It's true that age is just a number but the makeup you choose to wear throughout your life can make all the difference in the age you're perceived to be. As a teen, you'd do pretty much anything to look like your role model celebrity, even if that means aging yourself 10 years with over done makeup. As you age, most learn the art of less is more. Those who do perfect well balanced bold looks and natural makeup. The flip side of makeup is skincare, which is equally if not more important than your makeup choices. Those who develop a good skincare routine from a young age are likely to keep their naturally youthful glow for much longer without the need for surgical intervention or botox.
We've all seen it and cringed because there's nothing worse than a woman who ruins her natural beauty with too much makeup or a over done face lift. While it'd be nice to dream of all having the Kardashian budget to afford the most expensive makeup, creams, and procedures - that just isn't the case for most.
Luckily, big price tags don't always make the best products and some beauty brands have made it their mission to create affordable products for the everyday woman. The options you pick in this quiz will help guess your age to see if you've learned these lessons yourself along the way or still have a lesson or two in the beauty department. What are you waiting for? Find out if your makeup choices match your age!
