Question 1

When contouring, the _______ shade should be applied under a person's cheekbone.

Highlighting and contouring is a process that involves using different products in order to really sculpt and define the parts of a person's face. For makeup lovers who really like to do a full face of makeup and go all-out with their makeup routine love highlighting and contouring and using contour palettes like the Kat Von D Shade + Light palette or the Too Faced Cocoa Contour Chiseled to Perfection palette. Contouring involves putting one of the shades in places like under the cheekbones, the sides of the nose, and around the temple in order to create shadow. Should that shade be lighter or darker?

Question 2

True or false: eyeliner can be brushed onto the eyelashes in place of mascara.

Running out of a certain makeup or beauty product is a total nightmare. It's even worse when you run out while you're in the middle of doing your makeup! Yikes, that's definitely not something that we ever want to happen. But, sometimes things happen. Either you run out of a product that you're using or you totally forget to apply something until you're already out of the house.

Question 3

What does green concealer cover?

In recent years, color correcting has become a pretty big deal for people who like to go all out with their makeup routine and really make their skin look totally flawless.

There are several different colors of concealer that can be used to correct different colors in your skin like redness and dark circles, a makeup lover just has to know exactly which color covers what. What does green concealer cover up?

Question 4

What is this brush used for?

Each brush in a person's makeup collection has specific uses. For instance, you wouldn't want to use your eyeshadow brush to put on foundation because it would seriously take forever and it wouldn't blend in with your skin properly and would end up just looking strange. At the same time, you wouldn't want to use a powder brush to fill in your eyebrows because they would end up too blended and not precise enough which would give you brow powder all over your forehead. That's definitely not a good look either! This brush has a super special use too. What is it?

Question 5

What shape should bronzer be applied in?

Bronzer is a makeup product that is applied to a person's face in order to add some color and warmth to it. Many people use bronzer under their cheekbones and around their temples. There are a lot of different shades and formulas when it comes to bronzer and it seems like just about every brand sells their own version of bronzer. When it comes to applying it, everyone has their own preferences for how much or how little they like to put on their faces. No matter how much a person wants to apply, there is a shape that it should be applied in so it looks perfect.

Question 6

What are these brushes for?

Anyone who loves makeup has probably got a pretty impressive collection of different makeup products, right? Between all those lipsticks, eyeshadow palettes, different foundations, and different shades of blush and bronzer, there are a lot of makeup products that we just have to have in our collection! Another important product in anyone's makeup collection is a good set of brushes. Different brushes have different uses in the makeup application process and these ones are no different. They have thin bristles that are packed together tightly. The top of the brush is cut at an angle so it slants a little bit.

Question 7

Is Tarte sold at Sephora?

Tarte is a makeup brand that makes a ton of different products like foundation, eyeshadow palettes, and even lipsticks and blushes. Some of their most popular products come from their Amazonian Clay line, products that are infused with their special Amazonian Clay formula that helps the foundation and blush to go on smoother and last longer on the skin. Tarte is a super popular brand that is among the high-end brands that are found at Ulta, but any makeup lover will know that some brands found at Ulta are definitely not found at Sephora and vice versa. What about Tarte?

Question 8

Where is Glossier's Cloud Paint applied?

Glossier is a makeup brand that has become super popular in recent years. Even though this brand isn't sold at Sephora or Ulta, that hasn't stopped makeup lovers from going straight to their website to get their hands on some of their products. And with packaging as cute as theirs, who could blame them? Their Cloud Paint in particular isn't just called paint, it looks like it too! It comes in a tube that looks just like a tube of paint and is all white except the end where it shows the color of the product inside. Where is it applied?

Question 9

What brand made this palette?

This super cute palette is called the Be a Mermaid & Make Waves palette. It's shaped like a seashell and each of the pans of eyeshadow inside the palette are shaped like a mermaid's scales that are found all over their tale.

Question 12

How often do dermatologists say makeup brushes need to be washed?

Let's be honest, no one likes to wash their makeup brushes. It's definitely not fun to take them all to the sink and scrub them up to get the foundation and powder out of the bristles but it definitely is something that has to be done! Washing your brushes will make them last longer, help your makeup go on better, and it'll make sure that all the bacteria that might grow inside a brush gets washed out and doesn't end up on your skin and in your pores. Yuck! How often do dermatologists recommend that we wash our makeup brushes?

