Why on Earth would I match my jewelry to my eyeshadow?!?

The other day a friend and I were joking around about matching jewelry (I prefer an ecletic blend rather than matching) and she asked "do you ever match your jewelry to your eyeshadow?", to which I replied "of course not!  That would be ridiculous.".   Then I realized I had matched, at least a little.  I was wearing gray and silver that day and I had on neutral eyeshadow but I had put a line of turquoise eyeshadow underneath my lower lash line which matched my huge turquoise cocktail rings.  Accident? Yes!  Bad Idea?  Well...not necessarily.  Sometimes we learn from our accidents, don't we now?


I like to think of my makeup as just another form of my creative expression, so I play around with colors just like I do with my jewelry.  So I snapped a little pic of my eyeshadow yesterday, which was a combo of light pink, rusty peach, shimmery peach and purple (yeah, I know- it's hard to see!).  I was wearing peach and gray so I wasn't about to wear peach jewelry.  Usually with this particular ensemble I wear rose quartz, black or sterling, but I decided to grab some purple earrings to see how it looked.  Result?  It worked!  I didn't end up wearing purple because I wanted to wear some crazy necklaces instead, but here are some pics of the jewelry that would go with my eyeshadow.

So it wasn't such a crazy idea after all....but would you do it (eclectically, of course)?
