What're the weirdest colors you've worn together?
What e/s colors have you put together that were so different/weird that if you told someone they look at you like you're retarded...

My oddest combo was chartruese and maroon shades with a few similar colors thrown in...It looked great but I dont know wtf I was thinking when I pulled those colors out.. It started as random playing but turned into a nice look

What about you?

I guess it's not really that weird, but lately i've been pairing purples like parfait amour with turquoise and chartreuse type shades. It actually looks really pretty!

one of my fave looks is chartreuse pigment, cool pink pigment, and violet in the crease.
I also love blues with oranges in the same tone of color.

Parrot, D'Bohemia, and Lucky green. Hit it with a dash of Blue Peep and it really rocks,...

The weirdest was probably Jasmine and Trax. It looked like my eyes were bruised but it was kind of cool. I also did Parrot with Paradisco once, and that was nice. I like blues & oranges together like bluegrassbabe Blues and browns sound strange when you tell people, too, but they usually turn out pretty well....

Today: Penny shadestick as base, Pink Papillon on the lid, and Rule in the crease (Phloof! to highlight). I like pink and orange together. Maybe I'm strange? I also did a look with Jest on the inner corner of my eye and Juxt on the outer, but I liked that, too. Peach and green is another favorite.

This is why I'm a librarian and not a makeup artist

My favorite MA wears steamy and paradisco together and it looks amazing. I like wearing coppering all over with freshwater as my eyeliner. Weird, but very pretty.

I use lots of contrasting colors. :P I'm a walking "don't" but lots of people come up to me to say that they like it so I still do it. I like blues and oranges together. Yellows with purples, reds/maroons with greens. Fun stuff.

A lot of what you all seem to be doing is using complimentary colors, and tertiary triads. You might want to do a bit of googling or pick up a book on color theory, might give you ideas for other unlikely groupings that look (surprisingly) good together.
