About This Quiz
Makeup is used to accentuate and highlight a person's facial features, but let's be real for a second. You can't just smear black eyeshadow over your eyes for a smokey-eyed look. And don't even think about just using bronzer for highlight and contouring. Because in the world of makeup, many different techniques are used by the pros. You can certainly learn them too (especially with the help of YouTube), but today, we want to shout out to those who are super skilled with makeup techniques!
So, how would you like to be a makeup artist for today? If the answer is "yes," then you're in for a colorful quiz that is full of eyeshadows, lipsticks, foundations and mascara wands. Because as a makeup artist, you'll need all kinds of tools for every type of client. Maybe your BFF has super dry skin, which means you'll need to pack tons of moisturizers. Or perhaps you have a client that wants to completely alter their look, which may call for the magic of highlighting and contouring products. But hey, what do we know? You're the expert here. So tell us more about your makeup skills so we can guess what eye color lies behind your personality!
