Makeup is _% art, _% science.

  1. 80% art, 20% science

  2. 70% art, 30% science

  3. 60% art, 40% science

  4. 50% art, 50% science

The correct answer is: 80% art, 20% science

Makeup is an art form that allows individuals to express themselves creatively and enhance their appearance. However, it is also a science that requires knowledge of different skin types, color theory, and specific techniques for different makeup products. While both aspects are important in creating a successful makeup look, the majority of the process depends heavily on artistic skills and techniques, making option A the most accurate ratio. Option B, C, and D have a lower percentage of art, indicating a lesser emphasis on skill and creativity in the makeup process. Furthermore, option D has an equal 50/50 split, implying that art and science are equally important, which is not the case.
