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! 😊

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

Oh noooo, you are enabling me, honey!! 😅 @Mcakes my brow gels last me a long time, but maybe I'll just take a peek 👀

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

@Guessgal yes, take a peek then turn your head while it jumps in your basket 😄 What's one more item added to your cart anyway? YOLO

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

@TeamBIC Wow I'm a bit surprised that lipstick lost haha. Hmm for this round, I think brow pencils are nice and all but buying a new blush is more fun! One of my favourites (throwing it way back) was the Nars blush in Goulue that Sephora had as a Rouge re-qualification gift back when they still had those. I definitely miss Goulue in my life 😢

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

I miss re-qualification gifts, without them making Rouge again isn’t so much fun. Maybe maybe we could have them back. I still have Goulue, it is so pretty @Guessgal 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

Oh yes, Goulue was an amazing shade! I miss those gifts too. Wouldn't mind them coming back!

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

I don't think I've ever used a Brow Pencil, so I'm going with blush.

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick Minette 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

@curlychiquita Of course that was the only shade sold out before the sale started because it’s so pretty 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

@SportyGirly125 I definitely love this color! The color of the Melt blush I wanted was sold out, too.

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

@curlychiquita I wanted Melt Golden Hour and it was the only one sold out before the sale started 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

@TeamBIC Brow pencil!

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

The eyes are the windows to the soul; and I need to beautifully frame my windows!  😍

I cannot do without my Brow Pencil!  😀

@NiKay08 

📢 You’re speaking my language! Brows for the win! 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

I cannot stress this enough...🚨BROW PENCIL🚨  LOL more specifically Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer 3-in-1 Triangle Tip 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

My vote goes to brow pencil in this round. I have a large stash of Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz® Ultra-Slim Precision Brow Pencil in Caramel. 
I am shocked that mascara won over lipstick. I tried to tag what I am using this month but I am unable to tag Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real Magnet Extreme Lengthening Mascara. I am impressed with the results! 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

@Loretta55 

🤝 Team BROWS, nice to have you! 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

It is always nice to be welcomed by you @GG84!

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

I'm so sorry I didn't vote the last round, I am team lipstick all the way 😢 Mascara is nice but I mean, you can wear falsies.

 

For week 6, I pick brow pencil hands down. I love blush but I have sparse East Asian brows so this is basically a necessity for me. Currently using Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

@pocketvenus 

YES 👏 Team Brows!!! 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

Ah ha it’s @pocketvenus fault that our lipstick team lost to mascara team 🤪😜😂🤣 Just kidding 🥰

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

Blush! I love a pretty flushed look ! I’m still loving the MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush Raspberry Beret 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge Week 6: Brow Pencil vs. Blush

Brow pencil. Can't leave home without it. I wish Sephora sold my favorite (Kimiko Super Fine Eyebrow Pencil) so I wouldn't have to keep tagging Benefit Cosmetics Precisely, My Brow Pencil Waterproof Eyebrow Definer Shade 6 (I still like it, but not nearly as much as the Kimiko pencil). 

 

Also, I'm far less invested in this tournament now that lipstick's out. 😂😭 Lipstick will always be the champ for me.
