- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
As women get older, it is generally recommended to avoid using frost or shimmery lipstick and eye shadow. This is because these types of makeup products tend to settle into fine lines and wrinkles, emphasizing them and making the skin appear older. Instead, it is suggested to opt for matte or satin finishes which provide a more youthful and natural look.Rate this question:

If you have blue eyes the best eye shadow color(s) to use are
- A.
Blue eye shadow
- B.
Warm browns and peaches
- C.
Purple and pink eye shadows
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
B. Warm browns and peachesExplanation
Warm browns and peaches are the best eye shadow colors to use for people with blue eyes because they create a complementary contrast. The warm tones of brown and peach enhance the coolness of blue eyes, making them appear more vibrant and intense. These earthy shades also help to bring out the natural beauty of blue eyes without overpowering them. On the other hand, blue eye shadow may not be the most flattering choice as it can clash with blue eyes and create a monochromatic effect. Purple and pink eye shadows can also work well with blue eyes, as they provide a contrasting pop of color.Rate this question:

When choosing your foundation color it is best to test the foundation on what area?
- A.
Cheek
- B.
Forehead
- C.
Neck
- D.
Jaw line
- E.
You should apply the color all over your face to see if it’s a good match
Correct Answer
D. Jaw lineExplanation
When choosing your foundation color, it is best to test the foundation on the jaw line. This area is typically the closest match to the color of your neck and chest, which helps to ensure that the foundation blends seamlessly with the rest of your skin. Testing the foundation on the jaw line also allows you to see how the color looks against your natural skin tone and undertones, helping you to find the most suitable shade for your complexion.Rate this question:

How often should you wash your hair to keep it soft?
- A.
Every day, twice is OK if you get sweaty.
- B.
Every day, but never more than once a day.
- C.
Every other day.
- D.
Once a week, to prevent stripping hair of the natural oils and drying it out.
Correct Answer
C. Every other day.Explanation
Washing your hair every other day is the recommended frequency to keep it soft. Washing your hair too frequently can strip it of its natural oils, leading to dryness and damage. However, not washing it enough can result in a buildup of dirt and oils, which can also make your hair feel less soft. Therefore, washing every other day strikes a balance between keeping your hair clean and maintaining its natural moisture, resulting in soft and healthy hair.Rate this question:

It helps to define the eyes and create a more polished appearance. Applying eyeshadow only along the bottom of the eyelid or just up to the crease may result in an incomplete or uneven look.Rate this question:

The correct answer is one shade lighter than your foundation. This is because concealer is used to brighten and highlight certain areas of the face, such as under the eyes or on blemishes. By using a shade lighter than your foundation, you can create a more luminous and lifted effect on those areas, helping to camouflage any imperfections or dark circles.Rate this question:

Bright red. The redder, the better!
- B.
Dark colors that are blue- or purple-based.
- C.
Dark brown.
- D.
Orange/Peach tones.
Correct Answer
B. Dark colors that are blue- or purple-based.Explanation
Dark colors that are blue- or purple-based are best to make your teeth appear whiter. This is because blue and purple undertones create a contrast with the yellowish tint of teeth, making them appear brighter and whiter. Bright red lipstick may make teeth look more yellow in comparison, while dark brown and orange/peach tones may not have the same whitening effect.Rate this question:

- D.

According to the CDC, it is recommended to toss your mascara/liquid eyeliner and get a new one once every 3 months.

- A.
When the liquid separates.

After one year.
- C.
After 6 months.
- D.

Additionally, after a year, the product may start to separate or change in texture, indicating that it is no longer suitable for use.
