About This Quiz

When it comes to makeup, nothing beats an amazing lip color that reflects your personality and inner beauty. But with so many shades to choose from, it can be difficult to know which one you should wear. So, we created this personality quiz so you can discover your perfect color, once and for all.

We'll be able to determine the answer through several techniques. First, we'll present different makeup-related scenarios and see what you'll do. We will also ask about your favorite beauty products, shopping habits and your specific preferences in the wonderful world of makeup.

When you finish answering the questions, we'll examine your responses and pick a lip color that best suits your character. This way, you can wear a color that accurately portrays who you are as a person. The best part, however, is that there are so many hues and shades of each color! Once we reveal your results, you can take it from there and choose a shade that looks like "the balm" on you.
