How to Match Your Makeup to Your Mood — Day or Night
If you’ve been feeling moody, you’re not alone — it’s hard work being an HBIC, after all. Thankfully, the beauty world is helping ladies indulge their emotional sides with color-changing lipstick and mood-enhancing, aromatherapy-infused products. So whether you’ve got love on the brain, or you’re feeling low-key agro, go ahead and express yo’self. Below are 16 ways to match your makeup to your mercurial moods, day and night.
#Mood: outgoing
1. Daytime Look: When you’re down to socialize, a playful burst of colorful eyeliner along your lower lashes will break the ice. Reach for trending blue shades of cobalt if you want to be noticed.
2. Nighttime Look: This navy lip slays all on its own, so pair it with natural eyes for your evening look. That way, your enviable pucker takes center-stage to work its magic.
#Mood: Edgy

6. Nighttime Look: Once the sun goes down, snag a haute shade of coral to super-charge your “come hither” stare. Blending your shadow all the way up to your brow line takes feminine charm to the next level.
#mood: SPARKLING
7. Daytime Look: Glitter-lovers know that moderation is key for keeping sparkling slayage daytime-ready. The subtle shine here just grazes the lashes for a tiny touch of bling that’s hella glam. (Photo via Beauty Best Friend)

#Mood: festival-ready
9. Daytime Look: Nothing flaunts the confidence of a bold, badass babe quite like a showstopping lip. This violet shade with its matching eye makeup just became our new fave festival look.
10. Nighttime Look: Once the sun goes down and the sunnies come off, you can finally unveil your inner unicorn. You’ll wow your squad and have the best selfies ever with a rainbow-hued, cat-eye like this one. Meow!
#mood: passionate
11. Daytime Look: Say it all without speaking a word. This berry-red, bitten-lip with its smokey and burgundy accents is only *just* tame enough for the daytime.
12. Nighttime Look: Come nighttime, our eyes say it all — so drop the bitten lip for a full, matte pucker. It’s time to bring out the falsies and apply a rich ombre eye (that’s better than revenge).
#Mood: playful
13. Daytime Look: The daring hue of pink contrasts with powder blue and purple for the type of soft, pastel look that promises vacay-level fun.
14. Nighttime Look: For your evening look, don’t be afraid to swap out your matte shadows for vibrant metallics in darker shades. Then add a subtle cat-eye accent FTW.
#Mood: fashion-forward
15. Daytime Look: Give the glossy eye trend a spin with a poppin’ shade like yellow. To score the avant-garde glisten that’s all the rage, top it off with eye gloss, then swoon over your fashionable lids.
16. Nighttime Look: Turn your yellow shadow into an OTT golden eye that looks “high fashion” from your lids to your brows. Next thing you know, you could be traipsing down the Met Gala red carpet.
