Smokey Gray/Silver & Purple Makeup look with Morgana Cryptoria

Wearing this cranberry red turtleneck with this look made me think about fashion "rules". One that I learned when I was young is that you shouldn't wear makeup to match your clothes as it can be too matchy and look washed out. I don't really follow makeup/trend/fashion rules except for some (shoes should match yo' belt) but I do understand the washed out thing. However, from time to time, something I'm wearing will inspire a makeup look, which will result in matchiness!
So do you wear makeup to match your clothes, or do you wear whatever you feel like? I think I'd be too stressed if I tried to match my makeup and clothes all the time. I should be glad I mostly wear black tho. It matches everything!

All Holos-Gleam is MUCH more sparkly in person!
 
 
 
 
 


I was being silly for the last 3 full face pics...
 
 
Who is this person?! Holy crap I look like the troll from Willow!

Umm...that's the best troll pic I could find. Can you see the resemblance? Please tell me someone knows this movie! I love Willow!

  1. I love your photos and you always amuse me when you make random faces, you remind me a lot of a friend of mine actually when you do that.
    Amazing make up as always.

  2. Beautiful!

    Also (and I mean this totally as a compliment) has anyone ever told you that you look like PJ Harvey circa 1995-1996?

  3. omg my siblings and I watched that movie allll the time growing up! Those trolls always scared the CRAP out of my sister and me lol >.<

    Pretty look, as always! I don't think it technically "matches" since the purpley color is kind of an accent; you have the silver and stuff in there too, so it "goes" but doesn't "match", ya know? ;3

  4. WILLOW = MY CHILDHOOD. I love that troll photo of you hahaha.

    Your lip colour is beautiful! I don't match my clothes to my outfit, because I pretty much just wear all black. >_> Occasionally I'll wear a bright tshirt if I legit can't find anything else to wear, and even then I'm just wary of wearing red with a green shirt in case someone pays me out saying Christmas came early. :P

  9. Haha! Willow! That made me laugh and no you don't look like that troll but that comment cracked me up! My kids and I will sometimes make the goat sound, "Wiilloowwww" like that old lady who turned into a goat would do, just to be goofy.

    I love Azalea Blue, so bright and pretty and I need to get more of her eyeshadows. I'm so poorage right now.

    Another pretty look- thank you!

  10. Gorgeous look! And yes, I loved Willow too!!

  11. I reckon there are waaay to many rules that we're s'posed to follow so I generally just do what I want and hope for the best. I mean if I was wearing a completely purple outfit then I'd probably avoid purple eyeshadow but that's about as strict as I get :)

    Love the pink lips! I'm so jealous cos my lips are really small and thin so I kinda have to stick with light nude/pink shades lest I make them look even smaller. It sucks :(

  19. Love this look! I usually wear black so I can wear any shade then, but if I do have a shirt with some more color it happens that I match it a little =)
