I'm a make up junkie, I love buying it, trying it on, experimenting with different looks etc I have a 'look' that is my fallback if I'm short of time and I was just wondering:
Do you have one make up look that you stick to or do you like to try different looks?

I don't wear make up anymore because of allergies but when I did I had a daytime look and an evening look. Usually the lighting for evening was more muted and needed a bit more work but even if the lighting was good I might change colours for the evening just for pizzaz.
Now what you see is what you get. Ho hum. Beats red itchy bumps and runny eyes.

I am a make up minimalist. I have one look, day or night. Foundation, eyebrow, eye liner, little beige eye shadow, mascara, and blush...........and I'm done.

I don't change up my make up too much. My basic everyday look is just foundation, mascara, eye brow gel and a little blush. When I want a little more I'll add a tiny bit of contouring to my cheeks, eyeliner, eye shadow & lipstick. I'd love to be good at makeup but I seriously lack those skills. When ever I try, I don't feel like myself. I guess I have to let myself get used to it.

I have two routine looks - working from home/weekend (just undereye concealer, a tinted moisturizer, simple eye - mascara, light eyeshadow, thin liner on lash line- and gloss) and working at the office (undereye corrector and concealer, highlighter, light contour, foundation, blush, brow gel, shadow, liner, mascara, lipstick).
When I got out, I play around a little bit more.

No make up for me. Itchy eyes are not attractive on anyone. Lol
The last time I wore it, I think electric blue, teal, purple mascara were in style!

Do you have one make up look that you stick to or do you like to try different looks? Just one basic look that works for me. It's my "going to work" look, and it's all I got. I suck at applying makeup. It doesn't help that I don't feel confident with my face in general, so putting on something that draws attention to it really makes me uncomfortable. I wish i was the kind of woman that looked really beautiful with make-up done. I've gone to make up counters in Macy's and have never liked the results. I went to the Clinique counter, the Bobby Brown counter, and the Bare Essentuals counter. I think the problem is my face.

I wear makeup everyday. Usually the same look.
I do switch up my eyeshadow since I have so much of it.
I wear the same basic shades of lipstick, usually go lighter in the summer months and darker in winter.

Yes I do have a basic look so I wonder if I should stop buying other colors because there's only so many weekends in the month for me to rotate between my lipsticks which I don't do. I only wear lipstick when I go out at night, not to work.

I think the problem is my face. I'm 100% sure it isn't. I think sometimes on make up counters the goal is just to get as many products on your face as possible in the hope you will buy them all. I started wearing make up at 13 and have just always loved applying it. It's definitely a practice makes better thing. I'm good at eye make up but my attempts at contouring are hilarious. My eye make up is what I change up most often, I have a basic base, concealer, highlighter, blusher routine that stays the same. I also wear a lot of different lip shades depending on what eye look I do.

I have my basics, my everyday stuff but from time to time a different style/colour/product/look catches my eye and I'll try it and probably wear it for a while. I guess it's mostly the colours stuff I experiment with these days. At my age I'm well aware what works for me overall....I know that my eyebrows are thinning so beefing them up a bit is essential and I know what product works best, I have tried every under eye brightening product under the sun and will always stick with Touch Eclat now, I have tested hundreds of mascaras and only found one that doesn't give me panda eyes etc etc. But I do try out new eye or lippy colours, new textures of blush etc.

I usually change my eye makeup up, but everything else is pretty basic. For all the crap i've bought I should be playing a whole lot more!

My make-up look is 'wear just enough to enhance, without looking like I'm wearing any'. I've stuck to it since I was 12 and tried lip gloss for the first time.

I enjoy playing around and trying new things. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I watch beauty videos on YT fairly often, try to keep abreast of what's available. Mostly I play around with different eyeshadow colors; I've found I can even wear a bit of sparkly (frosted) shadow if I do it right.

I too am a makeup junkie but I go for a fairly minimalist look. With summer here, I'm going even lighter with a few regrets. I decided yesterday to skip eyeliner, and I had a couple of co-workers ask me why I looked so pale. Really? I guess eyeliner makes a big difference!

I'm an addict. I lay out my makeup like my clothes every night, and I switch it up quite often (I try to only wear the same look two days in a row, max). I'm a huge fan of eye shadow so my looks usually start with that and trickle down.

my makeup look is simple. eyeliner.
I'm not big on the whole Kabuki-Kardashian caked look. I hate the feel of product on my face especially since I'm prone to break outs. if I have a special event to go to, then I do light powder foundation, mascara, brows and lip color.

I don't wear make up most days. When I do, it's pretty basic. Wash my face, put on moisturizer,a little bit of CC/BB cream, curl eyelashes, little mascara, lip gloss and done.

I do the same makeup everyday. With time and experience, I know what works for me and what doesn't(goodbye 1980 something....purple and blue eye shadow and frosty pink lipstick). Thank goodness, I figured out my color scheme, years and years ago. In retrospect, I looked somewhat like a clown in my teens and early 20's....but I thought I looked totally hot! LOL!! I have a couple lipstick colors, one is a bit more bold, so I tend to use that one for more dressy type situations. Otherwise, the rest is the same, no matter the day, time or occasion.
I do like to try new makeup, but the colors usually fall within the color scheme that looks good on me personally. When I try new products, I am usually looking for quality. Meaning lipstick or foundation that lasts throughout the day or evening.

I'm a brunette so my makeup look is paler shades (eyeshadow) and a rich toned lip. Not super dark, but I like color. So pale face, strong lip is my look.
If I'm going out at night, then very deep lip color. By day I go lighter on the lip. I love makeup too.

They always apply it so heavily that I look like I'm made up for a Glamour shot. I apply tinted sunscreen, blush, and mascara. If I'm feeling fancy I'll do eyeliner and eye shadow. Half the time people are shocked when they find out I wear make up, so I guess I don't really wear any.

I would love to find a foundation that doesn't make me appear 10 yrs. older! I have tried several and I haven't found one I like. I have a few dark spots that I would like to cover too, but also even out my skin tone.
I would love to be on Kathy Lee and Hoda ambush makeovers! They do amazing work!

My day to day work look is always the same but my weekend and night looks are usually varied. I have been subscribed to Ipsy for the past few months and it has helped me go out of my comfort zone with new products and shades I wouldn't normally buy for myself.

Very minimal makeup here....tinted moisturizer, eyeliner, eyebrow filler, peachy blush, lip gloss and I call it done.

I have the same general look I've been wearing for years which is natural and sheer, so a Tinted CC cream, gel blush, mascara and brush-on brow gel. If I'm going out for a special occasion, I may apply some liner and eyeshadow. I don't like an opaque, dark color on my lips so I have my go-to Clinique Butter Shine shimmery browny-pink lip color.

I just bought this foundation and I'm really happy with it. It's sheer but buildable, and does a great job of evening out my skin tone. I've gotten some redder areas in the past couple years but my skin on the whole looks good so I don't really want full coverage. This magically takes care of the redness and and other imperfections while still looking like my skin.

Another makeup junkie here! I love to try new looks and love when new palettes come out! Its so bad I have a makeup room in my house. Anyway.... Yes I have a fallback look. A look I use when I'm in a hurry and don't have time for experiment with new shadows.

Very minimal or nothing when I'm not going to work or a special event. For those times, it's a full face.
I love bold eye makeup, but I pair that with a sheer gloss or very light color. If I'm going natural on the eyes, then I might ramp up the lip color. Always always fill in my brows and lightly contour my cheeks.
