[TeamBIC]

Finally, a sport we can all get behind... MAKEUP MADNESS! In the spirit of March, we’ve put together the ultimate battle of the beauty favorites – bracket style! – and it’s YOUR turn to vote! Each week, we’ll have a new showdown, pitting tried-and-true makeup categories against each other until we narrow it down and crown the Community Champion makeup product category… and hopefully get some all-star recs along the way! 😊

TO VOTE, hit the reply button below and TAG a product you love that represents the category you’re voting for. For example, @AlexBT can’t live without her signature cat eye, so in the battle between Mascara vs. Eyeliner, she might reply with “EYELINER! Anastasia Beverly Hills Waterproof Matte Liquid Eyeliner 0.08 oz/ 2.4 mL” 😼

Each new round of voting starts Fridays at 2pm PT, and ends the following Thursday at 2pm PT:

• ROUND 1 (3/3-3/11): Mascara (👑) vs. Eyeliner 
• ROUND 2 (3/12-3/18): Lip Gloss vs. Lipstick (👑)

@sprocketta,

You are The Spokesperson for Lipstick!  💋

Blush takes the cake for Round 4 of Makeup Madness: Battle of the Cheek Products! Thanks for voting, BIC – deep inside, I know many of us wouldn’t want to go without one or the other. 😊

We’re getting closer and closer to the championship! This week, we’re coming back around and putting two of your favorite categories against each other: MASCARA vs. LIPSTICK. As if the first couple of matchups weren’t difficult enough already … this one will definitely be a challenge!

Vote for either mascara or lipstick, and when tagging a product within that category, feel free to either tag the same the same product you tagged previously (if you voted in Round 1 or 2), or tag another favorite!

Bronzer!

[Laneymuah]

Team bronzer all the way! If I don’t have blush I can even use a light bronze to add color to my cheeks.

I like the #TOOFACED , #TARTE and other bronzer palettes that give me shade options as well as a good drugstore option is always- #BUTTERBRONZER

[Annabelle2005]

Bronzer 

[BlueBlossomXOXO]

I am going to go with a bronze.

[missjeanie]

Another vote for TEAM BLUSH here.  I actually rarely use a bronzer.  I'm pretty pale and stay sunsafe year round so bronzer tends to look a little out of place if I'm not super careful.  Favourite blushes the last few years are creams.  The MILK MAKEUP Lip + Cheek Werk is easy to use everyday.  The last few months the Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blush After Hours  have been taking over as I finish up a Becca cream blush that got me started in creams.  There will for sure be a few new ones coming to live with me in the upcoming sale.

Team Blush all day!! I love the different options for formulas/finishes/colors. I am loving a blush contour right now!!

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush 

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick 

MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush 

ILIA Color Haze Multi-Use Pigment 

Kosas Color & Light: Crème Cream Blush & Highlighter Duo 

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Collection (do better about your shade ranges!)

NUDESTIX Nudies Cream Blush All-Over-Face Color 

And so many formulas I want to try that I am going to get in the sale.

[curlychiquita]

I've been looking into the orange and terracotta shades, also, @haleyvvvv! Terracotta seems to work well for everyone. That Merit blush color looks gorgeous.

[haleyvvvv]

Oooh, I have Merit in Mood and Fenty in Drama Cla$$, I just tagged the general products, @curlychiquita!! I do love orange blushes though!! I really want all of the shades of the Merit, including Terracotta. 

[curlychiquita]

@haleyvvvv I own Fenty in Drama Cla$$, too! 

[alexasteph]

At first I was leaning towards blush, but the more I think about it if I could only choose one I’d need to pick bronzer! I find bronzer can be more versatile. My faves are a discontinued Dior and that pink leopard Too Faced one, as well as a Laura Gellar one. I also love the OG Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Bronzer! 

[Mcakes]

This is the easiest choice yet lol. Bronzer for sure! I just want to be a bronzed goddess like J.Lo. Is that too much to ask for? 😄

I've tried many bronzers, but I always go back to Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer . It's that perfect shade that doesn't lean too warm or too cool, works as a beautiful crease shade in a pinch, and HELLO it smells like chocolate! 

[blackkitty2014]

😂🤣 @Mcakes Nope totally valid reasoning 😘

[Mcakes]

But if you think I'm not getting those new Hermes blushes...you're wrong 😛

[itsfi]

100% with ya @Mcakes! 👊🏼 

[Titian06]

@TeamBIC - BLUSH for me!  I even wear bronzer like blush!  My fave is an indy brand.

[Nozz]

I mean I love them both but My go to is bronzer

Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look in a Face & Eye Palette  

[GeorginaBT]

This week, I'm voting for blush! I don't really have a natural flush, so I rely on it to bring some life to my face. 😂 Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Magic Hour is my current fave - it sits really nicely on top of foundation. 

[haleyvvvv]

Oooh, I can't wait to try this formula, @GeorginaBT!! Spring sale can't start too soon!!
