About This Quiz

When it comes to beauty and makeup, you simply can't go wrong with eyeliner. It's the perfect product for defining your eyes, complementing eyeshadow and completing a full look. But with so many eyeliner styles to choose from, you might be stuck on which one to try. We totally know how it is! That's why we created this super fun quiz.

The following questions are designed to tap into your makeup style and preferences. They'll also cover different beauty-related situations. Once you complete the quiz, we'll compare your answers to popular eyeliner looks. From there, you can incorporate the winning style into your routine or experiment with the technique. After all, makeup is a fantastic way to emphasize your character, so it only makes sense to take the time to find the most appropriate one.

Maybe you are practical and simple like the minimalist eyeliner style. Or perhaps you are fierce and confident like the classic cat eye. Most people just wing it, but if we're being honest, the best way to stay sharp is to take a personality quiz.
