Fill Up Your Makeup Bag and We'll Guess What Kind of Attractive You Are

By: Jennifer Post

Let's start at the bottom. What kind of primer are you getting?

Matte primer

Tinted primer all the way
Color correcting

Vegan primer

Are you going tinted moisturizer or foundation?

Tinted moistutizer

Definitely foundation
Most likely foundation, but I like both.

Tinted moisturizer with SPF

If you chose foundation, what style is it?

I didn't choose foundation.

One with salicylic acid
One that prevents shine

One a little lighter than my skin color

If you chose tinted moisturizer, which kind are you tossing in your cart?

The kind that blends to match my skin tone

I went with foundation.
One with UV protection

If it has moderate coverage, I'm good.

Are you getting bronzer?

Of course! Just a light one, though

A sparkly one is a must.
Yes, but I don't want to look orange.

If I can find the right color

On top of that bronzer, are you getting blush?

For special occasions

Absolutely. Blush is a necessity to a good makeup routine.
Multiple colors

Maybe a blush stick

Will you need a setting spray for the base of your makeup?

That's a marketing ploy; you don't actually need it.

Maybe, if the price is right.
If I plan on being out for a while I'll need it.

I think I'll get a toning spray instead.

Are you getting contouring brushes?

I wouldn't even know what to do with them.

I could use some new ones.
I've been dying for some contour brushes.

I don't think I need them.

Do you prefer liquid eyeliner or pencil?

I don't really wear eyeliner.

Pencil does the trick.
I like the staying power of liquid.

I'm fine with either.

Do you put eyeliner on before eyeshadow?

I don't really wear eyeshadow.

Nope, it goes on after.
I don't think the order matters.

I've never really thought about the order.

What shades of eyeshadow are you sticking with?

Neutrals

Golds and pinks
I like bright colors.

None, really

Are you picking up an eyebrow tint?

I haven't tried one yet; I'm nervous!

Yep, I just ran out of mine.
I want to try a new color.

A very light one that's easy to remove if I don't like it

When it comes to mascara, do you go black?

Black should really be the only color of mascara.

I stick with black-brown.
Blue brings out my eyes.

A charcoal color works really well for me.

Does your mascara need to be waterproof?

Waterproof is too toxic.

I like to have one waterproof and one regular on hand.
It doesn't need to be.

I only buy waterproof by accident.

Do you need to pick up an eyelash curler?

That's so old fashioned.

I don't really see the need for one.
They rarely come in handy.

It can't hurt.

What type of lip color are you grabbing?

Tinted lip balm

Lipstick
Lip gloss

Something natural, like a lip stain

Do you go toward any certain shades of lipstick?

Nudes are good for me.

Pops of red or orange
All colors, like blue, purple, pink, etc.

It depends on the season.

Will you be picking up any concealer?

No, let the blemishes fly.

I need it for under my eyes.
Sure! It comes in handy.

Only for an extreme breakout situation

Have you ever worn false lashes?

I have for weddings, but that's it.

Pretty much every weekend
I don't make a habit of it.

I never have.

Have you used up all of your lipliner?

Who uses lip liner anymore?

I only use it for certain looks.
I still have plenty left.

I haven't used lip liner since high school.

If your lips could use a little enhancement, would you get a lip plumper?

I think all those things are gimmicks.

I'd try it.
I'm sure it won't harm me, right?

If it works, it could be cool.

Do you think you need a lip exfoliator?

It's so helpful, especially in the colder months.

I don't need it but it's a nice luxury.
Maybe during a facial

I don't need that.

Would you choose a powdered foundation or a cream foundation?

Powdered because it has minimal coverage

Powdered foundations don't have the staying power of liquid.
I think it depends on the brand.

My first choice would be liquid.

Nails need a little love too! How often do you wear nail polish?

Only for special occasions

Every day
Mostly every day, but I like to let my nails breathe sometimes

If I'm in the mood to do them, I will.

What shades of polish do you normally go with?

Mostly pinks

I love a good red.
Any color, really

Mostly nude colors or super light pink

Are professional manicures something you get often?

Almost never

Every once in a while
Maybe every new season

Only if someone else is paying for it

When it comes to taking off your makeup, which method do you prefer?

Cold cream gets more makeup off than anything else.

Makeup removing wipes
I like using certain oils to get it off.

I wash it off in the shower with normal cleanser.

How do prepare your skin at night for makeup the next day?

Wash and moisturize

Lots of serums
I make it so my skin can breathe overnight.

Sleep on a silk pillowcase

Do you think BB, CC, or DD cream really do anything spectacular?

BB cream has really evened out my skin tone.

I don't think there's a difference between them.
Maybe not spectacular, but they feel nice.

For how much they cost, I sure hope so.

Where is your favorite place to shop for makeup?
