What is your opinion about makeup?

Any statement at all?

I rarely apply dark shades of eyeshadow like black or purple or green because I think it does not go well with my skin tone. I think it makes me look exhausted and does not do me justice in dim light. I try to stick to different shades or pink or maybe some reddish shades or brandy wine shades. I also dislike ruby red lipstick, or different shades of red. (Again, pinks are my go to colors.) I think scarlet red lipstick makes my complexion more washed out of color than I already am because I’m so light skinned. I envy others who can pull it off.

I enjoy makeup a lot. Applying it calms me down. At this point I’m pretty set on which products I like, and which work for me, but as styles and my skin change I also like looking for products that work better for me.
For myself, I usually only use nude and neutral shadows, usually the same powders I use for contour and highlighting. I don’t use any color on my lips. I [i]like[/i] colorful shadows and lips on others, but they don’t work for me.
