I do my makeup first. I use colors/shades that flatter my skin tone, eyes and blush or shadows that do the same. changing  colors to match clothing would mean having to go against my natural coloring with the makeup.

I do wear red and sometimes a pop of pink in tops, but my blush is still a peachy pink and I stay with my pinky/nude lip colors or glosses no matter the color of the top. 

My sweater colors are chosen because they flatter my complexion, so why would I change makeup colors? I also do makeup first so I don't want to get the makeup on my clothes. 

Are you a before getting dressed or after?

I get dressed first.

I don't want to slide a sweater or shirt over my makeup face, so I get dressed first

Makeup first.

My shades are pretty consistent, as I also use shades that flatter my skin tone. 

I will wait until I'm sure about my outfit to select my lipstick though.  My lip color starts in a neutral shade.  Then I can add a second shade to swing slightly in the roses, reds, or other neutral shades, depending on what I'm wearing.

I am fortunate that I can wear an array of colors.  I'll pick out what I'm wearing and choose my blush and eyeshadow accordingly.  Makeup gets applied before getting dressed. I'm always leery of doing my makeup with my chosen outfit on, in case I drop a brush or fumble my mascara wand and it hits me. No, I'm  not always a klutz, but it has happened before.

Even though I don't wear much make up at all, some days none, I would always put it on last.  These days I only use a bit of mascara now and then, so it's easy for me.   Having micorblading for my brows was the best thing I've ever done for myself, I don't even have to think about them.

Makeup and hair first for me.

Usually do hair and makeup first, before dressing. I think I started doing makeup before dressing when I was using the Bare Minerals powder foundations. I invariably would get makeup powder on whatever clothes I had on, no matter how careful I thought I was being. So annoying. I don't use BM much anymore, but the routine of doing makeup first stuck.
