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

Definitely blush!!! BECCA Cosmetics Mineral Blush Flowerchild is fabulous

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

Oh for the showdown between brow pencil and blush, I'm for sure going for brow pencil (even though I voted for brow gel in earlier rounds!). I have such redness in my cheeks that I never, ever wear blush. As far as pencils go, I'm liking this one from Benefit: Benefit Cosmetics Precisely, My Brow Pencil Waterproof Eyebrow Definer - in 2.75, warm auburn

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

@CarolBT Same! These cheeks are naturally flushed 😄

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

Team Blush. I can't remember what I tagged last time but this time I'll tag an older favorite that still works so well for long days- tarte Amazonian clay 12-hour blush 

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

Blush!  Charlotte Tilbury Cheek To Chic Blush Sex On Fire 

 

My eyebrows don't need much help if any.  I can see why so many people are saying brows though.  If I didn't have strong brows naturally I might say brows, too.  Every now and then when I try brow products I go a little too hard and end up looking like Burt from sesame street. 😄  

 

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

Brow Pencil. That’s not even a debate. I don’t step a FOOT outside without it. Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Your Brows Set and Anastasia Beverly Hills DIPBROW® Waterproof, Smudge Proof Brow Pomade Ebony are my twin babies. ❤️❤️❤️

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

Brow pencil is a no brainer for me I'm in my forties and have very little brows left i can't go without my brow pencil. 

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

Blush!

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

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. 🤣

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

@StellaBG You can definitely vote, and every vote counts...so are you sure you're going with blush? 😄

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

@Mcakes 

Team blush for sure. 😊

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

Team brow pencil.

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

@faeriegirl Amen sister, Amen 😄

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

It's Team Blush for me!

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

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. 
Anastasia Beverly Hills Ombre Effect Long Wearing Brow Powder Duo 

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

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

 

Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Brows Tinted Eyebrow Gel 

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

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