Question 1: Which skin type is characterized by enlarged pores, shine, and a tendency toward breakouts?
- Dry skin
- Oily skin (Correct answer)
- Sensitive skin

Oily skin produces excess sebum, leading to enlarged pores, surface shine, and increased acne-prone conditions.

- Exfoliate, cleanse, tone, moisturize
- Cleanse, exfoliate, tone, moisturize (Correct answer)
- Tone, cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize
Correct answer: Cleanse, exfoliate, tone, moisturize
The correct sequence is cleanse to remove surface debris, exfoliate to remove dead cells, tone to balance pH, then moisturize to hydrate.
Question 3: Which foundation formula provides the most coverage for covering severe acne scars?
- Tinted moisturizer
- BB cream
- Full-coverage liquid foundation (Correct answer)
- Sheer powder foundation
Correct answer: Full-coverage liquid foundation
Full-coverage liquid foundation contains the highest pigment concentration, making it best for camouflaging deep scars and discoloration.
Question 4: A client complains of tight, flaky skin that feels uncomfortable after cleansing. What skin type does this indicate?
- Oily

- To add heavy moisture
- To remove makeup

Toners restore the skin's natural pH balance after cleansing and remove any remaining traces of cleanser or impurities.
Question 6: When applying concealer to dark under-eye circles, which color corrector should be applied first?
- Green corrector
- Purple corrector
- Blue corrector

Correct answer: Peach or orange corrector
Peach or orange color correctors neutralize the blue-purple tones of dark circles before applying concealer.
