Ladies is it a faux pas

I'm a matcher. If I'm wearing an emerald green shirt I wear emerald green eyeliner and rock a neutral smoky eye. I think it looks really good. I think it's a matter of personal preference and how it's applied.

Does it really matter? I didn't even know it mattered :noway:

It's just hard to pull off and that's why it's gotten the bad rap as being faux pas.

Most everything everyone here has said is true. Including the seemingly contradictory statements
"you're face is not an accessory"
"my face is an accessory"

Most perfect statement here that also explains why both those statements fly..."it's all in how you apply it."

There are plenty of tutuorials all over youtube and there are sites where you can play with makeup, fashion, and even makeup AND fashion to decide what look you'd like to achieve. instant message me if you want the website addresses for some.

for now while you're figuring it out and learning whether you can really "own" a bold look stick to the advice given here mostly matchy matchy is bad, "goes" together is good. matching neutrals is okay cause it's like natural tones, right? but matching bold colors you better know what you're doing with application like our beauty "erhower" on the previous page and have that swagger to carry it off.

here are examples of matching that works on top and doesn't work below, don't ask me why I can just tell by looking at them:
top set=good, bottom set=bad

I don't do it myself. I have a few colors that I stick to. Mostly grays and browns.

BUT, I think it can be done subtly if you use a light hand and maybe a color from the same family and not the exact matching color. For example, use a darker burgundy instead of stop light red when wearing a red shirt.

Whatever makes you feel good, go with that

Even though it's not in fashion in this decade (post 2000) to make an exact match, I am finding that the natural harmony-seeking instinct of my human being is still pretty pleased when it sees one.

That being said, I always preferred people wearing clothes/make-up off the beaten path but still suiting them, to the people who are just straight downright all trendy but really nothing extra.

Does it really matter? I didn't even know it mattered :noway:

your fat

I got stressed out just reading this..

I just get dressed.

Everything should go, not match.

Yep, I'm definitely a guy. That sentence made absolutely no sense to me. :P

Dude, I'm defenitely not a guy and I'm as lost as you.

I just wash my face, remove the shine, apply eyeliner to trick the natives that I do own a big pair of brown eyes rather than 2 malicious slits . Eyeshadow ...eyeshadow colour matching...face accesory...what is blush part the thing you get when you do dem nasties? ITS SO VERY CONFUSING.

What? On the rare occasions that I wear eye shadow that's what I always do. Of course whatever I do fashion wise is probably terribly wrong, I learned how to wear makeup in the 70s and 80s!
