Makeup archetypes are style ideas
Dear Peachie shares makeup videos, including explanations of makeup archetypes. An archetype is a group of looks with similar effects, such as soft color or sharp lines. You can use these groups as a starting point for experimenting with makeup.
This is an unofficial, self-reported style quiz, not a facial analysis. QuizExpo isn’t affiliated with Dear Peachie. Your result suggests a look to explore; it doesn’t describe your personality or set rules for your face.
How this quiz works
The questions ask about your makeup choices and the effects you enjoy. You’ll consider your favorite skin finish, what catches your eye in a makeup photo, and how you’d change your usual eye makeup.
- There are 15 questions.
- The eight possible results are Ingenue, Elegant, Romantic, Natural, Classic, Dramatic, Modern, and Gamine.
- Your selected answers about your preferences guide the style suggestion.
Answer for what you want to try now. You don’t need to choose the look you wear most often, especially if your everyday routine is shaped by limited time or supplies.
You might also hear the term visual weight in makeup discussions. It means how strongly features draw the eye through their size, shape, or contrast. Dark liner can draw attention to your eyes, for example. Your facial features don’t restrict which makeup styles you can try.
Ways to try each result
These suggestions give you a small experiment for each result. They’re starting points, and you can mix techniques across groups.
Ingenue
Try a soft wash of blush and a sheer lip tint. Keep liner fine if you want a gentle effect with little contrast.
Elegant
Blended neutral shadow and softly defined brows can create a polished look. A muted lip color lets you keep the edges soft throughout your makeup.
Romantic
Rose tones and softly smudged liner are options here. For a fuller-looking lip, add a little gloss to the center over your usual lip color.
Natural
Let some of your skin show through a light base. You could add brushed brows and a small amount of cream blush for subtle color.
Classic
A balanced look gives the eyes and lips similar attention. Try neat liner with a medium-depth lip color, then adjust either one to your taste.
Dramatic
Strong contrast is one effect to explore. Choose a bold lip or dark eye makeup first so you can judge that change on its own.
Modern
Experiment with a crisp wing or a graphic liner shape. Leaving the rest of your makeup simple gives you space to test an unfamiliar detail.
Gamine
A short liner flick and a fresh blush color can make a playful combination. Try changing the angle of the flick before adding more products.
Try one change at a time
Use products you already own to test a technique. Check the effect in your usual lighting before deciding what you’d change next.
If you’d like another starting point, explore makeup ideas for your face. Keep the suggestions you enjoy, even if they belong to different groups.
