Makeup Madness Challenge: CHAMPION REVEALED - Check out the winner and Community Favorite makeup products!

[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 (👑)

@fatimamummy   The brush on the Ilia mascara is very unique; I don't think I've ever seen one like that before.  Does it help prevent clumping well?

Probably will have to go with mascara here, because I was not naturally blessed with thick, long lashes. 

currently using PAT McGRATH LABS Dark Star Volumizing Mascara 0.43 fl oz / 13 mL

Hmmm...choosing mascara because although my lips sometimes have enough natural color, my eyelashes never stand out on their own.  Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Lengthening Mascara

Between you @Sunnysmom , @WinglessOne and @sprocketta , I think I would have been gobsmacked if you didn't vote lipstick 😂

[Sunnysmom]

😂 @danielledanielle ! So predictable! Ugh. 

[danielledanielle]

Heh, no! @Sunnysmom   You say predictable, I say "staunch advocate."

[Sunnysmom]

😀much better word yes @danielledanielle ! 

[Loretta55]

My eyelashes are pretty long but light at the ends so I feel that I look okay without mascara so lipstick will be my choice of product even if nobody will see it. I love a blue red lipstick or a nice and bright berry/pink lipstick. I am looking forward to the day that I can leave my house without wearing a mask and feeling safe. Armani Beauty Lip Maestro Notorious ( not being allowed to tag #400 four hundred red), PAT McGRATH LABS MatteTrance™ Lipstick Divine Rose also Executive Realness. These days with mask wearing I need to tag a couple of tinted lip balms and masks tarte SEA Jelly Glaze Anytime Lip Mask Strawberry Jelly tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm (all colors) Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm in Nearly Mauve.

[heavyhedon]

Love your choices here @Loretta55 -- There is something about that Tarte Sea Jelly Glaze I have liked lately, it took me awhile to get into it; but now I'm very happy with the texture and feel.

[Loretta55]

I agree with your statement @heavyhedon. 

[Guessgal]

@Loretta55 You’ve gotten me peeking at those Maracuja lip balms! I’m really liking the look of that Raspberry shade! You’ve tried all the colours already?? 😯❤️

[Loretta55]

I have all of the shades of tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm with the exception of guava and clear @Guessgal . There is a strong coconut scent but it does not linger.

[Nozz]

Mascara! Specially in this Covid-19

I am definitely on team lipstick!  Lipstick was the first makeup I tried.  Lipstick was the first makeup I used regularly.  Lipstick was the first makeup I wore in public; and I have never looked back!  💄💋
