Good lord, not. It's enough bloody effort to make myself put it on for work, let alone match it. Er, you're joking aren't you?

beansprout · 02/07/2006 20:34

Why the f*ck would I go out dressed in pink?!!!

I must admit I do and if I haven't got a matching one I tend to wear gold/bronze colours

WideWebWitch · 02/07/2006 20:36

And I dress like a Greek widow so if I matched my make up I'd come across like a Goth.

MrsJohnCusack · 02/07/2006 20:36

depends on whether the matching makeup would suit or not. I mean, I could wear some shades of pink, but in general pink makeup would look unspeakable on my face

generally stick to the makeup which I know suits me, but might make an effort with eyeliner/shadow to go with outfit. don't change lip colour much either as wouldn't suit me

oh I am so relieved to see some frivolous makeup threads, I can't tell you!

poisson · 02/07/2006 20:36

Don't wear eyeshadow or coloured nailpolish. The only blusher which suits my complexion is a pale slightly pinkish shade, so never change that either. Only thing I have to think about is lipstick or gloss not clashing with my .

womblingalong · 03/07/2006 15:54

Yes I do, if I have the right make up colours, i.e would use pinky blushers/lip colours with a pink outfit, or turquoise eyeliner with a turq. top etc, but not too obvious, or all the time

JackieNo · 03/07/2006 15:58

Not in a big way, but probably wouldn't wear pink or purple lips with orange, say (not that I have anything in orange, but you know what I mean). Don't generally suit coral lip colours, so not an option. If in doubt (or don't have the colours), go neutral.

puff · 03/07/2006 16:03

umm, sort of - daytime makeup tends to go with anything - for an evening out I think more carefully about it

crunchie · 03/07/2006 16:30

I have 2 current 'looks' One with bright eyeshadow liner (a la Jemma Kidd from last thread) with green/blue thick colour top and bottom. Sometimes I use my blue mascara too

The other is for when I am wearing black or my red shoes, and this is 50's style thick black eyeliner and loads of mascara.

Both 'looks' have luminere foundation (!) pinky blusher, and MAC LUST lipgass lust it is a fab colour

BadHair · 03/07/2006 16:47

No, I wear it to match my hair and skin, or at least that's what I'm aiming for.

MadamePlatypus · 03/07/2006 17:20

More in the sense of having going out make up and other makeup than matching colour. I used to match my electric blue mascara to my electric blue shirt!

mykidsmum · 03/07/2006 17:29

when I wear make up yes I do

Greensleeves · 03/07/2006 17:33

Anyone smell fish? (sorry UCM )

Yes, I do, lipstick/eyeshadow, I would rather wear none than wear colours that clashed with my clothes

Feistybird · 03/07/2006 17:48

I match nail varnish and lipstick - so if wearing a brown top, will have brown/pink nails and lips (but generally not for the school run...)

poisson · 04/07/2006 09:22

"Lust" looks like my clinique one
that did go off and smelled REALLY bad btu once replaced was fine

My sister paints her toenails in the summer. She changes the colour about once a week, and always matches her clothes to her nail varnish! At the moment she is having a "turquoise week".
