Makeup is a timeless trend that has survived for centuries. Although it has changed quite a bit throughout the years, even just from decade to decade, it has always reigned and will always reign supreme as a fashion staple.
Whether you're the kind of person that does simplistic, every day looks, or the kind of person who loves dramatic, daring looks for a night out, or even the kind of person who does wacky, whimsical but wonderful looks for Instagram photos and YouTube videos, everyone who likes makeup can agree on one thing: it's kind of a lot to learn. Even if you just look at the different products, it's a lot - and when you start throwing in things like designers, finishes, and whether or not something aligns with your opinions on vegan/cruelty free products, it gets even worse!
Luckily, we have YouTube, Wikipedia, Instagram, and Sephora, so it's not a totally impossible task, if you want to learn all about makeup and how to use it, along with what brands are the best ones for you, and exactly who they're made by.
Just how well do YOU know makeup? Do you think you're a pro? Take this quiz and find out!
