For me, it’s really based on whatever I’ve recently bought. I tend to involve those new purchases into the look I’m doing at the time!

i usually don`t have inspiration,to be true… i know how to do my make`up and it looks really good,but i like to diversify the make`up look,so i watch fashion shows,tutorials on youtube,stars on the red carpet,beauty editorials… may sound stupid…. but this things never cease to keep me inspired 🙂
New products Ive bought, new makeup collections, what Im wearing, a certain look Im going for, a specific colour combination that Ive seen somewhere… Really, everything around me inspires me to do pretty makeup, haha 😀
I also love looking at peoples FOTDs online to get inspiration 🙂
Usually my emotions. If I wake up feeling down, I wear brown to warm me up, its like a comfort thing. Colour effects my emotions and mood strongly, so I use makeup to balance me out when I feel off. If Im feeling pretty good that day, or Im going somewhere special, I do my makeup to reflect my mood.
I mostly get my inspirations from favourite celebrity make-up looks..love Nicole Scherzinger, Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears at her prime
I think a lot from runway shows and places like this or Specktra!
For me, its based on my mood pretty much, I dunno where but Im always coming up with great ideas. I think Im self inspired
Although I have started collecting pics of looks I like, I never feel adventurous enough to start and try recreating them. So my biggest sources of inspiration are bloggers and YouTubers.
I get inspiration from magazines, pictures of celebs online and tutorials on blogs and YouTube.
Well I got a lot of inspiration from you ofcourse, from Karen, Makeup Beautyblog, some Dutch blogs and the Make up artists at MAC 😉
From Youtube mostly, that and my fantasi 🙂
I get inspiration from Fashion magazines, colors within clothing, playing with new makeup purchases and Mally Roncal!!!
I get a lot of inspiration from magazines, celebs and you.
A lot of times, my inspiration for a daily look comes from the clothes I am wearing & the color combos they have on them. When I am itching to do something more out of the box, I draw inspiration from beauty blogs, youtube videos, fashion mags, etc.
Yeah new products I’ve just bought or looks I’ve seen in tutorials or in magazines or on telly. I try to link things in with what I’m wearing but sometimes I do it the other way round and my clothes match my make up. I tend to do a huge colourful look if I’m not feeling my best, it brightens me up and bit and i can hide behind it easier.
Makeup blogs like yours and Karen’s, editorials on current trends, sometimes other women on the street, but i think for the most part is just my mood or if I’m inspired by a bright/dark lip or an intense smokey eye…
I love experimenting with my makeup – lately I’ve been uncovering some shadows I haven’t worn in a while. It’s the equivalent to shopping in my closet to freshen up an old wardrobe!
From blogs, youtube, just from seeing what I have…from clothes(like if i see a color that i wish was an eyeshadow). Definitely magazines, red carpet events. From other people’s makeup.
Anywhere really. Blogs, magazines, catalogs, celebrity gossip blogs, youtube, MAC face charts, runway, etc.
Base on what I feel like and the occasion, the products I recently bought and I could see which colours I would like to work with. Graduating from a design program, I can easily dream up tons of looks without too much help.
I circulate my make up and try to use everything at least twice a year (I have a big collection), so tend to pull out certain products that I use any given week, eg this week I’m using my YSL eyeshhadows/palettes. So my looks are based on whatever products I’m planning on using that week, and I wear clothes according to that too. Sounds anal, but I need to do it like this, otherwise I’d never use half my stuff, lol.
Youtube videos but its mainly what is in my imagination.
I think alot of my inspiration comes from things I see at work. I work in a “crafty” type store. I may decide one day to try to copy the pattern on a piece of scrapbook paper or something weird I saw the day before. Odd, I know!
I Get My Inspiration From Youtube Videos And From This Web Site Lol So Thank You! 😀
For evening look:
runway, magazine, celebs, bloggers and youtube gurus like u.
For daily makeup:
mostly the color of my clothes and my new products.
