So the only makeup I do is eyeliner and mascara, sometimes lipstick & highlighter. However, I’ve been wanting to get into more colourful eye looks so I’ve gotten some eye shadows. My problem is that each time I try to wear them, I feel like it looks awkward since I don’t have a full face on. Is it just me being paranoid and not used to seeing myself with more makeup or is this a real thing?
More info: my skin is skin is clear and freckled, not overly greasy or overly dry. I’d say I have good skin, but definitely not airbrushed perfect skin which is why I think the eye looks look weird.
I feel the same. I am very into bold colourful eyeshadow looks and I often don’t want to put on face primer / foundation/ concealer/ setting powder. Especially since most of the month my skin is fairly clear and even. But I do find it looks odd for some reason. On days that I want to skip the face makeup I generally just do a bit of cream blush, highlighter, and either blush or highlighter on the lids as well, and then a coloured or black winged eyeliner, lipstick or gloss and mascara. When I want to do a full face I go full on with eyeshadow
