How do you coordinate accessories with your makeup? Do they have any impact or relation to how you’ve applied your makeup?
I like to pull at least one color I used on my eyes as a color on my earrings. That’s really the only accessory I wear!

Im not a accessorie person….I wear a piece of jewerly everyday until someone gives me a new one. I have never bought real jewerly for myself (Ive always thought of this as a gift that other people give you…) and the fake stuff I bought I never wore more than twice, at best. I can only wear gold or diamonds, everything else turns my skin green. Silver and sterling dont work for me at all. I wish it did because its a lot cheaper. I dont like watches or bracelets…I remember when I first put on my high school graduation ring…it took me weeks to get used to that thing on my finger. I tend to lose earrings when Im trying on clothes at the store so I have a box full of earrings that dont have a matching partner.
I have a whole system for coordinating my outfits, accessories, and makeup. I wake up and decide if I feel fierce or friendly that day. If I feel friendly I go with warm colors in my wardrobe, makeup, and accessories and change how much eye makeup I wear and how drastic it is depending on how loud I’m feeling (my work doesn’t care how I look). If I feel fierce I either don’t wear anything special (no makeup or accessories or fun clothes) or I wear cool colors, blues, greys, silver accessories, and cool toned makeup. I just associate color families that way. Concentrating on a specific color makes me feel like my look isn’t balanced, so I stick to color genres for matchy-ness.
I don’t ever match my makeup to my accessories–sometimes to a top but not anything else really. I just have a bunch of gold jewelry that i will wear every single day with everything. If I want something more fun, it’ll be in the form of a few colorful, ropey bracelets usually (JCrew makes amazing ones!)
No, as I really do not wear a lot of jewelry.. which has a lot of irony because I also make custom pieces.. But, living on a farm, it’s actually quite hazardous. When I go out, I reach for one of the few fine pieces of jewellery that I have and typically it is my pearls. I have pearl earrings in black tahitian, white south sea, and creamy south sea and a stunning white south sea pearl ring I bought as a gift to myself. I adore pearls and their glowy lustre..they go with everything! Occassionally, I will reach for something I have made, but I’m like a crow with the things I make and I tend to hoard them.. so strange really, but I keep them in case and just look at them. LoL
I tend to wear all black (or other neutrals on occasion) when it comes to clothing, so the only “color” I wear comes from my makeup and/or accessories, which really only incldes earring/necklace sets, and shoes/handbags (which *all* have to match). I usually base my makeup & shoes/handbags around my jewelry, though.
It’s usually not much of a problem – most of my jewelry is silver, gold, or a similar neutral. However, when I do wear some of more stand-out jewelry, I’ll try to match my eyeshadow. (Unless it’s a ruby color. Then I match it to my lipstick! :D)
ironically yesterday was the 1st time I ever thought of doing that but I think it was because the rest of my outfit was white.
I kinda do that but not exactly, when I am wearing warm toned eyeshadow I match them with the gold meterial , when I am wearing something cool toned I match them with the silvers.
@ Claire; I do exactly same too.
I usually wear gold, so if anything clashes horrible with that…then that’s a problem. I find that most of my makeup looks good with it though, especially in the summer!
I prefer to coordinate my accessories (usually just earrings and maybe a bracelet) to my outfit. My makeup doesn’t always directly “match” my clothing.
