About This Quiz

Celebrities, YouTube stars and the rest of us use makeup and hair products on a daily basis to achieve a look of sophistication and elegance. It's a form of artistic expression that utilizes colors, textures and fancy beauty brands. But long before our time, several eras shaped and defined beauty standards for the future. These standards were inspired by Hollywood actresses, earlier eras (like the Edwardian era) and movies. So today, we're going to take a trip down memory lane with a few vintage beauty rules and techniques!

Back in the early 1900s, Mary Pickford showed off a makeup look that highlighted her natural beauty. Light lip dyes and face powders were popular since they emphasized a woman's feminine facial features. But you wouldn't find any eyeliner or mascara just yet, because these products didn't become well-known until the 1920s.

The flapper era was all about powder compacts, bright lipsticks and colored eyeshadow, which helped to make a woman feel more lively and confident. Makeup then evolved into light liquid foundations, tubes of mascara and dark lip liner. So no matter what makeup products you use today, remember that they're all evolutions of earlier beauty products!

Now, let's find out what your signature makeup era is with this beauty quiz!
