Facecard: Makeup Showdown [⭐UPD] Beginner Guide

First session

1. Read the theme before you paint — Wait out the lobby countdown if you joined between rounds. When the paint screen opens, read the banner. It shows the theme, a one-line brief, and the clock. The clock turns pink near the end. There are over a hundred themes. Match the brief first, then add detail.
2. Paint on a clean face — Every contest round starts on a clean bust. Your head base is the only choice that stays. Pick Classic, Aniya, or Mina under STYLE if you have not already. Then use MAKEUP: product on the left, colour on the right, draw on the face. Mirror starts on, which keeps both sides matched.
3. Brush settings — Size, Strength, Softness, layers, and the pipette are explained in the painting guide.
4. Head bases — All three bases are free and remembered for later rounds.
5. Finish, then vote fairly — Press DONE and confirm the second tap, or let the clock collect the look as it is. During voting, rate every other look from 1 to 5 stars. Skipping a look counts as 1 star. You cannot rate yourself. Reactions do not change the score.
6. What to open next — After one round you will know whether you want a saved face shape, a Freeplay practice look, or the rank ladder. Use the guides below instead of repeating the whole round here.
7. Full round guide — Lobby, late joins, extra time, and how ties break.
8. Sculpt — The two unlock steps, sliders, and presets.
9. Codes — Where the button is, and why no code string is listed.
