Do you wear different makeup when you go shopping? I’m a power shopper, to be honest.  I generally hop to the mall to check out new MAC collections these days, but when I get the urge to go shopping for things like clothes, I am a super shopper.  I hit the stores that I know work for me (and my budget), which are stores like H&M, Forever 21, and Express.  Today, I probably went through $200 or so in two hours in three stores (the ones I mentioned), and I actually tried everything on in-store.

I hate trying things on in-store, but whenever I do, I have to wear neutral makeup.  I think it might result from the fact that I prefer to match my makeup to my clothes, so if I’m rockin’ bright blue eyeshadow, when I view myself in a red shirt, it looks sooo off.  I needed a break from dogsitting the two beasts, which meant a nice detour to the mall.  I planned (or thought) ahead, so I just went with a minimal face of foundation and nothing else.  And I came out with plenty of new summer clothes!

What about you? Do you wear different makeup when you go shopping?  Does it even matter to you?

It’s such a quirk, so I thought I would share.   By the by, Express is having a fab sale on all that is summer–tanks, camis, shorts, etc.!
