Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: CHAMPION REVEALED - Check out the winner and Community Favorite makeup products!

TeamBIC_0-1646413463247.png

 

March has made its way to us, and to celebrate, we’re breaking out the beauty brackets for our second annual Makeup Madness Challenge in the BIC! For the next few weeks, eight popular makeup categories will go head-to-head in a showdown to snag the title of 2022 Community Champion makeup category. It’s up to YOU to vote on the winner … and share some tried-and-true beauty recs along the way (because why not?!). 😉

 

We kicked off round 1 with a matchup that sparked serious passion last year: lipstick vs. mascara. 🔥 Mascara ended up taking the crown in 2021, but who knows what will happen this year… especially since we’ll be adding new makeup categories to the mix in future rounds. 😏 Stay tuned!

Givenchy Le Rouge Sheer Velvet Matte Lipstick 39 Rouge Grenat 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

@MvLL Ooo nice pick! I’ve been wanting to add Rose Boise to my collection 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

@Guessgal. it might be a Ltd.Edition shade? Looks like the Sheer Velvets are being promoted now. But I'd say there are near-dupes even within Giv's le Rouge variations.

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

@TeamBIC yaaaaaaay!!! Love this challenge!! I'm going with Charlotte Tilbury Hyaluronic Happikiss Lipstick Balm 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

@lmaster I keep hoping they expand the shade range with these.  So comfortable to wear!

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

I know!!! @missjeanie I love these so much

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

Definitely lipstick I'm loving HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour Set 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

@TeamBIC Ahhh I love both.  I will choose lipstick since I can wear false lashes. MAC Cosmetics Matte Lipstick Velvet Teddy Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick - Look of Love Collection Nude Romance 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

@TeamBIC Oh I remember this challenge!! Mascara is such a staple, but how can I live life without colour, am I right?!? 😉 I vote lip stains all the way! I’ve been obsessed with them lately and added Yves Saint Laurent Water Stain Lip Stain 612 Rouge Deluge to my collection. Tagging my lip stain buddy for more recos @Sunnysmom 😘

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

I love this one too @Guessgal thanks for the tag! 🥰 While I love mascara and need it it’s def lippies all the way! Yes to any number of fav lipsticks but yes to all the stains too. I love their translucence or under a lipstick. You gave me a fun little project to dig some out and toss some, look at others, so thank you! Tho I’m sad to toss truly old ones and also remember happily my old Vincent Longo ones. (Anyone remember those?! )

Here are some of my fav stains. ( Horrified to admit a few more exist 😳.) Lipstick would again be like picking a fav child, noooo!  I took some liberties for actual stains vs lips but they still count right. Lol 💋 @TeamBIC 

 

RdF, VBB Cherie, Chanel Ink and below will always be my true loves for stains along with these: 

A few favorite classic true stains would be Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Rose Lip & Cheek Tint 6ml 0.2 oz/ 6 mL 

DIOR Rouge Dior Forever Liquid Transfer-Proof Lipstick 959 Forever Bold 

Yves Saint Laurent Tatouage Couture Liquid Matte Lip Stain 8 Black Red Code 

and I’ll always love Bite Beauty Outburst Longwear Lip Stain Sangria Slush tons.

Do I see a miniature Wine Bottle amongst these gorg. Red l.s?, @Sunnysmom. Such funny packaging! Reminds me of when Moira pulled a big vodka btl. from her Celine tote for the JazzaGals.

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

Haha yes @MvLL ! They are really good tho!  Lol oh man I LOVE Moira!! The best. I love to annoy the hubs and pretend to speak like her! 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

@Sunnysmom cutest collection 💗 also, that make up bag 🤩

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

Aww thanks @Skunk12puzzola ! Imagine yours is so good too! 🥰 Isn’t it so cute?! A gift from a dear friend! 💞

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

@Sunnysmom Yes, but mine are all nudes and mauves 💄 hate red shades on me....

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

That’s perfect @Skunk12puzzola ! We all have shades that work best eh! 🤗😘

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2022: Tag your Favorite Category – Lipstick vs. Mascara

@Sunnysmom Oh I love seeing your lippies, they always bring me such delight 😍  I must take some photos of mine too for fun, maybe this weekend or next! I have one of the Labiotte lippies too! I remember them being so trendy with their cute little bottles hehe.

 

@MvLL Sameeee. I managed to get Orange Fizz, but Sangria Slush kept evading me and going out of stock. I'm confused why Bite's discontinuing it though; it looks like it has great reviews - another goodie gone too soon!
