Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: CHAMPION REVEALED! Check out Community's Favorite Product

Makeup Madness Challenge 2023Makeup Madness Challenge 2023

 

It’s March, and here in the BIC that can only mean one thing… 🥁… It’s time to celebrate the anniversary of one of our favorite activities: MAKEUP MADNESS! Yes, we’re bringing back this fan-favorite challenge for the third year in a row, where our beloved makeup categories go head-to-head in the ultimate showdown to earn the crown of Community Champion. 👑

 

This year, we’ve retired our previous winners – Mascara (2021) and Lipstick (2022) – and brought in a mix of some new and old categories to face off in some fierce competition. It’s up to YOU to vote on the winner … and share some tried-and-true beauty recs along the way (that’s what we’re really here for, after all).

Don’t know how to play? It’s easy! TO VOTE, hit the reply button below and tell us which category you’re voting for AND tag a product you love that represents the category you’re voting for during that week. For example, @GeorginaBT loves a tingly lip moment, so she might reply with “Lip Plumper! My new fave is Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Gloss Bomb Heat Universal Lip Luminizer + Plumper Hot Chocolit."

  • ROUND 1 (3/3 – 3/9): Lip liner (👑) vs. Lip plumper
  • ROUND 2 (3/10 – 3/16): Face primer (👑) vs. Setting spray

EYESHADOW! PAT McGRATH LABS Mothership VI Eyeshadow Palette - Midnight Sun an honorable mention: PAT McGRATH LABS Mothership VIII Artistry Eyeshadow Palette - Divine Rose II Collection 10 x 0.047 oz/ 1.3 mL 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

All Motherships are so gorgeous, aren’t they @mintkandi? 😍

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

@Saradestin they are! Undeniably! 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

EYESHADOW!!

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

Definitely not as difficult as some of the other parts of the bracket. Team Eyeshadow all the way!

 

I’m having trouble with the analogy for this one. I guess primer would be like buttering the pie plate? Definitely makes life easier but no one really talks about how easy it is to scoop the pie off the pie plate. People like flavour!

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

I also completely forgot! I think it would cool to celebrate the winner of March madness with a sale of the winning product. It would almost coincide perfectly with the spring sale. @TeamBIC 😉

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

Definitely Team Eyeshadow!

Dior BACKSTAGE Eyeshadow Palette in Khaki 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

For me this is an easy one @TeamBIC : definitely EYESHADOW!!! There is so much fun, versatility, creativity… everything!! And now that spring is here and summer is coming, my favorite eyeshadow palette is Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork Vol. IV: Transcendence Palette - Illuminating Eye & Face Pigments ❤️❤️❤️

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

Oh my goodness, eyeshadow is so much more exciting (for me, at least)! 

 

PAT McGRATH LABS Mothership V Eyeshadow Palette - Bronze Seduction 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

Eyeshadow I have to say tarte Tartelette™ Amazonian Clay Matte Eyeshadow Palette  is a current favorite 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

@makeitallup I love this palette as well. I find it so versatile. I love to use it for quick wearable looks or as a base for colorful ones, mixing with other palettes 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

Eye Shadow 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

Easy, isn’t it @greeneyedgirl107 ? 😁

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

@TeamBIC  Time to bring it home Team Eyeshadow! What can’t you do with the right eyeshadow palette? Use your darker shadows with some fixer and boom! Eyeliner! Use any color on your lips, top off with gloss and Shazam! Tinted lips! And don’t get me started about my love of sparkly light shadows pinch hitting for highlighter 😍

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

Eyeshadow took it home! 🥳🥳🥳 

We're on to the final countdown now, ooooh suspense!

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 7 - Face Primer vs. Eyeshadow

Whoops, I forgot to vote @TeamBIC 😂.  I think deep down, I didn't want to...I am Team founshadow!  🤣

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge 2023: Round 6 - Foundation vs. Eyeshadow

My vote is for eyeshadow. It’s a lot more fun than foundation.

 

I already listed my favorites during my last eyeshadow vote, but I just got the Natasha Denona Mini Love Eyeshadow Palette 5 x 0.028 oz/ 0.8g and I love it!
