Question 3: A client has deep-set eyes. Which eyeshadow technique helps make them appear more prominent?
- Apply dark shadow all over the lid
- Place light shimmer on the brow bone
- Apply medium shadow on the brow bone and highlight on the lid (Correct answer)
- Use only matte shades to avoid drawing attention
Correct answer: Apply medium shadow on the brow bone and highlight on the lid
Applying a medium shade on the brow bone and a highlight on the lid brings deep-set eyes forward and makes them appear more open.
Question 4: What does 'baking' refer to in makeup application?
- Warming foundation with a beauty blender
- Setting concealer with translucent powder left on for several minutes (Correct answer)
- Using a hot tool to set mascara
- Applying bronzer in circular motions
Correct answer: Setting concealer with translucent powder left on for several minutes
Baking involves applying a thick layer of translucent powder over concealer, leaving it for 5–10 minutes, then dusting it away for a crease-free finish.
Question 5: Which brush type is best suited for applying powder blush to the cheeks?
- Fan brush
- Fluffy dome-shaped brush (Correct answer)
- Flat shader brush
- Liner brush
Correct answer: Fluffy dome-shaped brush
A fluffy dome-shaped blush brush picks up and diffuses powder blush evenly across the cheekbones.
Question 6: When applying false lashes, where should lash adhesive be allowed to sit before application?
- Applied immediately while wet
- 30–60 seconds until tacky (Correct answer)
- 5 minutes until completely dry
- Until the adhesive turns clear only
Correct answer: 30–60 seconds until tacky
Waiting 30–60 seconds for lash adhesive to become tacky ensures the lashes bond securely and do not slide during placement.
Question 7: Which product helps mascara last longer without smudging under the eyes?
- Primer applied to the lashes
- Translucent powder dusted under the eyes (Correct answer)
- Lip liner applied along the lash line
- Setting spray applied after mascara
Correct answer: Translucent powder dusted under the eyes
Dusting translucent powder under the eyes creates a barrier that absorbs oils and prevents mascara from transferring or smudging.
