Temptalia Asks You - Do you wear the same look more than once?

Do you wear the same look more than once? When you find a good look, do you stick with it?

.

I try not to wear the same look more than once. Even if it ends up looking similar, I end up using shades!

Yes!

At now I’ve only few eyeshadows, all from MAC and all brownish/goldish.

I try to change the combinations, but there is one I think it’s the best for making my eyes bigger. When I want to be perfect, I always use that one! ^-^

I would like to say “NO” coz I try to play with my lipstick colour when it comes to make up.

But mostly it ends up with the dark burgundy lipstick, ahhh. . .

I tend to wear lots of different looks and different eyeshadow colours. If I find a particular combination that I really like, then I will often re-create that look again if I feel like using a shade that I used in that look.

Kimberley Avatar

hehe, yeah I stress that if I try a new colour, or combination just before I get ready for work, I won’t blend properly, and it will be hideous.. so I go safe pretty much, and practice on the weekends!

I’m wearing a hideous “trial” look today. Bleugh. I need to save my new combos for the weekend when I’ve got time to perfect them!

Anna Avatar

I have few looks that I go for pretty often but try to make them better or just change a lil bit 🙂 I only experimant with my make-up when I don’t go out anywhere – need time to get used to it.

Rita Avatar

I have a different look every day, but I often use a certain combination of colours, like from a collection, but the looks are never 100% the same.

Jessika Avatar

I go through phases, I will try something new, love it and then wear it to death! Right now its MAC Scant es, All That Glitters es and Retrospeck es with smudged dark brown liner with a ridiculous pair of lashes. And I have been wearing that for about 10days now! But I feel a change is gonna come!

Well during the week I wear the same typical work safe look. I try to change a few things here and there but the end result almost always looks the same. But when i’m going out I have a little more freedom to try different looks. Just wish I would go out more…lol

viv Avatar

Yes I do… but never days in a row. It’d be a few weeks… but the looks that I replicate are usually the very simple ones. I always come up with different looks though to match my clothes when I go out 🙂

I love creating new looks for myself – But if I’m going out for a special event, a jobinterview or things like that – I always go “safe” – I have a signature look that I know looks amazing on me. It just makes me confident when I know my makeup is flawless. Today f.ex I’m wearing Dear Cupcake e/s all over my lids – and honestly….it’s not really working for me ( I look as if I’ve been crying…..) I was in a hurry this morning, and just didn’t have enough time.

My I give up look is, the smokey white/grey/black. Since it goes with everything, and I typically put on a pale lipstick anyways. I try to mix it up, but that is my signature look.

Nicole15 Avatar

Everyday I grab something different from my arsenal. Although some looks may seem very similar, somewhere in the look I used a different color/shade. There are two looks though that I love & will replicate exactly when putting it together. I think I’m afraid that if I change those two up at all they won’t have the same impact for me. But then again…I should try because that’s what makes this all soo fun!

Brenda Avatar

when i’m really stuck, I go to Black liquid liner (i love Blacktrack fluid line) and pale eyeshadow with pale lips (like vanity’s child or hue). It makes my brown eyes look huge and I love the mod looks.

Jamie Avatar

I would love to have a different look every day but my collection of worth wearing products isn’t that large yet and I like to keep it in the neutrals for work anyway. I’m also not super creative to keep coming up with new stuff all the time. hehe

Naz Avatar

Yea, I definitely rock the same look from time to time. I get lots of compliments, since I love to use bright colors! Plus, I have a look that is the same all the time when I’m in a rush.

Tamara Avatar

When I find a winning combination, I do tend to literally wear it out—over and over and over again until I get tired of it! I need to step up my makeup game because I’ve got a pretty good collection of eyeshadows, yet I never really experiment with different looks that often. I’m a stay at home mom so I don’t really have any makeup restrictions like some people do with their jobs–I just need to find the time to play with my makeup more!

Nadine Avatar

I have a few looks I always reach for. Sometimes in the morning I’ll swatch different colours together on my hand. If they look good together I’ll try it on my face.

Shefali Avatar

For work, I often will work the same look for a week. It’s just easier because I don’t have to keep pulling out different things from my jammed drawers!

Heather Avatar

If I really love a look I create, I will wear it more than once; however, I am always creating new looks, so I usually do not end up wearing the same look more than 2-3 times.

Definitely! I have several tried-and-trues that I go back to when I’m short on time, short on creativity, or just have a hankering for a certain look. 🙂

Katya Avatar

yes i do wear the same look more than once, but i would not wear it couple days in a row.. Im a college student and i don’t have much time in the mornings for makeup , i’ll do actuall make over only if i go out or i want to impress someone of if im in a really good mood

Linda Avatar

Right now i’m trying to use the many shadows I’ve never given any love to and thats quite alot (was feeling very quilty about this the other day, as i love them but I found myself unable to truely justify having so many) so Im not wearing the same combination twice. Although when i’m in a hurry I tend just to reach for my tried and tested looks and i’m forever reaching for my perfect smokey when I’ve going out clubbing (idol eyes, silver ring, knight devine, blacked tied and phloof!)

Andrea Avatar

I repeat looks all the time!!!! One because I don’t have that many eyeshadows and lipsticks, and two because I’m not really that good at putting colours together!

Eleanor Avatar

I tend not too repeat looks. I hardly ever experiment without going anywhere. Normally, I makeup according to how I am feeling, what I am wearing or a new look I found on the web. Afterwards, I never remember what I have used. Hehe!

AshleyBunz Avatar

I love playing with colors and doing different things but I do have a few go to work looks that I do all the time and just mix them up with a bit of color on the bottom lash line to punch it up enough yet still looking work-like

Hanna Avatar

For weekday looks (if I just so happen to have time) I’ll use the same look that I have experimented on the weekends. I don’t like experimenting during the week since I usually have to be somewhere and its too risky playing with my makeup. =0D
Look that I LOOVE : NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Horse Raddish as a base, NYX Blue Velvet for the inner corner, and NYX Mink Brown on the outer corner as a smokey effect. So neutral and easy!

Brigitte Avatar

Sometimes if there’s a look I really like I’ll do it for about 2-3 days in a row while I still remember the combination. Usually after that time I’ll get really excited about other colors and try them out. 😀

DevilishDoll Avatar

There are a couple looks I’ve done more than once. Mostly Sunset B on lid with Stars and Rockets in crease. Today I did it a little different and added Freshwater to the lower lashline.

Rio Avatar

I wear similar makeup pretty often. I never exactly replicate anything, I guess, because I don’t go about things that way. I certainly use the same eyeshadows together often in pretty much the same way, if that is what you mean. I’m all for trying out new things too, though. I’ve done some wild things, and I still wear them out! 🙂

Nathalie Avatar

I have my adored look (dramatic and dark neutral smockey eye with a touch of gold, a soft lipstick or lipglass). This is the one I will more likely wear because it makes me feel really confident and in tune with myself. But I also love to change and wear lighter and softer variant, or add other colors like electric blue instead of gold. I love the idea to have a strong and “signature” look with can suffer variations.

Rossy Avatar

I have a favorite look that I wear when I dont have a lot of time but I want to be safe since I done it for so long (almost a year)I know it will come out right

Zoffe Avatar

I try to wear different looks as much as possible but I do wear the same looks sometimes if it’s something I really like. I never wear the same look two days in a row though 🙂
