Overview

Plug in your curlers, sharpen up your scissors, and dust off your makeup brushes — we’re running the Hair and Makeup Contest! From simple hairdo and makeup tutorials to more involved coiffure or cosmetic-related projects, we want to see it all.

If manly beauty or nail art is your jam, make sure you enter: we have special judges’ prizes for those categories.

We're giving away Birchbox subscriptions, Sephora gift packs, Chanel nail polish, and more!
