New to the forums so I think I read this correctly and can still vote in this round. Team blush all the way! Gorgeous glowy blush. 

Embarrassed to admit but I never touched an eyebrow pencil or gel etc until 2018 (and I’m in my 40’s...LOL) In the miid 90’s -00’s, I worked in a salon and constantly waxed and over plucked my eyebrows trying to achieve that Gwen Stefani pencil thin brow look. 
Well those babies never grew back in.😮

I’ve always been into makeup, but used my bangs as an excuse to hide my non existent eyebrows. I now have a drawer full of brow products and am envious of those of you with beautiful thick brows. I do my brows now but still hide them with my bangs. 🤣

Team brow pencil.

It's Team Blush for me!

[naturalooks15]

As much as I love the idea of blush I feel like on its own (without supporting makeup products) it can’t do as much for a face what a defined brow can do so brow pencil it is for me.

I actually have started using brow powder after one of the Sephora make-up sessions (good old days when I could get that done) as I felt it looked softer and more natural compared to pencil (most probably my lack of skills in using the pencil)

Most days I only do skincare but when I put in 2-5 min for gettting ready, it’s brows, eyeliner and lip balm.

Most definitely, most certainly brows, the frame of the face.

Brow pencil (gel.)  Not even a struggle for me to make this choice. Anastasia Beverly Hills DIPBROW® Gel Granite.

[alexasteph]

For this round, I choose blush! My long standing fave is Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Collection but I also frequently reach for CLINIQUE Cheek Pop Blush. 

[Titian06]

I absolutely love blush...however, I don't have any eyebrows.  BROW PENCIL for me.  (Technically, brow gel, but that's not an option!)

@TeamBIC --

BROW!

   Even though blush is my favorite part of makeup & doing my cheeks is my fave thing; even though I can and often do my eyebrows without one, I have to go with Brow Pencil, as the anchor of my brow routine and the set-up factor for my whole face. 

I have about 6+ different pencils, at least, but ABH Wiz in taupe is always good. 

[Samtian]

Brow Pencil.

[tastelikewater]

Brow pencil for me! I have mild rosacea, so my cheeks don't need any help 😂

[FullCoverageBB]

Okay so, to be fair I actually haven't ever used an eyebrow pencil. But I do adore blush. I mostly like stick blushes.

[Ande13]

Brow pencil all the way! I feel undone if I don't have my brows

[GG84]

YES! @Ande13 BROWS for the win!

[itsfi]

Blush for me @TeamBIC because I can use it as a lippie as well! 😆 Two I find work well as both are MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush Raspberry Beret (thank you again for the gratis!) and. Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick Petal. 

[Sunnysmom]

Definitely a great argument in favor of blush @itsfi ! 😁

[itsfi]

Hahaha @Sunnysmom! I do love that I can use these cream blushes as a lippie. 😍 

[Sunnysmom]

One could say it could make the case for also having an extra lippie @itsfi because you can of course use it vicey versy on the cheek also 😂.

[itsfi]

Yes!!! So true @Sunnysmom; so true! Then I definitely don’t need any more lippies or blush. 😆 

[Sunnysmom]

No @itsfi ! 😩