Question 13

What does mascara do for lashes?

Mascara is a product that is an essential step in the beauty routine of many makeup lovers. This product is applied to the eyelashes and is usually one of the very last steps that people taken when they're doing their makeup.

Which of these Sephora eyeshadow palettes costs the most?

Anyone who has ever stepped inside of Sephora will definitely know that makeup can get pretty expensive. Especially considering the fact that Sephora sells high-end and luxury makeup! Even though some makeup products are totally a huge splurge, it's worth it to pick up that product you've had your eye on for so long and saved up for. Even within the realm of high-end and luxury products on the Sephora shelves, there can be some major price differences. One of these eyeshadow palettes costs more than all the other options, but only a true Sephora expert will be able to tell which one.

Question 15

Is NYX sold at Sephora?

NYX is a makeup brand that is sold at several different stores, including at Ulta. Ulta sells a mix of some high-end makeup and a lot of our more affordable drugstore favorites. That means whether you're shopping for Too Faced, Benefit, Revlon, or Maybelline, you're going to be able to find it at Ulta! Ulta is also now the home to other brands like Kylie Cosmetics and ColourPop, which can't actually be found at Sephora! Pretty exciting, right?

Question 16

What brand makes this eyeshadow palette?

This eyeshadow palette is one that can definitely be found in Sephora stores. The brand that makes this eyeshadow palette has been around since the 1990s and began their brand with a line of lipstick and nail polish in some really unique and totally grunge-inspired colors.

Is theBalm sold at Sephora or Ulta?

For fans of really unique eyeshadow palettes and super cute retro-inspired packaging, makeup lovers don't have to look much farther than theBalm.

Some of their most popular products include their Meet Matt(e) Trimony palette, Mary-Lou Manizer highlighter, Bahama Mama bronzer, and the In The Balm Of Your Hand palette. This brand is definitely a favorite for many makeup lovers, but can it be bought at these stores?

Question 18

Concealer should be _________ when compared to a person's skin tone.

When it comes to makeup, there are some products that really need to be the right color for your skin tone or they're just going to look weird. Although eyeshadow, blush, bronzer, and lipstick can really be almost any shade, depending on the makeup look, and makeup lovers can get super creative with them, products like foundation and concealer aren't exactly products to be messed with when it comes to finding the perfect color. Foundation is made to perfectly match a person's skin but any makeup lover will know concealer looks best when it's not the exact same shade as your foundation.

Question 19

Does Kim Kardashian have a makeup line?

The Kardashian-Jenner family is full of reality and social media stars who we just can't seem to get away from when we're scrolling through our social media feeds and flipping through the channels on TV. Now, when we're shopping for makeup, we see them there too! Kylie Jenner, the youngest of the sisters, launched her own makeup line, Kylie Cosmetics, with a line of Kylie Lip Kits. Since then, her line has expanded to all kinds of different makeup products and makeup lovers just can't get enough of them, especially now that they're sold in Ulta. Does her big sister Kim have her own line too?

Question 20

What body part should foundation be matched to?

Matching foundation isn't always easy. It can be pretty difficult to get the perfect shade of foundation that really blends in with your face and doesn't look like you're wearing a mask because the shade you picked off the Sephora shelf is way too light or way too dark or completely has the wrong undertones. Even though many people swatch their foundation on the back of their hand to check the shade to make sure it's going to match, that's not actually the best place to test it for a color match! Who knows where to check their foundation shade?

Question 21

How often should mascara be replaced?

Throwing out makeup before it's totally empty is definitely not something that any makeup lover wants to think about. It's sad enough to think about tossing out a pan of bronzer after all the powder has been swirled out of it or tossing out a bottle of foundation after we've shaken and poured every last drop of it out. But tossing a product before it's even empty? Say it isn't so! Unfortunately, it is. Just like food, makeup can actually expire and the bacteria that can grow in it after this can be really bad for a person's skin and eyes.

Question 22

Who owns Fenty Beauty?

Fenty Beauty is a makeup line that is owned by a huge celebrity. Many makeup lovers are probably totally familiar with this makeup line because of the fact that, when it was launched, it had a foundation in its line that had 40 different shades. This was a pretty huge deal when the line was launched because of the fact that it meant that every makeup lover could find the perfect foundation to match their skin tone. This singer's line also has a ton of other products like lipsticks, eyeshadow palettes, highlighters, and even body products. Who owns this brand?

