About This Quiz

Makeup is one of those things that make a person unique. Everything from where you buy products from to how much you spend, to the colors you choose all give insight into who you are as a person. But even more than that, it can provide a window view into what type of makeup you wear. Maybe you follow whatever makeup trends are making their way around the internet or you stick to what you know your face can handle. No matter how you decide what makeup to wear, we can guess what it is!

Makeup goes through ebbs and flows of trends just like anything else, and there's nothing wrong with experimenting. There's also nothing wrong with sticking to what you know and perfecting it. A bare-faced look could be in style, but you may prefer a bold look. Maybe vice versa! Makeup is such a personal preference that no one can really say anything about what type of makeup you choose to wear. Stay true to yourself with makeup, and you'll feel the best you possibly can, whether that's wearing a full face or just swiping on some mascara. Want us to guess your makeup type? Answer these questions now, and we will!
