About This Quiz

From the glossy pages of fashion magazines to high-energy YouTubers, makeup (or, at least, talking about it) is everywhere. But, what's its place on your face? The only thing more numerous than eyeshadows in a Morphe x Jaclyn Hill palette is opinions on cosmetics. Some people love them. Some people hate them. Some people (read: us) can't wing their eyeliner to save their lives but continue to try anyway. OOF. Please tell us we're not alone. Or, are you the one who can finally teach us how to achieve the perfect cat-eye?

TBH, you might not know what your makeup vibe is, and that's totally fine. We're here to help! Like the clothes we wear and how we style our hair, our makeup vibes are always evolving (and thank GAWD for that). If they weren't, we'd still be rocking the purple eyeshadow we somehow convinced our 13-year-old selves totally slayed. Whether you think you're a barefaced beauty or makeup artist in the making, take our quiz to reveal your true makeup vibe. Maybe the results will confirm what you've always known, but they could also leave you mega shook. So, what are you waiting for? Your brows won't fill themselves in, and this quiz won't take itself either!
