How about wearing a bandana? You could get an assortment of pretty colors, play up your eye makeup and wear large hoop earrings. At the gym you
can lose the earrings but a bandana wouldn't look so out of place at the gym?

I hope you all are having more fun with brights than with pastels. I think there are more options with brights.

I can't keep up with this thread anymore. 500+ posts behind... Anyway, here's my birthday Chanel makeover look as promised. I was given a face chart of my makeover and will list the products used.
FACE
EYES
LIPS
This was part of a Saks event, so they had a special Chanel makeup artist on hand. A Saks MUA did all of my makeup before the Chanel artist came over. She did everything except my eyes. She applied foundation which I still haven't gotten around to doing myself yet. I like how foundation evens out my complexion, but I'm not used to wearing it. It kept rubbing off on stuff and looked like it started to cake up in the creases of my mouth and chin whenever I smiled. She also did this beautiful coral lip with #97 Incandescente Rouge Allure Intense lipstick and #427 Envolee Glossimer. Then when the Chanel artist came over to decide what to do with my eyes, she wiped away the lipstick. I was crushed, but it wouldn't work with the eye look the Chanel artist did.
The Chanel artist tightlined my eyes. He applied a little bit of eyeliner at a time and took breaks in between. I was thankful. I love the result. It really makes my eyes stand out, but I don't think it's something I can do myself. It felt so weird! He applied the blue shadow stick all over the lid and the gold one only in the center. I think he used his fingers. He applied black mascara after tightlining. He did it all so quick. I think you can see the eye look better in the 2nd pic. He also said it was the same eye look that Chanel did for the fashion show in Singapore last week.
Next he used his fingers to apply Malice blush to my cheeks and faded it out with a brush. Then he used a lip brush to apply #78 Interlude Rouge Coco Shine for my lipstick, and topped it with #82 Friandise Aqualumiere Gloss. I left the store with my first Chanel gloss. I bought Friandise, but forgot to purchase Envolee. I'm ordering it today. I also left the store with Lime Light mascara; the Saks exclusive Delicatesse eyeshadow quad; and Cinema, Starlet, and Paparazzi polishes.
I'm also proud that I shaped my eyebrows myself for the first time. I did it right before leaving for the event. I didn't want to go to the event with bushy brows. I usually go get them threaded, but I'm lazy and inconsistent with my appointments. I was tired of walking around with unkempt brows and got fed up with having to rely on someone else to do them. I bought a Tweezerman set with tweezers and a mirror during a Gilt.com sale. Decided to open the box to give it a shot. I was very pleased with my first attempt. It wasn't at all as difficult as I thought it would be. I removed a few hairs at a time going back and forth between both brows to make sure they were even. Even the Chanel artist commented to the Saks MUA that my brows looked really good and that she knows how particular he is about eyebrows. He didn't know I shaped them myself.
I went in the middle of the day, so the store wasn't very crowded. But then a handful of people started to gather around while I was getting my makeup done. The attention was flattering, but awkward at the same time. Having all of those people stare at me like that was making me nervous. I had my glasses off, so luckily everyone looked like fuzzy blobs! It was still a lot of fun and I'm happy I went.
