Youtube gurus! Gurus that go all-out on looks. I hate watching 'wearable' tutorials just because it's nothing I can't think of myself. So I watch more 'unwearable' tutorials & do my own rendition. I love creativity so it just pumps my make up adrenaline.

^ THAT video is my all time favorite look of all time, I go off of this so much for most looks I try. The Pixiwoo girls are great for inspiration!

I get a lot of makeup inspiration from Youtube gurus, especially the ones like xsparkage who do crazy eye makeup. I also like to look through everybody's pictures here on Beautylish for inspiration.
I love looking at magazines and pictures of celebrities when it comes to hair.
For style inspiration I like to watch OOTDs, specifically from YouTubers who are really into thrifting. I feel like they are a lot more open-minded to different types of clothing and have a lot of unique pieces.

I get inspiration from magazines, pictures, etc. Anything that is super colorful and striking generally gets my attention quickly.

Besides fellow Youtubers I get a lot of inspiration from movies and magazines. Or sometimes I pick a random colour and Google image search it, not just for makeup shots but anything that comes up!

Everyone is different with what inspires them. Some have to look at tutorials, some in magazines and others anything can inspire them. A bag of skittles can be inspiration. Look all around you. EVERYTHING is inspiration : )

hmm sometimes i just sit at my make up table and do something completely out of the box and out of my comfortzone with my make up. i end up really digging through my collection and find new combinations or products i forgot i had

I usually get a lot of inspiration from either aquatic life or different species of birds. They have such interesting colors and patterns to them that it's hard not be inspired!

i think my inspiration is what I am wearing for the evening or to wherever i go...i like to kinda match or coordinate my makeup with what i wear..
As far as just fun makeup i like to look at scenery pictures and pick and choose the colors from them.

Inspiration is different for everyone. As an artist you need to find what inspires you. I love bold colors, will prints, and playing with texture. When ever I see an inspiring look, photo, color, etc, I take a picture, save an image, or clip it from a magazine and keep it in a folder. Then, when im having a creative brain fart, I can reference to those ideas!
