Attention all YouTubers! NYX has a contest for you!

NYX Cosmetics is proud to present the Fine Artistry of Cosmetic Elites (FACE) Awards. Over the years, we have seen the beauty vlogger community grow into one of the most robust, energetic communities on Youtube and across the web. We wanted to create an event that gives back to this community and rewards them for their passion and creativity. The FACE Awards allows us to shed a spotlight on the up and coming beauty vloggers, and unite the community behind a single annual event.

Beyond the $25,000 cash prize for the winner, we’re hoping to help launch a promising career in the beauty industry. That includes access to influential insiders, consultations with top industry experts, and national publicity. Most importantly, we’re relying on the beauty community to select their 6 favorite beauty gurus to compete for the top prize. The 5 runners up will each receive a year’s supply of NYX Cosmetics for reaching the finals, but there can only be one National Beauty Vlogger of the Year.
