Take This Makeup Quiz And We'll Reveal What Every Girl Is Getting For Christmas
The holidays are coming, and we can’t seem to keep our minds off of them. Winter will always hold a little bit of magic. Between the snow, the parades, and all the classic Mariah Carey carol covers playing in the malls the world just feels like a softer place. Loving the people that we meet is par for the course during the holiday season, as well as giving thanks for those gracious family members and hosts who let us stuff ourselves silly at every holiday meal. Family and friends is all well and good, but let’s skip to the heart of the season, shall we?
Christmas presents are, whether we want to admit it or not, something that we look forward to more than all the Christmas specials and kindness that the season brings. Presents are our favorite things to give, as they can make people smile like nothing else. They’re also tons of fun to receive. Waiting to receive our presents, however, is not always fun. Now the waiting game is over. We’re able to guess what might be waiting under the tree this year. Just take this makeup quiz to find out! Personality and general knowledge questions will reveal if the gift is going to be something boring and practical, or something dreamy and fun.
What do Kylie Lip Kits contain?
Those of us that are not lucky enough to have gotten our hands on a Kylie lip kit might still know what’s inside those drip-painted boxes. Kylie Jenner seemed to be launched to stardom partially due to her glorious lips, as well as her top-notch makeup skills. Being part of the Kardashian/Jenner family certainly helped too. What do those famous lip kits contain in order to help us get our own Kylie Jenner lips?
What did people do before using blush?
This surprising fact is one that we might have been told by our grandparents. Growing up thinking that it’s an old wives’ tale means we might not remember the right answer. Blush didn’t always exist though, and this action served as a replacement for it for many years (HolleewoodHair). What could this old blush replacement be?
Name this lipstick color:
A deep and luscious color, this dark look can be pulled off by only the most brave and bold. Those with Halloween on their minds are often spotted sporting this color, which invokes images of black cats and bats more than it does high fashion. Lipsticks have notoriously unique names. What do we want to call this lip color?
What product is also considered a cosmetic?
Surprisingly enough, it’s not just foundation, mascara, blush, and lipstick that “makeup” the bulk of the cosmetics industry. Other products are also included under the umbrella of cosmetics; they’re just not as widely recognized as the traditional makeup products we know and love (HolleewoodHair). What’s the name of just one of these products?
What is the most popular lipstick color in New York?
In the same way that music has a Top 40 chart we feel that lipstick colors should also have the same. After all, different places around the world have different lipstick color desires. There’s a most popular color of lipstick in nearly every major worldwide location, and they all happen to be different (BirchBox). What’s the most popular New York color? It’s a classic!
What surprising item was used to create shimmer in makeup products?
Shimmery makeup seems to be making a comeback with the rise of extreme highlighting and body lava. Sparkling styles might have been considered juvenile by some of us, but we’re quickly changing our tune as we see more and more celebs embracing the shimmer. But what was that shimmer originally made out of? The answer might surprise you (HolleewoodHair).
Name this lipstick color:
A classic color, but with a bit of a matte twist. For those that don’t know, this counts as a matte lipstick because there isn’t the same sort of sheen or shine that we see on other lipsticks. We learned that the hard way, when we purchased a lipstick solely for its name rather than for the swatch. The names are the best part, though! Go ahead and name this lipstick.
What does MAC stand for?
The makeup mogul popular with many professional artists and amateurs alike has always been shrouded in a bit of mystery. MAC is an iconic brand, but few of us have ever figured out what the name actually stands for. After doing a little research we managed to find out its full phrasing (HolleewoodHair). Who can guess what it might be?
What is a good way to get more glowing/dewy skin?
Beauty vloggers seem to have been saying for ages that there’s more than one way to get dewy, glowy skin. They all have their tips and tricks; just watch any makeup tutorial currently out there on the internet. There’s one surefire way to get more glowing skin, though, and it’s one that many of us overlook! (HolleewoodHair)
When did waterproof mascara start getting sold?
