Hi Ladies–the contest is closed. We already had it and the winner was announced: http://www.makeupminute.com/fafi-contest-winner-is

I’m sure I’ll have more MAC contests down the line and have this great list of ideas to fall back on. :)

Why don’t you have a contest of “WHO is a Fafi girl?” Contestants can send pictures of what they think a Fafi girl is/looks like……or have girls dress up like the cute Fafi girls/characters that are featured on the products. That would be fun !!

How about a spin-off of your own BACK TO MAC program? The enrant who can send in the most empty Mac containers, compacts, etc. will win the prize!

agree with julie, choosing a look a like contest would just be too obvious. I’m excited for the contest as well. I always read your blog, but never comment. This will definitely pull me from hiding. This is great.

your choice of contest was a very good one, this way i can read up on a fun site & learn from its history of past posts too! Plus, with my new daughter (3mos) i have been up with insomnia for awhile now (even when she sleeps I cant) so this is giving me something fun to do! ;-)

I have to be honest, the FAFI dolls are kind of weird in their oversexed-ness. I’m glad that you chose a different contest instead of a lookalike competition!! This is much more meaningful.

I live in the US, but I feel sorry for Pia – why not offer them the option of paying for the shipping??? That would solve a lot. I can think of a bunch of contest ideas – 1. celebrity look-a-likes and it doesn’t have to be a current celebrity it could be someone from decades ago – showing the versatility of the makeup; 2. collaborating with a photographer and stylist to come up with a “fafi ad” for Mac; 3. the obvious – a before fafi after fafi on someone unexpected, where the transformation is shocking; 4. an avante-garde fashion look along the lines of dior – trying to duplicate the outrageousness of the styling with props and some creativity; 5. creating a look for each season with appropriate backgrounds and props for hair, jewelry, clothing; 6. taking someone from natural to way out – again showing the versatility of your skills in applying and the flexibility of the makeup; 7. making someone look like the most glamorous version of themselves – high glam or rocker makeup; 8. or create a fafi doll from one of those mannequin heads – get someone to do the hair. Hopefully this will spark some more ideas. Good luck and I look forward to seeing the results.

Pia–I know I’m sorry. :( It’s just too expensive for me to ship outside the US (a small package to Hong Kong cost me $30 once–this MAC package would be much bigger/heavier)–plus having to deal with customs. :( Sorry.
