Everyone loves reading about their personalities, such as their birth month, blood type, zodiac signs and especially, their Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality type.
People also love embodying their personalities in their fashion sense, hobbies, and even in workspaces. I relate to this especially when I mindfully try to incorporate my identity as my horoscope sign, an Aquarius, by dressing in quirky, colourful accessories to stand out from the crowd.
Currently, there is an ongoing trend where people are trying out their MBTI makeup type to improve their overall looks or explore a new makeup approach that may complement their features better. Most of the TikTok videos I came across really do wonders for the person’s overall look.
Both my colleague and I tried it out, but with a twist by doing our own individual MBTI type make-up, and then swapping our make-up styles to see if there were differences.
Let’s see if our colleagues at Confirm Good can tell who is the extrovert or the introvert, based on the makeup styles, and if they can guess our MBTI types.
MBTI Type #1
MBTI type one is a bolder, louder make-up style where it focuses on sharpening one’s features.
We used a Cezanne eyeliner to create the sharp, winged eyeliner effect, highlighting the shape of our eyes. Then, we outlined our lips using Silky Girl’s lip liner to give a fuller, plumper look.
Finally, to complete the entire look, we had a mix of Clio and 3CE’s eyeshadow and blended it across our eyelids for the subtle glitter, bronze look.
Raphael: This looks better on Glace than Jae. Overall, I prefer this type of makeup approach because the cheeks look more flushed. It also makes the overall face appear brighter as compared to the MBTI Type #2.
MBTI Type: ENTJ
Ash: This make-up style looks better for Glace, she looks glowier, and the colour of her lips adds life to her overall facial appearance.
MBTI Type: ESFJ
Yi Tong: Jae suits bold and loud make-up, especially since her hairstyle is unconventional by nature. The style itself enhances, and gives Jae an entirely different look than her usual daily appearance.
MBTI Type: ENFJ
Letresa: Both Glace and Jae look better with the thicker makeup look, because it enhances their features more. The confident, bold makeup style leans more towards ESTJ, as people with this MBTI exude confidence through their decisions and remain coolheaded during stressful times.
MBTI Type: ESTJ
MBTI Type #2
MBTI type two is a softer, Korean-inspired makeup that revitalises the clean girl aesthetics.
To achieve this look, we had to apply the Peripera blush more intensely by dabbing it across our face, nearer to our midface groove, nose, and chin.
Then, we fill our lips with Amuse’s lip tint for a long-lasting colour and Peripera’s lip gloss for the shine. Lastly, we completed the look by applying a thin coat of Judydoll’s mascara on our eyelashes.
Yi Tong: This look suits Glace more because it highlights her features in a soft manner, which complements her personality. Plus, she’s gentle and introverted as a person, so this makes more sense than the previous makeup style.
MBTI Type: INFJ
Ash: This look suits Jae better than Glace, as it has a subtle look. Furthermore, her hair already has a lot of personality, which clashes with the previous makeup approach. In my opinion, this works better because it’s on a lighter side and gives Jae a balanced appearance.
MBTI Type: ESFJ
The Verdict?
Out of four colleagues, everyone was able to differentiate who was the extrovert or introvert, except Raphael (better luck next time).
In terms of accurately guessing the right MBTI type, only Yi Tong got it right (good job!) To be fair, there are 16 personality traits to choose from, so the odds were one out of eight.
If you thought I am an ENFJ and Glace is an INFJ, then your answer is correct!
We were pleasantly surprised that we did not look better with our own MBTI type makeup. Instead, our features were enhanced after we swapped MBTI makeup styles.
Of course, there are external factors to consider, such as facial structure, skin tone, and hair colour, especially with my Calico hairstyle.
At the end of the day, regardless of your MBTI personality type, what matters most is a makeup style that makes you feel truly comfortable.
Give the trend a try, and let us know if you suit the extroverted or introverted style more!
