Online Fashion and Makeup Games

From LoveToKnow Makeup

Online fashion and makeup games are the ultimate way for seriously dedicated fashionistas to pass the time. Most of these online games are geared toward testing the expertise of designer-worshipping divas who claim to know the names and highlights of the most notable fashion and makeup entities. Some of the games will have you rifling through Sephora catalogs and back issues of Vogue in order to answer a few detailed questions about fashion history. The following article will tell you where to find these online fashion and makeup games, as well as afford preparation tips for your informative quest.

The Challenge of Online Fashion and Makeup Games

The popular online fashion site FashionClub.com features a few of the most challenging online fashion and makeup oriented games. Unfortunately for the average fashion fan, these games have the potential to truly humiliate their player.

The amount of detail and fashion history that can be packed into online fashion and makeup games will truly test your love of fashion and design history. Much in the style of those ubiquitous quizzes that claim to measure your "flirtiness", "geekiness", and "future successes", these online fashion games are a delicious waste of time and every bit as psyche-revealing. Does your knowledge stack up against your fashion-loving claims?

The Gamer's Goal

Chances are you have a hankering for online fashion games because you possess a love of clothing and cosmetics, and, hey, you're familiar with all the biggest brands, so you must be an expert, right? Not so fast. Online fashion games aren't just for fashion fans; they're out to locate the fashion fanatics.

An understanding of fashion doesn't just involve knowing the names and basic underlying styles of each designer. Being a fashion expert means you know exactly what line was introduced in what year and which accessories were created for which theme…and the list of details is endless. Sure, you remember that Rebecca Taylor is famous for her pastel palettes and sweet kittenish designs in 2003. Her Spring and Fall 2006 lines, however, brought out more flagrant prints, island-inspired styles, and color schemes like "Winter Sky" and "Banana Pie". If you haven't been surfing the online boutiques and following up on her latest designs, then these quizzes will have you crying into last September's Bazaar.

Most online makeup games are simpler in format than the fashion games/quizzes. You may find yourself drawing eyeliner and lipstick on a cyber-paper doll. Creativity is key. But if you're longing to increase your fashion expertise such that you feel sunny about yourself over at FashionClub.com, then here is your battle plan:

  1. Fall in love with the world of fashion.
  2. Research your favorite designers.
  3. Begin doling out $$$ on a designer wardrobe.
  4. Accentuate this designer wardrobe with the latest seasonal makeup looks.
  5. Immerse yourself in the fashion world for at least five years.
  6. Play online fashion and makeup games.
  7. Win.

Falling in Love with Fashion

Falling in love with fashion does not mean flipping through a seasonal Delia's catalogue. The world of fashion implies high fashion, the sort of fashion you see emphasized in Vogue layouts. Sure, many of these pieces are not affordable to the middle-class, but just like car enthusiasts, you can look at the latest python Prada slippers and store the season of their introduction into the archives of your mind. Every designer has a trademark, and soon you'll be falling behind on your rent each month whilst building up a comfortable midlevel designer wardrobe.

Making Up with Makeup

Makeup isn't just meant to hide your flaws. The cosmetic industry evolves seasonally as well. The early 90s were characterized by matte lips and faces, whereas the new millennium brought in a bloom of luminous cheeks and shimmering lips.

In 1994, Chanel introduced the incendiary nail color "Vamp" that had the cosmetic world wrapped up in deep brown shades for years until glittery and metallic colors resurfaced by the new millennium. Are you savvy to all these changes and adaptations? What about famous cosmetic lines and their limited edition seasonal collections?

Where to Find Them

Running a Google search for these specific games will yield multiple results. If you're just looking for simple dress-up and makeover games, then GirlGameZone.com will fill your needs. However, the more daring fashion lover can test her knowledge by running a search for both "fashion games" and "fashion and makeup quizzes".
