Question 1

Which brush shape is most effective for precise application of eyeshadow to the inner corner of the eye?

Accepted Answer

Small pencil or pointed detail brush

Answer

A small pencil or pointed detail brush allows precise placement of highlight or shimmer in the tight inner corner without spreading product to unwanted areas.

Question 2

A client has uneven skin texture with large pores. Which primer type will best minimize their appearance before foundation?

Accepted Answer

Silicone-based pore-filling primer

Answer

Silicone-based primers contain dimethicone, which physically fills pores and smooths the skin's surface for a more even foundation finish.

Question 3

When executing a cut crease eye look, what is the primary purpose of using a flat, stiff brush with concealer?

Accepted Answer

To create a sharp, defined line that separates lid color from crease color

Answer

The flat stiff brush pressed with concealer cuts a precise, clean edge between the lid color and crease shadow, creating the defining characteristic of the cut crease look.

Question 4

Which product is best used to fix a broken pressed powder compact for continued professional use?

Accepted Answer

A few drops of 91% isopropyl alcohol pressed and smoothed into the compact then dried

Answer

Isopropyl alcohol dissolves and re-binds the powder's binder, allowing it to be smoothed, re-pressed, and dried back to a usable compact form.

Question 5

What is the key difference between a highlight applied to the high points of the face and a strobe effect?

Accepted Answer

Strobing focuses entirely on light reflection to sculpt the face without contour or shadow

Answer

Strobing is a technique that sculpts the face through light placement alone, using highlighter on all high points without any corresponding shadow or contour.
