CCP Corrective & Special-Event Makeup 3

Question 1

Which eye makeup technique visually lifts drooping outer corners of the eyes?

Accepted Answer

Extending liner and shadow upward at the outer corner

Answer

Flicking liner and shadow upward at the outer corner creates a lifting effect that counteracts downward-turning lids.

Question 2

What is the primary purpose of a makeup primer applied before foundation?

Accepted Answer

To create a smooth base and extend foundation wear

Answer

Primer fills fine lines, evens texture, and helps foundation adhere longer for extended wear.

Question 3

A client with close-set eyes wants a more balanced appearance. Which technique is recommended?

Accepted Answer

Apply light or bright color to inner corners and darker shadow to outer corners

Answer

Light on the inner corners opens the eyes visually, while darkness on the outer corners pulls them apart to correct close-set eyes.

Question 4

For a client with a heart-shaped face, blush should be applied:

Accepted Answer

Along the jawline to add width below

Answer

Adding blush lower along the jaw helps add visual width to the narrow lower half of a heart-shaped face.

Question 5

When performing special-effects makeup to simulate a bruise, which color combination is most realistic?

Accepted Answer

Yellow, green, purple, and red tones layered

Answer

Real bruises progress through yellow, green, purple, and red stages, so layering these tones creates the most convincing effect.
