Makeup By Mario is one of those brands that is so beloved and viral online, it’s hard to know where to start if you’re brand new with the brand. Lucky for us, they have a quiz that makes the whole product-selection so much easier!
The brand was founded by Mario Dedivanovic, best known for his celebrity makeup artistry with high-profile clients like Kim Kardashian. The formulations and products are inspired by his desire to educate his customers in makeup, to teach them how to create balance and symmetry in their faces (just like he does)!
The quiz is designed both for those who are new to the brand and for seasoned fans. It’s divided into different questions—from your skin tone and skin type to types of products you’re interested in and makeup level. After answering all the questions, you’ll get three products recommended that are custom to those answers. It’s a great way to get new product recs!
We’d suggest taking the quiz yourself, but if you want our shopping-professional takes, keep on scrolling to shop the products we’re love or intrigued by!