Question 23

What are these?

Different makeup products and brushes can come in some pretty unique shapes. There are always brushes and sponges coming out that are really different than other things that were already on the market, like the SiliSponge, a foundation sponge that isn't a sponge at all and is actually an oval-shaped piece of silicone that is meant to blend your foundation in without absorbing any of the product like traditional sponges do. These makeup applicators have a long handle with differently sized and shaped bristles at the end that hold the product and apply it to the part of the face that the product goes onto.

Question 24

What brand made this palette?

For makeup lovers that like soft, pastel colors, this palette is definitely a must. This palette is called the White Chocolate Bar palette and was released some time after the same brand released their original Chocolate Bar palette. The Chocolate Bar palette was a favorite almost immediately for many makeup lovers because of the fact that it was infused with cocoa powder and actually smelled just like chocolate! Um, can you say "yum!"? This palette is similar but instead of having warm, chocolatey tones, this palette was inspired by white chocolate and has sweet and light colors throughout it with a few darker accent shades.

Question 25

Which of these brands did Ariana Grande collaborate on for a lipstick?

Makeup brands do collaborations with celebrities and YouTube beauty gurus all the time. Some celebrities, like Rihanna, Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Drew Barrymore, and Miranda Kerr even create their own brands to sell specially formulated makeup and skincare products that they create themselves.

The collection also had a VIVA GLAM Ariana Grande Lipglass, a glossy and shimmery gloss that paired perfectly with the lipstick.

Question 26

Which of these brands is NOT sold at Sephora?

One super frustrating thing about being a makeup lover is the fact that so many products aren't sold at the same stores. While stores like Ulta and Sephora have a ton of makeup brands and have a lot of our favorite beauty, skincare, hair care, and fragrance products, there are also a lot of them that are either only sold at one store or the other and definitely not both. For instance, ColourPop can be found at Ulta but not at Sephora and Sephora is the home to Fenty Beauty but that won't be found at Ulta. Which of these brands isn't sold at Sephora?

Question 27

What is this?

Just like there are a ton of beauty products in the world, there are also a lot of beauty tools out there. How else are we supposed to apply all our brand new foundations, blushes, and create totally stunning makeup looks with the new eyeshadow palettes we picked up on our last trip to Sephora? This little pink egg may not look like one but any makeup lover will definitely know that this is actually a beauty tool! This tool is meant to be run under water to get it a little damp and then used to blend out foundation.

Question 28

What brand made this palette?

This eyeshadow palette was made by a super popular affordable makeup brand and is a collaboration between that brand and a YouTube beauty guru. Many of us makeup lovers don't stop loving makeup after we're done putting it on ourselves.

Question 29

Are these makeup brushes?

We all know what makeup brushes typically look like. They usually have a long handle and the bristles come straight out of the top of the handle. The bristles can either be thickly packed into it, like with an eyeliner brush where they're just in a flat line, or they can be really fluffy and have the bristles fan out, like in a blush or powder brush that are designed to blend powder out all over a person's face. These brushes have bristles like we're used to seeing but the shape is so different. Are these makeup brushes or are they meant for another purpose?

Question 30

Which Anastasia Beverly Hils eyeshadow palette is this?

Anastasia Beverly Hills is a makeup brand that originally started to become more and more popular in the beauty world for their eyesbrow products but they've become really well-known and loved within the beauty community for their eyeshadow palettes and lipsticks as well. This palette is one from Anastasia Beverly Hills that has some really dark and grungy colors, meaning that it's great for a darker look or to complement some other palettes that have brighter shades in them. This palette has a lot of matte shades like All Star, a matte mauve tone, Edge, a matte mustard yellow, and some shimmery ones like Adorn, a glittery bronze shade.

Question 31

What kind of lipstick comes in the Kylie Lip Kits from Kylie Cosmetics?

After Kylie Jenner started to gain fame for her makeup looks, she launched Kylie Cosmetics. Even though Kylie Cosmetics has a lot of makeup products now like eyeshadow palettes, the first products that were launched within the makeup line were her Kylie Lip Kits. These Lip Kits have had two products in them since they were launched: a lipstick and a matching lip liner.
