Question 1

Which color corrector is used to neutralize dark blue or purple under-eye circles?

Peach or orange corrector

Peach or orange correctors neutralize blue and purple tones because they are opposite on the color wheel.

Question 2

When applying makeup for a client with a square face shape, the goal is to:

Accepted Answer

Soften angular jaw edges with contouring

Answer

Contouring the corners of the jaw helps soften the angular appearance characteristic of square face shapes.

Question 3

A client has a very low forehead. Which technique best creates the illusion of length?

Accepted Answer

Apply highlighter along the center of the forehead

Answer

Applying highlighter to the center of the forehead draws the eye upward, creating the illusion of a taller forehead.

Question 4

For a theatrical stage makeup application, why are products typically applied more intensely than for everyday wear?

Accepted Answer

Stage lighting washes out color, requiring heavier pigmentation

Answer

Strong stage lighting desaturates color on performers, so heavier, more vivid pigmentation ensures makeup reads clearly from a distance.

Question 5

Which foundation application technique is best for clients with large pores?

Accepted Answer

Stippling with a sponge or stippling brush

Answer

Stippling deposits foundation into pores without dragging or enlarging them, creating a smoother finish.
