The Natural Girl
Make up for you is natural yet beautiful. Embracing your natural side you feel beautiful no matter how little makeup you have on. You most likely like colours of peach, nude, soft pinks, and earthly but subtle colours.
Try:
For your lips: To give your lips a natural yet beautiful colour try: Either Nivea Caregloss & Shine (1) or Revlon GlossyLicious in Caramel Cupcake (2)
For your eyes try: Smashbox Rainforest eye shadow palette (3) and Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eyeliner (4)
For your face try: Napoleon Perdis Mosaic Blushing Powder (5)
- If you picked mainly A’s then you’re:
The Glamour Girl
Make up for you is over the top, celebrity red carpet style. Being glamorous is what you are about and wearing gorgeous make up makes you feel beautiful and feminine. You most likely like colours of reds, pinks, golds, purples etc and lots of mascara and false lashes, and glitter and sparkle.
Try:
To oomph up your glamour radar try some false eye lashes. Manicare make some amazing lashes that are an absolute bargain at 7.95! and will give you instant glamour! Easy to put on and will make you eye lashes look oh so Hollywood! Or try lashings of mascara and then use an eye lash curler to make them really stand out!

For your face try – Clinique BCA Blush (5)
For your lips try – Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in A lick of taffy (6)
- If you picked mainly B’s you’re:
The Casual Sophisticated Girl
Make up for you is a bit of in-between. One day you may feel glamorous but not over the top glamorous and the next a more natural approach to make up. You still feel beautiful so matter what you decide to wear and still look sophisticated. Colours for you would be purples, greens, pinks, blues etc as well as nude colours too.
For the eyes try – Revlon Colourstay 12 Hour Eye shadow in Berry Bloom(1) and Napoleon Perdis Peep Show Mascara in Madame Fantasia (2)
For the lips try – Revlon Super Lustrous Lip gloss in Shine City (3)
For the face try – L’oreal Paris Blush Delice in Sugar Plum (4)
Beauty Review:
Napoleon Perdis Peep Show Mascara
Napoleon Perdis has just recently released a new line of mascara called “Peep Show Mascara” in 5 varieties which are:
- Madame Fantasia
- Madame Beyond
- Madame Prep
- Madame Crystal
- Madame Curl Curl
I recently tried the Madame Fantasia mascara which is actually really good. It gives your eye lashes more volume and makes them stand out well, especially with an eye lash curler. I would recommend it if you want fuller looking lashes! And at only $30 from any local Farmer’s store or your local make up store etc. it is definitely good value for money!
