We’re kicking off March right by bringing back the BIC’s favorite beauty bracket challenge – Makeup Madness! 😉 For the fourth year in a row, we’re putting makeup-related categories to the test by asking Community members to pick their favorite between two every week. At the end of the bracket, we’ll know which makeup category will earn this year’s Community Champion crown. 👑

In past years, Mascara, Lipstick, and Eyeshadow have earned the honorable title of Makeup Madness winner. This year, we’re bringing eight fresh categories into the frenzy – we’ll reveal them slowly and keep a visual of the current bracket updated below!

I vote cream blush!! MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush Beverly Hills has been my go-to lately. This is a bit lighter and more nude than what I typically go for, but I actually do like how it looks on me!

[Loretta55]

Thank you very much @CynthieLu.  Nudestix blushes may be on sale this week if Sephora matches Ulta’s prices. I may add a few colors to my collection. Nudestix has Friends and Family sale at the moment.

[CynthieLu]

Oooh gotta love a sale, and the great re-stock your stash opportunity. 🙂 @Loretta55 I don't imagine will see the sales here on the Canadian site, but maybe we will? 🤩

[Loretta55]

I was correct @CynthieLu , Nudestix blushes are on sale today at least on the US site.

[Shosh85]

Blush!! Hands down! I have never once used contour of any kind but I definitely love cream blushes and it's part of my daily makeup routine 😃

The two that I alternate with the most is MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush Beverly Hills and Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Magic Hour
