Could you be a – gasp – cosmetic extremist? How much make-up really is too much? See there are make-up magnets (girls that make Dame Edna look under-dressed) who could do with a swipe of a face wipe or 10 and then there are cosmetic virgins (those that think primer is something you buy at Bunnings) who could really boost their natural beauty with a sweep of mascara.
Is your love of pretty stuff verging on obsessive, are you simply bonkas about beauty or could you do with swotting up on all things pretty? Simply answer A, B or C and all will be revealed…
1. How often do you leave the house wearing no make-up?
A Are you crazy? Never!
B Daily
C Occasionally, but never without SPF
2. How often do you buy new beauty products?
A Practically every time I go shopping
B Rarely. You have heard of the credit crunch right?
C Every now and again to inject life into my beauty routine
3. How many lip glosses / lipsticks do you own?
A Over 30
B One
C About 10
4. How would you describe your beauty style?
A I can’t because it changes so frequently
B Basic/natural
C It’s all about my skin: radiant and clear
5. Which of the following best matches your opinion of a primer:
