Facecard Makeup Showdown voting occurs at the end of each timed competition round on Roblox, where up to 10 players in a server review each other's runway looks and award ratings on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. The player who earns the highest overall star average wins the match and claims first place, while star totals contribute directly toward lifetime rank progression.
Understanding how the showcase functions, what peers look for, and how bonus payouts work can help you earn better placements and climb the leaderboard faster.
How the Voting Phase Works
Every competitive round in Facecard: Makeup Showdown begins with a designated theme, such as Brow Game, Mob Wife, Masquerade, Pastel Dream, or Over the Rainbow. Contestants receive a set crafting timer—typically starting around 7 minutes, with options for players to add extra time to the server clock—to design makeup, place lashes, blend contours, and pick hairstyles.
Once the countdown timer hits zero, the game transitions immediately into the presentation and voting stage:
- Photoshoot Showcase: Each player's 3D model appears individually on screen for all server members to inspect. During this display, avatars can showcase chosen poses and facial expressions (such as smirks or winks).
- Star Rating Input: Every participant rates the featured face from 1 to 5 stars using the on-screen rating interface.
- Round Tally: After all submitted faces have been showcased and scored, the game calculates individual scores and displays the final placement rankings from first place down to the bottom of the lobby.
The player with the highest score takes the top podium spot. Achieving first place unlocks the official game badge titled First Lethal Facecard.
Fair Voter Bonus and Currency Rewards
Voting in matches does more than just decide the round winner. The game tracks voting behavior and directly rewards active, impartial scoring through an in-game payout mechanic.
At the conclusion of the voting screen, participants receive feedback on their voting record, including a "Fair Voter" percentage metric. Video gameplay confirms that maintaining a 100% Fair Voter status awards bonus cash at the end of the round.
Earnings from matches include the following verified currency and progression rewards:
| Reward Type | Source | Verified Details |
|---|---|---|
| Round Cash / Dubloons | Match completion & placement | Winning rounds awards in-game currency (e.g., 83 dubloons recorded on a 1st place win). |
| Fair Voter Bonus | Active participation | Additional cash granted when rating looks fairly without skipping or skewing votes. |
| Lifetime Stars | Match ratings received | Star ratings accumulate toward the 10-tier rank progression ladder. |
| Badges | Milestones | "First Lethal Facecard" for 1st place; "Facecard of the Week" for featured artists. |
Players seeking to maximize round earnings can also acquire the official 2x Facecard Cashback game pass (priced at 199 Robux), which doubles credit gains.
Ranks and Star Progression
Stars received during the voting phase accumulate across your account history rather than resetting after each lobby. The game features 10 distinct ranks (including early titles like Glow Getter) that unlock cosmetic and styling assets as you climb.
Accumulating stars unlocks the following functional styling rewards:
- New brow stamp variations
- Distinct eye shapes and presets (such as cat eyes and doll eyes)
- Additional lash sets and styling poses
Winning scores can vary depending on lobby standards. Documented match results show winning averages around 3.2 stars in competitive lobbies, while lower-scoring or incomplete entries often sit between 2.0 and 2.4 stars.
What Influences Player Votes
Because voting is entirely peer-driven, player decisions reflect both technical finish and how well a design aligns with the assigned prompt. Gameplay records show several consistent patterns in how server members assign 1 to 5 stars:
- Strict Theme Adherence: Off-theme looks face heavy score penalties. For instance, players submitting looks without prominent eyebrows during a "Brow Game" round or entering without a painted mask on "Masquerade" consistently receive 2-star or 3-star ratings from peers.
- Completeness: Leaving an avatar bald, having glitching hair attachments, or skipping entire facial areas (such as omitting base foundation or leaving blank lips) often causes voters to treat the look as unfinished.
- Detailing and Layering: Intricate additions—such as hand-drawn eyeliner wings, lace details using brow pencils, stacked lash clusters, and strategic highlighter placement—consistently receive 4-star and 5-star ratings in server showcases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you vote for yourself in Facecard: Makeup Showdown?
No. During competitive rounds, players only rate the other contestants in the server. You cannot assign star ratings to your own look.
How many players participate in a voting lobby?
Facecard: Makeup Showdown servers support up to 10 players per lobby. When a round finishes, all active models in the server are presented sequentially for evaluation.
What happens if you get last place?
Placing last or in lower ranks (such as 6th or 7th in a standard lobby) still grants partial match completion rewards and records the stars you received toward your overall rank. It does not penalize your account or strip unlocked cosmetics.
What does 100% Fair Voter mean?
The Fair Voter metric reflects consistent, active rating participation during the voting photoshoot. Keeping this rating at 100% provides an additional cash payout once the round results screen appears.
