- Winners are decided by player voting — each battle server holds up to 10 players, and everyone votes on the submitted looks.
- The developers have not published an official scoring formula. The advice on this page is community observation, not confirmed mechanics.
- The three pillars: match the theme literally, keep colours harmonious, finish before the timer.

Match the Theme Literally
Voters scan entries quickly, and the first thing they check is whether the look answers the theme. A dramatic dark-arts look will lose a soft-pastel theme to a simpler entry that clearly fits the brief. Before styling, say the theme out loud and name two or three visual elements it implies — then make sure those elements are unmistakable in your entry.
This is also why pre-planned palettes work: check the themes and look ideas page, keep four style directions ready, and map the round to one of them in the first minute.
Voting Tips That Hold Up in Any Lobby
Read the room
Look at what other players submit before voting finishes. It teaches you what the lobby rewards — literal reads, bold colour or clean finish — for the next round.
Vote honestly
Voting is part of the reward loop. Vote for the entries that best answer the theme, not strategically; the rewards come from taking part.
Play with friends
Servers hold up to 10 players. Join a friend’s server through Roblox’s join-friend feature and compare looks round by round — you improve faster with feedback.
Time Management Under the Contest Timer
Many entries lose votes not on style but on completion: unfinished lashes, half-styled hair or unblended edges. Budget your round instead of spending it all on the eyes:
- First 10% — read the theme and pick your palette.
- Middle 60% — block in the makeup, then hair and lashes (see the hair and lashes guide).
- Last 30% — clean-up: sharp edges, balanced colours, one final look at the whole silhouette.
The redo window is your friend — if a look is not reading, reworking one bold element beats adding more detail to a muddled design.
Colour Harmony Beats Colour Count
Two or three harmonious colours read clearly from the voting screen; ten competing ones blur into noise at thumbnail size. Pick a base, one accent and one highlight, and carry the same family through makeup, hair colour and lashes so the entry reads as one coordinated look. The full layering workflow lives in the makeup tutorial.
Is there an official scoring formula in Makeup All Stars?
Not that the developers have published. Winners are decided by player voting. Treat theme matching, colour harmony and clean finishes as community voting wisdom, not confirmed mechanics.
Do I win anything by voting?
Yes. The official description confirms rewards come from battles and from voting — both are part of the reward loop.
What loses the most votes?
Unfinished looks. Voters reward complete entries: styled hair, lashes on, clean edges. Budget the last quarter of your timer for clean-up.
Does playing with friends help?
For improvement, yes. A friend group fills a server of up to 10 players, and round-by-round feedback is the fastest way to learn what the lobby rewards.
