About This Quiz

Leave your purse, wallet or money at home, because in this beauty quiz, we're treating you to all the makeup, hair and beauty products that you could ever ask for! After all, who wouldn't want to stock up on some lipsticks, eyeliners, blush or makeup setting sprays? And while you're out shopping, we'll be observing your makeup techniques and makeup product preferences to find out if you possess more feminine or masculine traits.

The primary use of makeup is to enhance specific or overall facial features of a man or woman. Though it's important to understand that you're beautiful just the way you are, makeup can be used to even out your skin tone, cover up some blemishes and "open up" your eyes. And if you're really skilled with makeup techniques, you can even create illusions on your face with some contour and highlight palettes. Some beauty gurus also create abstract makeup looks that are unique, scary and highly pigmented. 

But you don't need to be an expert on makeup and beauty products to take this quiz! All we require is an appreciation for beauty products, even if it's something as simple as a lip balm. So grab your makeup bag and get ready for an epic makeover with this beauty quiz!
