[TeamBIC]

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! 

Cream Blush is the Makeup Madness Champion of 2024!

@AvaKrenke, I've never tried a lip oil from either of those brands but am making a note to check them out at some point. 😀

Tinted lip balm! Stays on longer 🙂

Beautiful choice @peculiarzmakeup 😉 RB does lip oils so good!

[itsfi]

Oh this is a lovely formula @peculiarzmakeup. And her shade range is very pretty! 😍

[blackkitty2014]

Oh my favorite madness challenge is back. I pick lip oils just because Guerlain is launching new bee lip oils. Can’t wait for them to be available at Sephora. 😘

[CynthieLu]

I can't wait too hear what you think of those, @blackkitty2014 😉 they sound very promising. 🐝

[blackkitty2014]

Me too @itsfi . And I will report back once I get my paws 🐾 on those Guerlain lip oils 😂🤣 wait did I say I was on low buy 🤪

[itsfi]

@blackkitty2014, low buy is not the same as a 'no buy' so it feels like you are just fine with the purchase(s). And I think you maybe meant lower buy and not a low buy. You know how autocorrect is. 😂

[itsfi]

I look forward to this challenge every year @blackkitty2014‌‌ ❣️ I will prepare my wallet for the Guerlain lip oils. 😂
