Makeup can express many things—your creativity, your sense of self and even just your mood. Have you ever tried to express your personality type through your makeup? If not, try doing that today with your MBTI results! What’s MBTI? Let us walk you through the personality test and show how you can use it to explore fun makeup looks!
What is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Test?
The Myers-Briggs Test is a tool; essentially a questionnaire you fill out that helps you understand your own behaviour and your interactions with the rest of the world. Depending on your answers, you’ll be assigned one of 16 personality types.
How do I find out my personality type?
If you’re wondering what your personality type is, you can take an online test to find out the result.
What are the different personality types?
The personality types are a combination of four basic scales:
- Introversion-Extraversion (I/E): Where you get your energy
- Sensing-Intuition (S/I): What information you gather and trust
- Thinking-Feeling (T/F): How you make decisions
- Judging-Perceiving (J/P): How you deal with your surroundings

INTJ:
You’re creative and thoughtful with a thirst for knowledge. Your calculative personality requires a pop of colour. Go for a bold lip or bold eye to express creativity yet remain practical with a simple base.
INTP:
You’re a thinker; someone who questions the world and likes it quite but aren’t afraid of standing out. Try out a simple base with a rhinestone eye look to show the world you’re one of a kind!
ENTJ:
You’re a leader: determined, rational and driven with a sharp mind. Exude your power with a sharp cat eye and a bold lip that marks you as the first of the herd.
ENTP:
You love a good argument, not scared of challenging things and taking on any debate with ferocity. What better way to intimidate in all the right ways than a black or bright red lip or a smudged kohl eye?
INFJ:
You do not let your principles wobble. You have big dreams and want to do good in this world. Don that smokey eye with a nude lip to match the intensity of your thirst for justice.
INFP:
You seem quiet but you just prefer to live your creative best in private and spend your time with your books, art and music. Try a simple graphic liner or colourful inner corner moment.
ENFJ:
You’re the main character. People love you and you’re always ready to take on any challenge for the good of the world. The 2016 full beat face is your home turf.
ENFP:
You are a free spirit who loves to be social but also think deeply about you and the world around you. You should love the clean girl look with some light heart or flower graphic liner at the corner of your eye.
ISTJ:
You love structure and tradition. You say what you want to say and are a dependable friend. Try a symmetrical winged eyeliner look with a nude lip that can always be relied on, day or night.
ISFJ:
You are very capable but don’t need all the attention to come to you. Stay out of the limelight with the clean girl, no makeup-makeup look.
ESTJ:
You love order. You’re ready to lead when there is a need and you’re calm in stressful situations. Take charge with a smoked cat eyeliner or a killer wing and a nude lip that’s professional yet alluring.
ESFJ:
You’re a giver. You love close relationships and form bonds with people you like very easily. Oh popular one, with that soft glitter eye look with a pink gloss, how could anyone not want to be your friend?
ISTP:
You’re a doer. You get your hands dirty and are willing to examine the world with curiosity and diligence. A bright colour in the waterline or an intense graphic liner is your look.
ISFP:
Ah, the artist. You want to express yourself and have a strong sense of yourself as an individual. Run free! Try graphic liners, fun colours and bright lips. Your face is your canvas.
ESTP:
You’re full of energy and spontaneity. You can be a bit competitive but how else would you be successful? A successful look is a confident one with a bold red lip and strong fluffy eyebrows.
ESFP:
You’re the first one to bust into song and dance at a party. Every moment is exciting and you want to share the joy with others. Glitter, glitter everywhere! Get people excited with a fun glitter look.
Remember, an mbti-inspired makeup is just fun exercise. If your personality does not match the makeup you like, you do you! But it’s never a bad idea to try something new!
