It really depends on the occasion for me and my mood.
I can totally see that. I don’t experiment too often, but when the mood hits me, I’m down.
Usually I experiment, unless i’m in a rush, then i stick to my ‘usual’ style. Experimenting for me always helps me to build confidence in what i can do, as well as find totally new looks. The best bit about being able to experiment is that i know that any look works for me.
Makes sense! I try not to experiment too much out of the box if I’m pressed for time or know I have to go somewhere right after.
Experiment!!! I love to try new stuff…and reading this website encourages me to experiment even more! I’ve been wearing new eyeshadow and lipstick/lipgloss combinations everyday since I started reading this website. Thanks Christine for the inspiration 🙂
Me too 🙂 I always try to do different color combinations, even though they may come out looking similar, LOL.
Aww, my pleasure!
I experiment when I have time, or stick to an old standby look when I am running late. Sometimes my experiment just doesn’t work and I hate starting all over again!
Don’t you hate that? You spend all this time experimenting and it doesn’t turn out right! Grr!
i do a bit of both … there are classic looks that i wud stik to a lot of the time for example i love the smoky eye/pale lip combo. i also try to stick to colours that i know suit my skin tone and hair colour. however the odd time i do like to experiment … bold lips and bright colours. depends on wat im wearing too, different clothes looks call for different make up looks.
That’s great, Emily 🙂 I do that too!
As long as I have the time to make sure it doesn’t end up looking half-assed by the time I have to run out the door, I’m all about experimenting.
LOL! I totally agree 🙂
I experiment daily.. I always allow myself enough time to try something new. If I wear the same look too much, I feel stagnant. And I have so many different colours etc that it would be a crime not to rotate them and try different combos!
That’s awesome to hear, Stacey! I also try to wear a different look each time I do my makeup.
Heh. My number one priority is sleeping in to the very last nanosecond. So… yes, it may be a crime but my newest paint pots have barely a dent!
LOL! Ah, but sleep is such a vital beauty product!
I change my look alot, i work for Estee Lauder and there is always new looks we are trying, although i must say after finding your site, i find myself sat night after night trying some of the looks you have put on here! Keep up the good work!
