Do you keep track of what makeup looks you do?

Yes! With this blog 🙂 That’s kind of how it all began — an archive of the looks I had done!

Not really
Nope
Only the ones that came out looking really nice on my face. but most of the time I usually just wing it.
For sure NOT. Maybe one day though…
Just recently I started a look book. It has been great when i`m tring to find a look for the day. Sometimes i just throw something on and it doesn`t look good.
I’m taking pictures and save them : ))
Yep, exactly, with my blog. I’m glad I started it so long ago. 🙂
Kind of, with FOTD pictures. Unfortunately I don’t always write down what I used, which can lead to frustration later when I want to recreate it!
Of course! If i relly like them, I’ll write down what colors i did and take a pic.
No, never.
Yes! I mail photos of my looks to my makeup addicted friend who live in another city 😉
Yes me too! I also use my blog as my archive for looks! It’s super handy =D
Not at all. That would be a good idea, I guess but the best ones are still in my head and I now that I think of it, I usually take pics. SO I guess I do keep track. Lol
I write it down in a little book, along with what I’ve purchased, swaps I’ve done on MUA, etc. No pictures though, I very rarely get around to taking pictures of me when my make up is fresh, ie in the morning.
I have a notepad where I write down FOTDs I see on blogs, youtube or that I have made up myself. I find it really helps when you have about 100 eyeshadows in your collection and simply can’t remember what you have seen or done all the time.
Somtimes I do but recently I havent been taking pics of my looks
I usually know the last time I did a certain color combination and I’ll mix it up but I don’t pay attention more than that.
Not on a conscious level. I only recall looks I did in the past when I take a look at my blog entries. Each new day is a new possibility to play with all my makeup.
Yes but only by memory if I really liked it. 🙂
naah, not at all
I’d love to, I just wouldn’t have the time!
I just realized that I need to. After a year of doing looks I almost did the same look again. LOL
not really…i do kinda have an idea of what i just did….and what i haven’t done in awhile…but i’m always looking for new ideas….the new ideas put in between the olders looks allows me to have a pretty good rotation when it comes to the colors and looks i do
Yes, I type my looks.
Yep! I take a bunch of pictures, upload them to iphoto on my Mac, and create folders for each look and name them. Things like “kraft lipstick” or “vex and scene” and whatnot.
Yeah i do and i post them also to my blog stalinselectric.blogspot.com !
I do keep track of what makeup looks I come up with. I would wear it and then keep a mental note of how it looks. If it’s a thumbs up, then I would do it again. If not, then I know to not repeat that look or that combo.
heh! That’s what my blog is too! I am a fairly detail oriented person, so it bothers me not being able to remember what’s in things. Even before I blogged it, I took pictures. Took me a while to actually start a blog though, since I couldn’t get good pictures of anything, and I thought it might be egotistical to have one. It still took me encouragement from friends to make my blog public, and actually share the link.
yes I like to!
Technically not since I mostly do the same look.I do tweak it with a different lipstick,eyeliner or what have you once in a while.I do have the ability to remember a different look I may do, but it’ not a biggie if I don’t.
Yes and no. Recently I’ve been trying to take pictures and post them daily but that doesn’t always happen. Sometimes I’ll tweet about my makeup if I don’t have time to do a picture/livejournal entry.
I never do, but I should start. Face charts or swatches or pictures. Something. Some impromptu looks I do are great and some are complete disasters. It would be great to be able to remember what’s what.
Most defiantly! I started my own blog to keep track and show my looks to my friends. The most flattering comment was when a friend told me she tried one of my looks. *Melt* =D
I recently started taking pictures of new looks I come up with.
I keep track of the nail polish colors I wear, but not makeup. I usually do almost the exact same look for work, so it’s easy to remember the few exceptions.
Er…not really. Unless it’s for a costume. And generally, I can remember what I do.
I try to but I tend to erase pics too often lol!
Not at all.
Yes I have a folder in my computer with eye looks that I’ve tried and really like. My memory is not like it use to be so this is what I have to resort to. It works for me.
Yeppers, with my blog and Flickr 😀
I have about 5 different eye looks that I love and have perfected over the years. They are my go to looks for certain occasions if I don’t have the time to be super creative. Other than that I pretty much wear a different combination everyday…I try not to wear the same combination (eyes, cheeks, lips) more than once so I don’t get bored!
Yeah, in my head I guess. I probably should start writing it down though.
If I end up liking it, I usually just take a picture of it… but I don’t keep a list or anything (I probably should though).
No, but I should!
I want to start keeping track because I have this goal to use a different eyeshadow everyday until I have used all shadows that I own!
It’d take a while, but could be a fun experiment that produces some fun looks!
no, as I remember the looks that looked good on me anyway
No, not really.
I have some sort of ‘signature’ look and sometimes I just switch colors. Mostly, I like a retro style with black, winged liner and red lippie.
I love playing around with makeup and like to keep track of ‘looks’ that turn out really well, so I post my photos in my own makeup comm. under the FOTD’s tag, here: http://community.livejournal.com/makeupreviewed/