Everything that currently seems like it’s a staple of the market today had a release date at one point or another. This is especially true for waterproof mascara, a brilliant invention that many of us use daily. Waterproof mascara was invented at some point in recent history, but when might it have been? (HolleewoodHair)
Name this lipstick color:
A little different from any matte designs, this shimmery lip color definitely deserves a name as glorious as it looks. The sparkle that goes into the lip color makes it undeniably desirable for Christmas parties and long office days alike. What would this beautiful berry color be called if we were able to gift it with a name?
What does OPI stand for?
Another acronym that even makeup lovers might not know, OPI is a popular brand that we know thanks to their fantastic nail polishes. For a company that gets so much love, we’re surprised that more people don’t know what their letters stand for. It’s like MAC all over again, but this time with more nail art. (Beauty Heaven)
Where did the name "NARS" come from?
A similar question to our last one, but a worthy one nonetheless. Casual beauty lovers and full-blown makeup obsessors alike should know the story behind the NARS brand name. For those that don’t, it might come as a surprise. After all, we had to do a bit of a double take when we read it the first time. (Beauty Heaven)
What was the first patented nail polish color?
Just like waterproof mascara, nail polish is one of those things that seems to have been around for a long, long time. Coloring the nails has a long history that we don’t have the space to get into. We can say that there was indeed a first nail polish color to ever be patented. But what color could it have been? (Fact Retriever)
What is the best way to make eyes pop?
The age old question that many of us face when staring at ourselves in the mirror is something along the lines of, “How can I make my eyes stand out more?” Drawing attention to the eyes is a majorly desirable thing for many people, both seasoned and amateur makeup artists. There’s a few different methods, in theory. Which one tends to work?
Name this lipstick color:
A sweet little blush of a color, this is one of our personal favorites to wear day to day. Pink adds a subtle glow to the lips, and makes it possible to wear in combination with many other colors and styles. We’re not entirely sure what to call this specific pink, though. With so many variations on the theme there’s already so many color names.
Where does "Nuxe" get its name from?
A quirky name, we hadn’t actually heard of this brand before sticking it into our quiz. Primarily bought across the pond, this brand seems to be a popular one in the world of luxury makeup. It’s a sophisticated name that has an even more sophisticated meaning behind it. What could it be? (Beauty Heaven)
What does the BB stand for in BB cream?
We’ve all read the articles or watched the beauty vlogs that espouse the benefits of priming with a BB cream. Using a BB cream as a primer is a great way that we’ve found to clean up and almost blur out any sort of pore or acne issues. It’s remarkable what a little cream can do, but maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise; not with a name like this. (Beauty Heaven)
Who is this beauty vlogger?
Social media has launched more than a few work trajectories, but none so prolifically as the beauty vloggers of the online world. These famous makeup artists snuck into our hearts with their straightforward tutorials and super excited personalities. This is one beauty vlogger who really has started to create an empire. What’s her name?
What is said to be the best-selling makeup product of all time?
Cult classics get their name for a good reason. When we find a product that works, we can’t help but love it and share it with all of our friends. The best selling status of this product was garnered for a good reason. It’s no surprise which one it is; we’re willing to bet it’s sitting on many readers’ makeup counters right now. (Beauty heaven)
Name this lipstick color:
A lovely, luscious color that’s perfect for this cold weather we’ve been getting. The dark blue is a rich style, and one that looks good on many different tones. While it’s definitely more of a statement lip color, we know a few people who can pull off these kinds of bold looks well. It’s just a matter of selling it!
What are these trendy brows called?
Anybody who’s active on social media will likely have seen these brows making the rounds this year. These out of the box shapes add an element of fun and whimsy to a look, but we don’t know anyone who actually decided to wear these out and about. We’re sure there would have been some stares if they did!
What causes mascara to dry out more quickly?
