Your emotions are like the tide: You feel happiest when you're up; you feel troubled at the onset of inevitable energy spikes. Whatever emotions you're going through, know that you can still be beautiful with the help of makeup. Really, there's no excuse for you not to look good, whatever mood you're in. Check out the following list of makeup looks to match your mood.

• GIRL NEXT DOOR. When you're feeling bright, perky and really friendly, wear makeup that makes you look as fresh as spring. Mimicking a friendly come-hither invite, the girl-next-door look capitalizes on innocence and downplays sophistication. If you want to achieve this look, aim for flawless complexion, blushing cheeks and irresistibly rosy lips. You don't need eyeliners for this type of look. The key principle you must pay attention to is light makeup, bordering on the natural look.

• SOPHISTICATED MISTRESS. When you're feeling seductive and as powerful as a queen, wear makeup that lets you dominate the scene and your man's feelings. You know you want to get your way and this power makeup will let you do just that. There's also something just so exciting with clandestine love affairs, so you brush up on heavy makeup to build up the mystery, evade questions and get your business done: black mascara, dark eyeliner, penciled and gelled eyebrows and bloody red lips. Blush on is optional, but if you decide to put on some, choose a shade that's a far cry from the girl-next-door look.

• SUN-KISSED ADVENTURER. When you're feeling sporty, energetic and so ready for adventure, by all means wear this look. As a sun-kissed adventurer, you want to scream to the world your love for the outdoors. This makeup is close to wearing no makeup at all and makes sporting a sweaty, glossy look even much sexier to look at. Aside from your staple sun block or bronzer (if you want a tanned look), invest in brownish and orange hues for your lips and cheeks. Light pink and dark red are definitely out of the question.

• GOTHIC CHICK. When you feel the whole world is against you and abhor perky conversations and pickup lines, wear makeup that says “I'm none of your business, so mind your own.” Black and deep purple have traditionally been associated with witchcraft, grunge art and depression, so ride on with these stereotypes if you're particularly feeling so sad and frustrated to even interact with anyone. Look stunningly drab (pun intended) with flawless foundation, smoky eyes and non-reddish shades. Make an even louder statement by matching your Gothic look with Gothic clothes: elegant black in rock-star form, painted fingernails and dark brown, dark purple or black lips.

Looking friendly, sophisticated, adventurous or scary is entirely up to you. If you want to be unique, create a signature look that not only hints of your mood but highlights your personality as well. There are a number of ways that you can change your look with makeup; happy experimenting.
