For me, it’s primarily based on what I need to test next, so I’m often not making choices that necessarily work together in a cohesive look! On the odd time when I am choosing, I usually start with eye makeup and go from there. I tend to pair cooler eye makeup with cooler lips and cool or more neutral cheeks, while warmer eye makeup often gets paired with warmer lips and cheeks. I usually start with darker shades in the crease and then work my way onto lid shades, usually more shimmery and brightening either on the center or inner portion. Most color combinations are born out of what my eye gravitated toward in a palette or when looking at some singles — and lots and lots of practice playing with various colors and textures over the years!
