About This Quiz
Knowing a little bit about beauty products can take you a long way. Knowing which product is best used for which application is a great start, and it can help you pass this quiz. Understanding how to apply said beauty products will definitely get you a better score as well, but you don't have to be a beautician to pass this quiz (although, it does help). If you've seen YouTube tutorials and beauty hacks that are all over the Internet, you'll probably be able to guess most of these answers, but can you do get them right if you're distracted? As human beings, it is impossible to think about two things at once (you may be able to think of two different things around the same time, but not at the exact same time) and distractions are designed to weaken your concentration (which is what you'll need to ace this quiz).
You may think you know beauty, but we are putting a twist on this quiz. We want to distract you with the pecs, gorgeous eyes, chiseled jawlines and award-winning smiles of some of the most gorgeous men on the planet. Do you think you're up for the challenge? What are you waiting for? Start answering questions to see if you can ace this bad boy.
Mmmm ... Abs! Which of these makeup techniques can change the shape of your face?

Eyes on the question, please ... which tool is best for mascara application?
Wand
Yes, he's very attractive, but in order to pass this quiz, you're going to need to read those questions carefully. Mascara wands are interesting-looking tools that help you apply the makeup to each eyelash individually.
Can you name the beauty product that isn't normally used on lips?
Gloss
Creme
When we think of our lips, we often think about the shape and the shade that we want to present. Some lips can be bold, while others are slightly understated. It all depends on the products you choose to use.

Do you know what kind of foundation comes in a loose powder?
Milner
Vita-Rub
Mineral
Pretty much every kind of makeup is mineral-based, but the greatest marketing plan showed us that loose powder blended into our skin was the healthiest way to put on makeup. It definitely started a trend of blending and contouring.
What would someone choose a liquid foundation over a powder foundation?
They want the makeup to absorb into their skin.

Liquid foundation will cover your face better than a powder foundation. A little goes a long way with liquid foundation, so be sure not to use too much at any given time, because overdoing it can make it look like your face has been painted.
How do you choose the bronzer that is best for your skin tone?
It should be as dark as I'd like my tan to be.
It should have a little bit of red in it.
It should look like a natural tan version of my skin.

Adding highlighter to your makeup routine will help you give your face dimension as well as add a nice glow to the areas that you want to ... well, highlight. This is an important step in contouring as well.
What is the biggest difference between the different types of beauty products for your lips?
Level of pigment

While many just want a muted blush to give them a little contrast and raise their cheekbones, others want a bold blush look, and that is where cream blushes come into play. They are vibrant and bold.
Oh, he has a wonderful smile! What is the purpose of eyeliner?
It adds color to your iris.
It enhances the shape of your eye.
Wearing eyeliner helps you enhance the look of your eye as well as gives you the ability to bring out the color of your eyes. It can also make your eyes look bigger in photos because it outlines them.
Eyeliner gives a bold color, and powders just don't cut it. However, if you're in a pinch, adding a thin line of darker gel eyeshadow around your eyes will give the illusion that you're wearing eyeliner.
