Question 1

Which facial feature does contouring the temples and sides of the forehead help to achieve?

Accepted Answer

A narrower, more oval-shaped face

Answer

Contouring the temples and sides of the forehead reduces the perceived width and helps create a more oval face shape.

Question 2

When working with mature skin, which foundation finish is generally most flattering?

Accepted Answer

Satin or dewy finish

Answer

A satin or dewy finish reflects light in a way that softens fine lines and wrinkles, while matte and powder finishes can settle into and emphasize them.

Question 3

A client wants a smoky eye but has hooded eyelids. What adjustment should the makeup artist make?

Accepted Answer

Place the dark shadow slightly above the crease so it's visible when eyes are open

Answer

For hooded lids, placing dark shadow above the natural crease ensures the color is visible when the eyes are open rather than hidden under the hood.

Question 4

What is the primary purpose of a primer specifically formulated for the lips?

Accepted Answer

To create a smooth base that helps lip color last longer and prevents feathering

Answer

Lip primers create an adhesive, smooth base that extends lipstick wear time and prevents the color from bleeding into fine lines around the mouth.

Question 5

Which technique is used to make the nose appear narrower using makeup?

Accepted Answer

Applying contour shading along both sides of the nose bridge

Answer

Applying a matte contour shade along both sides of the nose bridge creates shadows that give the illusion of a slimmer nose.
