Good morning BR lovelies!! I was applying my makeup getting ready for work and had a moment where I realized something. I apply colours that reflect my mood at the time and I hadn't realized that before. Usually they are bright and happy colours cause 99% of the time I am exactly like that, bubbly and happy. This morning I have drab and dull colours and zero lipstick. My mood does reflect that. This isn't a woe is me post I just wanted to know if any of you beauties apply colours that reflect how you are feeling at the time?

Not usually. My make up more reflects how much time a had to apply it. Bright red lipstick and eyeliner with no eyeshadow reflects no time, not 50's inspired make up.

I wear make up everyday. I really dont have a plan. My eyes are usually pretty plain, mainly because I'm not really great at eyes. I have way too many lippies so that is my focus. I really do love them so everyday is a different colour. I have tried to pan lipsticks but I just cant wear the same colour for more than a few days in a row.

What an awesome post Shana! I love this.

Personally I think I'm the oppposite of you in some ways (I'm not particularly bubbly though so maybe thats why), and also I don't have that many colourful makeup products. But what I find is that when I'm in a down sort of mood I use more makeup, eg this morning I did a full eyeshadow look where I would usually just smudge some eyeliner in. I think I have learnt when I'm down I need to look after myself and do things I enjoy - eg makeup. Hope I never associate makeup with the sadness though!

Very good question! Because the makeup i do is a lot of practice on play it does depend on how I'm feeling! I could be quite adventurous depending on how happy I was and that'd reflect In my makeup. Dark and gloomy usually come out on a difficult day.

A lot of the time with my make up I'm winging it. I never watch tutorials. I like to freestyle and create looks. I don't have a lot pallettes because I have downsized. I would like one colourful to explore colour more. I love surprising myself.

Thanks for your input ladies. It's interesting to see how people how feel around makeup and application for you individually.

i often apply bright colours when i'm feeling ugly or awful and want to snap myself outta it. When I was depressed the most i wore was black eyeliner and mascara so for me it's the power of suggestions - bright makeup to feel brighter. I think that's why i'm not a fan of nudes, they don't have the same emotional impact on me!
