There’s only one week left to enter Battle of the Brushes

Two of Australia’s best makeup artists will battle it out head-to-head with 40 minutes to create an original look and be crowned victorious in the Battle of the Brushes – it could be you.

Submissions are now open online for makeup artists to join the Battle of the Brushes quest and have the chance to win $6,500 in prizes – simply upload between 5 and 10 images, showing at least two different models and looks.

Prizes include an editorial feature in INSTYLE and Professional Beauty Magazine, a professional photo shoot valued at $2,500 and a website with one year free web hosting valued at $4,000.

A judging panel, including Cameron Pine, Editor INSTYLE Magazine, and Jennie Lewis-Teal, Deputy Editor, Professional Beauty Magazine, will select two grand finalists who will then battle it out brush-style.

When two grand finalists enter the ring, each will be provided with an identical brief, professional models, identical makeup kits and a professional hair team with no more than 40 minutes to create an original look.

This is the ultimate makeup challenge – whose brush will reign supreme?

Entries are now open and close June 14, 2011.
