It’s So You! Creating A Makeup Look That Reflects Your Personality

At its best, makeup can be a wonderful source of self-expression. With its wide variety of colours, formulas, and finishes, it can reflect an equally wide range of moods and tastes. But how do you know what makeup look is right for you? It’s rare that we have the time or skill set to test every makeup look we can think of. We wouldn’t have time to try on every possible fashion trend or style either! But with a bit of careful consideration and some trial and error, we can find a makeup look that reflects our personality for every occasion. Makeup can be as changeable as your mood. You don’t have to create a signature look that you will wear every day without fail. But by knowing what suits you, you will find it easy to make a positive impression with makeup that truly reflects your personality.

Quirky Makeup

If you are lucky enough to have a fun and quirky personality, it can be wonderful to reflect it through makeup. It can be a good start to think about what are your favourite styles of product. Then use these as a way to shape your look. Perhaps you love the colours and textures of lipstick, for example. Then a bright lip and a high shine gloss might be a great way to draw attention to your features. It will also show off confidence and creativity. If eye products are more your thing, then get creative! There is a wonderful range of eyeshadows and pigments available that can make your look truly unique. Smudging a neutral brown along the lashline but then adding a pop of blue or another bright colour on the lid can really turn heads. Dial the look down a notch by adding a slick of classic black mascara, or pair with a coloured mascara for a bold and retro vibe.

Edgy Makeup

If you’re a rock chick at heart or love all things edgy and unique, makeup can help you express it. Something stark and graphic might be a great choice for you. A sharp angled eyeliner can add a striking edge especially if paired with fresh skin and just a slick of clear gloss on the lips. Black, grey, and metallic tones look fantastic on edgy girls as they often go with the fashion choices they make. Picture messy hair, a dark lip, and a ripped band tee as a reference. Or distressed jeans, chunky boots and a lived-in smoky eye.

Natural Makeup

Natural girls who like to be fresh-faced and out the door can still enhance their looks and stay true to their personality. Blusher can be the best friend of the bare-faced girl. It highlights your features and makes you look awake even when you don’t feel it. Mascara is always a good choice for widening the eyes and adding focus with minimal effort. If you’re a calm and natural girl, looking into Pantone inspired makeup might suit you too. It’s a concept that is described as a “universal language” for colours, and this year they are soft and flattering shades.

Professional Makeup

There are many times in our life when we will need to look pulled together and professional. It may be an admirable part of your personality that you always like to look alert and well presented. Makeup can be a great addition to a professional routine as it boosts our confidence and helps us to look groomed. A polished, well manicured eyebrow that suits your face shape can add a touch of professionalism to anyone’s look. Neutral colours are a good call too as they are always elegant and timeless.
