Jenn- "Do choose your make up style for the day first or your outfit and then decide on make up and does it matter? Sometimes I want to go for a crazier eye color than realize it just doesn't seem to go with my outfit or maybe my outfits too wild so I need a more subdued eye color, your thoughts? and then also whether you change your make up with the seasons? I've seen a lot of "fall looks" lately but have never really thought of fall or spring make up and finally...setting sprays....your thoughts?"
and here it goes....
I guess there is always some relationship between what i'm wearing and the makeup i choose. when i'm rocking something simple in color or monochromatic, i feel the need to go hard in the paint.. literally. lol! brighter colored clothes usually warrant darker or neutral colors on my eyes; and lips r a go no matter what and purely based on my mood. if u feel like ur outfit is too much for the look u want on ur face, maybe tone it down just a bit... or tone down what ur wearing. i think everything should be based on mood with a conscious regard for where ur going. but never be afraid to give the BOOM effect with both ur makeup and ur wardrobe.
i don't necessarily change my makeup style based on season, however... i do change my wardrobe with the seasons so.... i guess there will be a bit of a difference. i won't use yellows, aqua blues and hot pinks quite as often during the cooler months cuz that just looks silly with a turtleneck (ha! i don't wear turtle necks!). but will u suddenly see me with pumpkins or snowmen tatted on my lids or find me ever wearing red and green shadow together because it's december? no... that's not going to happen unless there's a contest involved. i am a fan of these burnt oranges, burgundies, and greens finding their way onto faces everywhere... but i'm still not convinced that the season should dictate the busting out or hibernation of certain colors... i will smoke it out all year and add a pop of any color to my inner lids all year.
setting spays... i have used one from elf and i liked it. i don't find it necessary for everyday since i don't do much, but i do use it on clients to make sure their look lasts thru whatever it is that they're doing. nobody wants their makeup to quit before they do... but a primer on the eyes and brows and clean, exfoliated & moisturized skin usually holds onto makeup pretty well.
so.. there that is. ;-)

Awesome!! Yeah you answered all my questions. Next up: Tackling whether all colors are for all people. For example you mentioned "burnt oranges, burgundies" I can work with a burgundy but no way on the burnt orange. I just don't know how to make it work with blonde hair and blue eyes. Are some shades better left for certain skin tones?
