The Facecard: Makeup Showdown update wave introduces major additions to the competitive Roblox beauty title, including custom head bases, Pro and VIP servers, a redesigned blending system, and friend-joining functionality.

How to Check the In-Game Update Log and Version Number
Players do not have to rely on third-party channels to see what changed in the latest build. Facecard: Makeup Showdown includes an integrated patch history viewer directly inside the client.
- Click the gear icon at the top right of the screen to open the Settings panel.
- Select the WHAT'S NEW option from the menu list.
- Use the arrow buttons next to the date to scroll through prior update logs and past patch announcements.
When encountering glitches or reporting bugs to the developer's Discord server, check the bottom of the Settings panel. A specific version identifier is printed there (such as v512 · 3F9A2C). Submitting this exact string alongside your device type helps the team track bugs to the exact game build.
New Makeup Tools, Blending Modes, and Performance Tips
The introduction of the new blending mode changes how pigments interact on the 3D model. Unlike the classic blender, the updated mode merges transitions on eye shadow and contour layers with softer gradients.
However, community testing and official troubleshooting documentation highlight a few technical considerations:
- Brush Size and Lag: Using very large blender brush sizes while the Mirror feature is activated causes the highest performance load. If stuttering or input lag occurs on mobile or older devices, decrease the brush size by a notch or lower the global graphics slider in the Roblox settings menu.
- Layer Hygiene: Merging completed layers frees up memory and keeps drawing strokes responsive. If a brush refuses to apply pigment, confirm that the target layer is visible (the eye icon is toggled on) and that the color pipette tool is switched off.
- VIP Exclusive Tools: Certain cosmetic items—such as rhinestones and specific lash clusters—require VIP status. Attempting to apply these without an active VIP pass prevents the brush from painting.
Store Passes and Lookbook Slots
Facecard: Makeup Showdown remains free to play, with all players receiving access to the same core brushes, base tools, and voting rounds. For players wanting expanded workspace and cosmetics, the official Roblox experience sells four optional game passes:
| Game Pass | Official Robux Price | In-Game Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| VIP | 399 Robux | Grants access to Pro/VIP servers and exclusive tools like rhinestones and lash clusters |
| 2x Facecard Cashback ($) | 199 Robux | Doubles the credits earned from playing and placing in rounds |
| Increased Layer Limit | 129 Robux | Increases the maximum layer cap allowed on a single look |
| Increased Lookbook Slots 2x | 199 Robux | Doubles available save slots in the Lookbook to store custom presets |
Between competitive matches, the in-game Shop tab features rotating cosmetic selections under Today's Deals, allowing players to spend earned credits on specialized items such as Sanpaku Eyes or Ghost Eyes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when the game displays a "Servers Restarting" message?
A server restart notification with a countdown timer indicates that a live update is being deployed to Roblox. Rounds should be concluded promptly. Any work created in Freeplay mode is saved automatically so you can resume painting after rejoining a fresh server.
Does the new Facecard: Makeup Showdown update add redeem codes?
Existing data confirms there is no active promo code redemption system or redeem button in Facecard: Makeup Showdown. Any site or video offering working codes or Robux generators for the game is illegitimate. Official updates and announcements are posted through the game's Roblox description page and verified group links.
How do you save custom looks created with new update items?
Open the Lookbook panel at the bottom right of the makeup station screen. Enter a title in the "Name this look" field, then click "Save New." The saved face can be reloaded in later rounds by highlighting the preset and clicking "Load."
