, when i’m really stumped, i just go back to a simple look i’ve done before and know i like & is easy to do.

only because i can’t decide….i’ll be like…what about bronze? or violet? or pale gold? etc. and it’ll go on for fifteen minutes until something makes it onto my eyes

Yes, sometimes I have too many ideas and too many looks that I want to do that I almost feel like, paralyzed. So I usually end up doing a really simple neutral look. Or I try to combine many ideas in one and…that never works out too well. Ha!

Eh, if I’m at a loss I just grab a palette at random and channel Tim Gunn (Make it work!). Mostly I stick to gold, pink or brown shades if I’m really stuck.

Or I just give up and get back into bed.
(kidding!)

I do that all the time! I usually just pick one shadow to start with and go from there. Most of the time I end up doing a smoky purple eye. haha. It makes my (brown) eyes pop! Or I turn to youtube videos for inspiration.

Sometimes I get stumped because there are so many colors and looks I want to wear, so it’s hard to choose. How I usually get over it is I just pick what I want to wear first then coordinate.
If that fails, then I just blindly pick a color out my box. LOL

sometimes I do, like today lol…..but most of the time I play something up that I usually don’t or try something that’s been at the bottom of my makeup bag for awhile 😉
