1.    What's the best way to determine which foundation shade is right for you?

Explanation

The best way to determine which foundation shade is right for you is to apply it to the jawline and check it in natural light. This method allows you to see how the foundation blends with your natural skin tone and whether it matches the surrounding skin. Applying it to the back of your hand or under the eyes may not give an accurate representation of how it will look on your face.

2. For teenagers, it is a good idea to use an all-over face foundation.

Explanation

It is not necessarily a good idea for teenagers to use an all-over face foundation. Teenagers generally have youthful and healthy skin, so using heavy foundation can clog pores and potentially lead to breakouts. It is better for teenagers to focus on skincare routines that include cleansing, moisturizing, and using lighter makeup products, if desired.

Submit
3.   What shade should your concealer be?

Explanation

The correct answer is one shade lighter than your foundation. This is because concealer is used to brighten and highlight certain areas of the face, such as under the eyes or on blemishes. By using a shade lighter than your foundation, you can create a more luminous and lifted effect on those areas, helping to camouflage any imperfections or dark circles.

Submit
4. As women get older it is ok to continue to use frost or shimmery lipstick and eye shadow.

Explanation

As women get older, it is generally recommended to avoid using frost or shimmery lipstick and eye shadow. This is because these types of makeup products tend to settle into fine lines and wrinkles, emphasizing them and making the skin appear older. Instead, it is suggested to opt for matte or satin finishes which provide a more youthful and natural look.

Submit
5.  _______ tinted concealer counteracts redness and blemishes.

Explanation

Different colors of concealer are used to counteract different skin issues. Yellow concealer is typically used to counteract redness, such as from acne or rosacea. White concealer is used to brighten the skin and can be mixed with other colors to create a customized shade. Green concealer is used to neutralize redness, particularly for those with red or inflamed blemishes. Blue concealer is used to counteract dark circles under the eyes. Therefore, yellow, white, green, and blue tinted concealers can all be used to counteract redness and blemishes, depending on the specific skin concern.

Submit
6. If you have blue eyes the best eye shadow color(s) to use are

Explanation

Warm browns and peaches are the best eye shadow colors to use for people with blue eyes because they create a complementary contrast. The warm tones of brown and peach enhance the coolness of blue eyes, making them appear more vibrant and intense. These earthy shades also help to bring out the natural beauty of blue eyes without overpowering them. On the other hand, blue eye shadow may not be the most flattering choice as it can clash with blue eyes and create a monochromatic effect. Purple and pink eye shadows can also work well with blue eyes, as they provide a contrasting pop of color.

Submit
7.   How often should you wash your hair to keep it soft?

Explanation

Washing your hair every other day is the recommended frequency to keep it soft. Washing your hair too frequently can strip it of its natural oils, leading to dryness and damage. However, not washing it enough can result in a buildup of dirt and oils, which can also make your hair feel less soft. Therefore, washing every other day strikes a balance between keeping your hair clean and maintaining its natural moisture, resulting in soft and healthy hair.

Submit
8. Powdered bronzers are great to use at any age

Explanation

The statement suggests that powdered bronzers are suitable for use at any age. However, this is not necessarily true. The suitability of powdered bronzers depends on individual preferences, skin type, and age. While some individuals may find powdered bronzers suitable and flattering for their skin at any age, others may prefer different types of bronzers or may find that powdered bronzers emphasize fine lines or wrinkles as they age. Therefore, the statement is false as the suitability of powdered bronzers varies from person to person and age to age.

10. When choosing your foundation color it is best to test the foundation on what area?

Explanation

When choosing your foundation color, it is best to test the foundation on the jaw line. This area is typically the closest match to the color of your neck and chest, which helps to ensure that the foundation blends seamlessly with the rest of your skin. Testing the foundation on the jaw line also allows you to see how the color looks against your natural skin tone and undertones, helping you to find the most suitable shade for your complexion.

Submit
11. According to the CDC, how often should you toss your mascara/liquid eyeliner and get a new one?

Explanation

According to the CDC, it is recommended to toss your mascara/liquid eyeliner and get a new one once every 3 months. This is because these products can become contaminated with bacteria over time, which can lead to eye infections or other issues. Regularly replacing them helps to ensure the safety and hygiene of your eye makeup.

Submit
12. All your beauty tools (like your eyelash curler, tweezers, and eyeliner pencil sharpener) should be sanitized regularly. How often should you clean them?

Explanation

Beauty tools should be sanitized regularly to prevent the buildup of bacteria and maintain their effectiveness. Cleaning them once a week helps to ensure that they are free from dirt, oils, and germs that can accumulate with regular use. This frequency allows for proper maintenance and hygiene, reducing the risk of infections or skin irritations that can occur from using dirty tools.

Submit
13.   When should you toss your blush or foundation?

Explanation

Blush and foundation should be tossed after one year because that is the recommended shelf life for these products. Over time, the ingredients in these products can degrade, causing them to become less effective and potentially harmful to the skin. Additionally, after a year, the product may start to separate or change in texture, indicating that it is no longer suitable for use. It is important to regularly check the expiration dates and quality of makeup products to ensure their safety and effectiveness.

Submit
14.   How much eye shadow should you apply?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Up to the brow bone." This is because applying eyeshadow up to the brow bone creates a balanced and well-blended look. It helps to define the eyes and create a more polished appearance. Applying eyeshadow only along the bottom of the eyelid or just up to the crease may result in an incomplete or uneven look.

Submit
15. Which color lipstick is best to make your teeth appear whiter?

Explanation

Dark colors that are blue- or purple-based are best to make your teeth appear whiter. This is because blue and purple undertones create a contrast with the yellowish tint of teeth, making them appear brighter and whiter. Bright red lipstick may make teeth look more yellow in comparison, while dark brown and orange/peach tones may not have the same whitening effect.

Submit
16.    What is the best way to apply foundation?

Explanation

The best way to apply foundation is to apply one dab to the chin, one on each cheek, one in the middle of the nose, and two on the forehead and blend upward toward your hairline. This technique ensures that the foundation is evenly distributed on the face and helps to create a seamless and natural-looking finish. By blending upward towards the hairline, it helps to avoid any harsh lines or uneven patches.

Submit
17.  How long can you use a disposable makeup wedge before replacing it? (Not a makeup sponge)

Explanation

Disposable makeup wedges are designed for single-use only. Using them for more than one application can lead to the accumulation of bacteria, dirt, and oils, which can cause skin irritation and breakouts. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the disposable makeup wedge after one week to maintain good hygiene and prevent any potential skin issues.

Submit
