  1. A makeup artist is working on a client with rosacea covering the cheeks and nose. Which corrector addresses this?

    Answer: Green

    Green corrector neutralizes red tones such as rosacea, broken capillaries, and general redness.

  2. What does 'chroma' or 'saturation' describe in color theory?

    Answer: The intensity or purity of a color

    Chroma or saturation refers to the vividness or purity of a color — high chroma is vivid, low chroma is muted.

  3. When selecting blush for a warm-undertoned client, which tone is most flattering?

    Answer: Coral, peach, or warm rose

    Warm-undertoned clients are most flattered by blush with coral, peach, or warm rose pigments that complement their golden base.

  4. A neutral undertone client can wear which range of foundation undertones?

    Answer: Both warm and cool foundations

    Neutral undertones are versatile and can work with both warm and cool foundation undertones without appearing off.

  5. What color results from mixing equal parts of a primary and its adjacent secondary color?

    Answer: Tertiary color

    Mixing a primary color with an adjacent secondary color produces a tertiary color (e.g., red + orange = red-orange).

  6. In eyeshadow application, applying a complementary color to the iris enhances the eye by doing what?

    Answer: Creating contrast that makes the iris color pop

    Complementary colors create maximum contrast, making the iris color appear more vivid and noticeable.
