Facecard Makeup Showdown Head Bases Tier List

Your head base is the one Style choice that persists between contest rounds in Facecard: Makeup Showdown. Makeup, lashes, and piercings wipe when a new round starts; the head you last selected stays. That makes head selection the highest-leverage early decision on this tier list. This page ranks Classic, Aniya, Mina, Collie, and Rina for competitive star farming and for slower Freeplay practice.

Return to the Tier List Hub for ranking criteria, or jump to Lashes and Eyes after you lock a head. New players should skim Getting Started first so Style, Makeup, and Sculpt tabs are familiar.

Ranking rules for heads

• S tier — default for most themes; readable silhouette; pairs cleanly with free eyes.
• A tier — excellent when the theme or skin story matches; still safe in mixed lobbies.
• B tier — strong niche looks; slightly harder to read or slower to style under pressure.
• C tier — learn on these in Freeplay; swap before serious star pushes if another head fits better.

Face shape is not a head base. Unlock Sculpt by joining the Facecard: Makeup Showdown Roblox group and liking the experience, then save presets. Sculpt refines the bust you already chose; it does not replace Classic with Aniya.

Competitive tier list

S — Classic

Classic is the safest competitive default. The proportions read as a neutral editorial canvas, so soft glam, clean girl, and bold graphic themes all land without fighting the bone structure. Free eyes (Natural, Doe, Bright) sit naturally on Classic, and paid eyes (Star, Sparkles, Doll, Heart) do not look overbuilt. When the lobby is mixed skill and the timer is short, Classic plus a free Doe eye and a mid-volume lash strip is a reliable path to three-plus stars.

Use Classic when you do not know the theme yet, when you are teaching a friend, or when you are grinding ranks for cash toward shop unlocks. See Ranks and Cash for how stars feed the Bare Face to Face Card Legend ladder.

S — Aniya

Aniya shares the top band because the warmer default skin story and feature set sell bronze, gold, and rich glam themes hard. Contour and highlight read clearly, and piercings such as Septum, Nose Stud, or Medusa frame the midface without clutter. Aniya is the pick when the theme card screams glow, sunset, editorial bronze, or “main character” glam.

Competitive tip: set Aniya and your preferred free eye before paint. Do not repaint foundation just to chase another head mid-round—you will burn layers and time. If you own VIP, rhinestones and Neon accents pair especially well with Aniya’s warmer read, but they are optional.

A — Mina

Mina is a high A for soft, doll-adjacent, and cooler-toned themes. The structure favors Doe and Doll eyes, wispy lashes, and delicate piercings like Nose Stud or Snake Bites rather than heavy Punk Princess sets. Mina climbs into S for “innocent,” “pastel,” or “glass skin” prompts, then drops to solid A when the lobby wants sharp cut crease and chrome.

Freeplay players often main Mina for Lookbook soft glam saves. Contest players should keep Classic or Aniya as a one-click fallback if the theme suddenly turns editorial harsh.

A — Collie

Collie arrived with the larger content expansions that also brought extra lashes and faces. Collie rewards players who want a distinct silhouette without abandoning contest readability. Treat Collie as A: excellent when you already know how its planes take blush and liner, slightly riskier if you have never practiced it under a timer.

Spend one Freeplay session mapping where winged liner sits on Collie, then bring it into voting. Pair with Bright or Star eyes for high-contrast themes. Avoid loading Collie for the first time during a ranked cash grind.

B — Rina

Rina is a stylish B for competitive play and a high A for Freeplay creativity. The head reads more character-forward, which wins when the theme asks for attitude, but can distract when voters want a classic beauty ad face. Rina plus Dramatic Doll lashes and Heart or Doll eyes can steal a round; Rina plus unfinished paint looks unfinished faster than Classic does.

Unlock cash and practice poses on Rina in Freeplay, then rotate to Classic or Aniya when you need consistent placement for 2x Earnings farming.

Freeplay-adjusted order

In Freeplay (no timer), the order flexes:

1. Mina / Collie / Rina — explore unique planes and save distinct Lookbook cards.
2. Aniya — build warm glam libraries.
3. Classic — keep one clean “control” look to test new eyes and lashes fairly.

Freeplay is where you should test VIP lash clusters, More Layers blends, and piercing stacks (Septum + Snake Bites + Medusa) without risking a round’s average.

Workflow: Style before heavy paint

1. Open Style → Head and lock Classic, Aniya, Mina, Collie, or Rina.
2. Set Eyes (free first) and optional hair, bangs, piercings, pose.
3. Unlock and load a Sculpt preset if available.
4. Move to Makeup for base, brows, eyeshadow, liner, lips, and lashes.
5. Only then add rhinestones or VIP clusters if time remains.

Skipping Style first is the most common reason strong painters still place mid-pack: the canvas fights the theme.

Cash prices for paid eyes sit near $11,750 each—confirm in the shop before buying. Redeem codes for Dramatic Doll lashes and cash cards first.

Common mistakes

• Switching heads after painting half a face.
• Treating Sculpt as a substitute for picking Aniya or Mina.
• Forcing Rina on every soft theme because it looks unique in Freeplay.
• Ignoring patch notes when new heads ship—check Patch Notes after large updates.
