About This Quiz

Back in the day, makeup was nowhere near as diverse as it is now. Some people couldn't even find their shade in certain products. But today, thanks to the acceptance of the mantra that everyone needs great makeup in their lives, we are able to choose from a wide variety of products and looks. 

But there's also a downside to this. Because we have so many options, it can be difficult to determine what products to buy and what look we should make our signature. But we are ever helpful here at How Stuff Works, so we'll help you figure out just that. Which makeup look should you make your signature?

There's the vampy look with smoldering eyes and a dark sexy lip, the no-makeup makeup look that makes you look as fresh-faced as a baby and the glow baby glow look that'll have you glittering like a golden goddess. But which one is for you? 

Answering our beauty questions will tell you whether you're meant to make the bombshell, rocker chick or city babe look your own. If you want to find out which one you ought to start practicing, and we know you do, let's get started by answering these questions.
