I love to play with makeup. I keep my base the same, but I need very little because my skin tone is very even despite my having Rosacea. I have around 23 shades of eye shadow, greens, purples, pinks, blues, greys, brown, taupe, silver, and white. I have 5 colors of blush, and I have maybe 10 lip colors. I admit I'm an addict, however, I still wear very little makeup.
I mostly use the shadows as eye liner, I use very little blush, I always use a lip color, and mascara. I use brown black mascara, but I have been advised many times to try navy. I never use a make up counter except for foundation matching and to get my mascara and lip colors.
Lip colors are tough for me. My lips are darkly pigmented so whatever I try changes to a much darker color after 5-10 minutes. What I see initially is not what I get as I go through the day. I need to try a color leave and walk around and then check to see if I like it. It's very time consuming.
So, my answer is that I change my makeup almost daily. Sometimes I hit on a combination I really like and stick with it for a few days but never more than a week. I definitely like to mix things up. It's like a big set of water colors.
