Makeup Quiz: FREE Personalized Makeup Guides

Just a few years ago, I was sitting, staring into a mirror at my grandmother’s house, with a foundation brush in my right hand. Unbeknownst to me, this was the moment I fell in love with makeup. For full transparency, I did not know what a “foundation brush” was, nor did I know what I was doing; neither did my grandma, but did we have fun! All I knew at that moment was that something so simple, a brush (which I was convinced was meant for painting art galleries and clown makeup) could bring such a smile to my face.

In the beginning, I was a hot mess! Whatever powder, lipstick, or cream my grandma had in her collection, I grabbed. The sky was the limit; three blushes, two eyeshadows, and lipstick from dimple to dimple (why not!). In time, and after several conversations of me wasting all of my grandma’s makeup, I started to learn the process and the correct way of applying each and every layer.

During this time, it hit me; if only there was a resource, a makeup quiz or makeup guide, that could not only show me the steps of applying makeup but recommended products to start off with. Keep in mind, I know the answer nowadays is TikTok or YouTube, but during 2006, all we had was trial and error. I learned a lot since 2006 and that same thought I had over 17 years ago hit me; are there any makeup quizzes or guides to help others going through what I went through so long ago? The answer was no!

Being the “tech-savvy queen” that I am (NOT), I grabbed my husband and simply said, “Makeup quiz, now!” I will be honest, the word “now” ended up being 2 months, but I am proud to say, the quiz was completed. It had to be perfect; typical Simply Beauty Blog style! Every product, every step, for every skin type and occasion – this makeup quiz could not have been put together any better!

Down below, you will find my first Makeup Quiz! Answer the questions to the best of your ability and your skin type will be matched to a personalized makeup guide. How crazy is that?!

Makeup Quiz | How Is This Different Than the Rest?

The Simply Beauty Blog makeup quiz helps match personalized recommendations for your skin types! Through a series of questions, the makeup quiz gets to understand what skin type you have to showcase the correct guide that fits your very needs. Not only does this makeup quiz take into account your particular skin type, but I have laid out a step-by-step makeup guide on what products you should definitely use, when, and in what order. Usually, other makeup quizzes, simply help with shade matching a particular product or helping to choose one product out of a product line; here on this makeup quiz, I put in the work to give you the entire spectrum!

Back in 2006, this is EXACTLY what I needed… help! So many products to choose from for so many occasions, not even understanding how they work / affect my skin type. Trust me, back then, my skin was very confused, just like I was, because the sheer amount of products being put on it was iconically high! I could definitely continue on how this makeup quiz is going to bring a level of personalized makeup guides to you, that rivals the all the options out there, but I want you to see it for yourself. Please click on the button below and get ready to look fabulous!

Just to let you know, there are two versions: Glam and Natural makeup. If you fill out the quiz twice, changing your first answer choice, you can receive two guides for either situation

Makeup Quiz | My Personalized Makeup Guides

The day is finally here and I can’t possibly be more excited! I started this blog as a way for me to talk about one of my favorite things in the world: all things beauty. As you can hopefully tell by now, I love beauty so much and it is intertwined in almost everything I do. I love makeup because of how creative it makes me, how confident it makes me feel, and it’s just so much fun to play around with it and try new products.

One day, we were brainstorming about what we can do to make this blog different. I knew that although I can write about makeup and all things beauty until my fingers fall off, I wanted to also do something different with this blog and to really interact with our followers and viewers.

After searching my mind for ideas, I finally thought of exactly what this blog needed. Personalized Makeup Guides! In this post, I’ll share with you guys exactly what I created and I’ll also explain how to get access to them too.

TJ Maxx | Home of the High-End Makeup at Budget Prices!

I’m sure you’ve all heard amazing stories about TJ Maxx and the luxury makeup gems that can be found there. If you’re anything like me, every time you head to the TJ Maxx makeup aisle, you expect greatness but end up with nothing compared to what you’ve seen online.

If you experience those small disappointments, don’t worry, you’re not alone! For years, each time that I’m at TJ Maxx, I immediately head for the makeup aisle and I find absolutely nothing exciting whatsoever. However, about a month ago, I was shopping around at a TJ Maxx and I felt like I struck actual gold! I’ll share with you guys exactly what I got, the price that I got it for, and hopefully, this will inspire you to head to TJ Maxx and find some high-end gems all at a fraction of their original price! I’m so amazed that I found these products and I’m so excited to share them all with you.

Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara

One thing about me is that I’m a huge mascara junkie. I can seriously never have enough and although I already have a bunch of mascaras, I constantly want to try out more and more. I’m always on the hunt for a mascara that’s better than the next, and, one to add to my collection of all-time favorites.

If you’re a fan of watching YouTube beauty gurus, then chances are you’ve heard about the Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions mascara. Pretty much everyone under the sun was raving about this mascara and how it has become their holy grail product. Although I was intrigued because like I mentioned, I’m absolutely obsessed with mascara, I didn’t really want to pick it up since it was only sold online and I couldn’t get a chance to see what the wand really looked like in person and if it was going to work for me.

Call me crazy, but I tend to veer away from brands that are sold almost exclusively online because I’m a huge fan of seeing the products up close, the packaging, and everything in between before I make the decision to purchase it.

Fast forward to the Holiday Season that just ended. I got the Thrive Cosmetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara as a gift and I was so excited to finally see what the hype was all about. Now that I’ve been using this mascara almost daily for about 2 weeks, I feel like my thoughts on this product are totally formed and I’m ready to share them all with you!
