Have you ever thought about matching your makeup to your unique personality type? Makeup can be a creative way to express your personality, and let the world know more about who you are!
You may have come across the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality test during your leisure time, or maybe you’ve been convinced to take it with your friends.
This popular test categorises personalities into four main elements, and the resulting four-letter code provides a detailed understanding of your overall personality!

There are a total of sixteen MBTI personality types, which can be split into four main spheres.
NF (Intuition and Feeling) types are compassionate and empathetic communicators. They rely on their intuition and enjoy connecting with others.
NT (Intuition and Thinking) types are analytical and logical thinkers. They possess a natural pragmatism and excel at understanding complex systems and ideas.
SJ (Sensing and Judging) types are organised and detail-oriented individuals. They are dedicated to their work and prioritise practicality in their lives.
SP (Sensing and Perceiving) types are adventurous and live in the present moment. They are easygoing and adaptable, capable of quick thinking.
If you identify with any of these types, keep reading to discover a makeup look that perfectly complements your unique personality!
