Server capacity is an official API field. It does not mean every round has ten active contestants. A 300-second round timer has not been confirmed by the sources reviewed.
What Makeup Mania rounds involve
The developer description establishes the broad loop: create makeup, style your character, compete in a themed round, and vote for looks. It does not document every phase or say how long each phase lasts.
Use the prompt and timer actually shown in your session. The wiki avoids naming an exact countdown, voting window, intermission length, or number of winners because those details were not available in the checked sources.
Plan around the timer you can see
Begin with a complete basic look before adding detail. Choose a main color, a defining edge, and hair that keeps the eye visible. Once that base reads clearly, spend the remaining visible time on a small accent.
If you are running short of time, remove competing details instead of changing the entire concept. This is a general workflow suggestion, not an official phase schedule. No fixed split such as three minutes for makeup and two for hair is claimed here.
Voting and rewards: what remains unknown
The official description says players vote for their favorite looks and earn rewards. It does not provide the scoring scale, tie rules, reward amounts, minimum votes, or a formula relating votes to currency.
Do not treat a paid pass, pose, or particular color as a guaranteed ranking boost. The gamepass descriptions reviewed list cosmetic or convenience benefits, without a promised voting advantage. Our runway guide focuses on making your intended theme easy to see.
Round rules may change during BETA
The recorded title includes BETA. Check the visible instructions in your current session and use a dated developer announcement for any changed rules. A changed Roblox metadata timestamp alone cannot tell us that the timer or reward system changed.
To report a correction, include the date, the prompt, the phase, and what the screen actually displayed. Keep an observed countdown separate from an official rule: late joining or time already elapsed can make a single observation misleading.