Okay, let us clarify: there are many reasons that mascaras dry out. Mascara, in our books, basically counts as a creme product. It’s supposed to coat the lashes and provide lift and enlargement by coating the hairs. There’s one thing that can dry out mascara even faster than the others, though (Fact Retriever). What is it?
What does the brand GHD stand for?
Another brand that’s looking to stay shrouded in mystery, but it’s time for us to pull back the curtain. We love how this brand is getting us to think bigger in terms of our hair. We find that hair is our most often overlooked aspect of the beauty industry. While it’s not quite makeup, it is intrinsically linked.
Where did NYX get its name from?
Another name, but this time it’s one that we’re sure everyone has used. Curiosity is a wonderful thing, as long as we follow through with finding the answers. If anyone has ever wondered about this brand, we’re sure that they’ll have looked up what exactly NYX stands for. Those that haven’t, it’s time to find out! (Beauty Heaven)
What is the leading contributor to increased skin aging?
Again, we recognize that there are many different contributing factors to skin aging. Wrinkles, spots, and looseness can be caused by any number of factors. The one that we’re focusing on right now is a specific one, though. It might even be a little bit surprising to those that are well versed in skin care! (Beauty Heaven)
What does Sephora call its stage floor?
What teenage makeup lover amongst us didn’t dream of working at Sephora? We couldn’t have been the only one that was so ready to join the sales team of what was once our favorite store in the world. Now that we’ve grown up a little bit we’re less eager to join the team. But we do love learning about all the fun facts, like what Sephora employees call their sales floor. (Byrdie)
Who were the Stila Lip Glazes made for?
Wouldn’t it be amazing to be a source of inspiration for something as fabulous as the Stila Lip Glazes? It’s definitely a low-key dream of ours to get a popular makeup brand to manufacture something specifically for us. We have a ways to go before we’re as prolific as this person, but maybe one day, right? (Bustle)
Who partnered with Jaclyn Hill?
Jaclyn Hill is one of our personal most-watched beauty vloggers, and for good reason. Her style is glamorous, but always accessible. She doesn’t make any of her viewers feel bad for being beginners in makeup, and loves sharing her tips and tricks with anyone who wants to learn. We’re big fans, just like this company! Who was it that partnered with her?
What is a good way to reduce under eye bags?
There are many stories that identify tips and tricks for reducing under eye bags, and we all have our own tried and true methods. When it comes to makeup and skin care so much is left up to the person. We’re never sure what to believe until we’ve tried it on ourselves, which can have some fantastic results…or some hilariously negative ones.
What makes us look younger?
There are a whole bunch of things that can make us look younger, including some on-the-nose choices like pigtails and a shorter height. However, other tricks for making ourselves look younger are more easily within our control, and more subtle, too. Out of all the options, this one might just be the easiest to achieve. (Byrdie)
Who is this makeup and beauty vlogger?
We’ve all seen this super makeup star’s face, right? With a few years of social media support under his belt, this is a man who’s achieving great things in the makeup industry. We’ve watched many of his videos, including his amazing tutorials. Talk about accessible information and a brilliant brain! We think his how-tos are just perfect for all skill levels.
Name this lipstick color:
A unique color that we’ve seen popping up everywhere, the brown is a style that can have some excellent results on folks of all tones and shades. Not only do we get a great pop of maturity on the lips, but it tends to match even the loudest shirt and dress prints. We love this versatile color, but it still needs a name…
What kind of lip gloss is this?
Sure, there’s a couple of different colloquial expressions for this dramatic and eye-catching lip gloss look. One does tend to rule them all, though, which might be more surprising to those not necessarily in the makeup world. We love this style because of the creativity it inspires. While we haven’t played around personally with it, we are jealous of anyone who has.
What are these brows known as?
Another unique brow option, we don’t know anybody in their right might who would wear this out and about. It’s like an elevated unibrow, or a Hot Wheels race car track. We’re very impressed with the creativity it took to make this, but we’re not exactly sure why it was a thing in the first place. Chalk it up to art, maybe?
