What the Makeup Style Test does
Standing at a beauty counter with no idea whether you're a bold-lip person or a natural-glow person wastes time and money. This test looks at a photo of your face, reads your features, skin tone, and eye color, and names a makeup style personality, like natural, glam, or bold, that tends to suit what it sees. It comes back with a suggested color palette and a couple of techniques worth trying, plus notes on occasions where that style works well. Mention an event or a look you're chasing in the details box, and the answer will lean toward that instead of a generic style.

Input: A representative example, since the photo at the top of this page shows makeup products laid flat on a table and is an illustration rather than a real input photo: a front-facing selfie in daylight showing warm skin undertones, brown eyes, defined brows, and a medium-length oval face. The details box says: "night out on Saturday".

- Glam Style Fit68%
- Bold Style Fit45%
Style read: Your coloring and features lean toward a natural-glam style: warm undertones and brown eyes carry earthy and bronze tones well, and an oval face has room for both soft and more defined looks without overwhelming your features.
Suggested palette: Warm browns, bronze, and terracotta on the eyes, a peachy blush, and a lip in warm rose or brick red would work with your undertone better than cool pinks or blue-based reds.
Techniques to try: A soft bronze wash across the lid with a thin brown liner close to the lashes gives definition without looking heavy, and cream blush blended into bare skin keeps the natural-glam feel intact.
For Saturday night: Add a deeper brown in the outer corner, a little shimmer in the center of the lid, and switch to the brick red lip. For daytime or work, keep the same palette but skip the deeper crease color.
How it works
- 1
Upload a clear, makeup-free or lightly made-up photo
A front-facing photo in natural light, without heavy filters, gives the model an accurate read of your skin tone, eye color, and features.
- 2
Add a note about the occasion or look
Mention if you're dressing for work, a night out, or a wedding, and the style suggestions shift to match that setting.
- 3
The model reads your features and coloring
It looks at face shape, eye shape and color, skin undertone, and overall proportions to estimate which makeup styles complement them.
- 4
You get a style name, palette, and techniques
The result names a style personality, suggests a color palette, and gives a couple of application tips to try at home.
Use cases
Building a first makeup routine
Someone new to makeup uploads a photo to get a style direction and a short color list, instead of guessing at a display of hundreds of products.
Prepping for a specific event
A person getting ready for a wedding or interview mentions the occasion, and the suggestions adjust toward what suits that setting.
Refreshing an old routine
Someone who has worn the same look for years wants a second opinion on whether their palette still fits their coloring.
Shopping with a plan
Before a counter visit, someone uses the palette suggestion to narrow down which shades to actually try on, saving time and returns.
Tips for better results
- Use natural daylight rather than yellow indoor lighting, which shifts how your skin tone and undertone read.
- Skip heavy filters and existing makeup if you want the read based on your natural coloring.
- Mention your skin type in the notes if it's relevant, since oily or dry skin changes which finishes work best.
- Name the occasion you're dressing for so the palette and intensity match the setting.
- Take the photo at eye level and face the light source for the most even skin tone read.
Limitations
This is a style suggestion based on one photo, not a professional consultation. Camera color accuracy, lighting, and screen calibration all affect how skin tone and undertone are read, and product shades vary by brand regardless of what the tool suggests. Treat the palette and style name as a starting point, and patch-test any new product before applying it broadly.
Frequently asked questions
Does it recommend specific products?
It may name example products alongside color families and finishes, like warm bronze or a matte lip. Treat any product names as a shortlist to swatch, since exact shades vary by brand and formula.
Does it work with a photo where I already have makeup on?
It can, but a bare or lightly made-up photo gives a more accurate read of your natural undertone and features, which changes the palette suggestion.
What if I disagree with the style it names?
Add a note describing the look you actually want, and the answer will adjust the palette and techniques toward that instead of the default suggestion.
Can it help with makeup for a specific eye shape?
Yes, it factors in the eye shape it sees in your photo and can suggest placement and techniques suited to that shape.
How is skin tone different from undertone here?
Skin tone is how light or deep your skin looks, while undertone is the warm, cool, or neutral cast beneath it, and the palette suggestions are built mainly around undertone.
Can I run it again for a different event?
Yes, upload a new photo or the same one with a new note describing the occasion. Each run uses credits.
