Photos of your work

Good quality is a requirement for the chance of a good rating. Only what the jury can also clearly see, they can also judge.
Photos must be uploaded in JPG format and should be at least 2000 x 2000 pixels.

All models in the photos must be at least 18 years old and must be informed in writing about the rights to the image, if applicable. The rights to the image are automatically transferred to the World Beauty Cup team at the moment of uploading in order to make the photos available to the jury and, after the announcement of the winners, to make them available to other participants and interested parties.
No watermarks on the photos.
No editing of the photos at all. No skin retouching either. Only 100% unedited photographs are considered for evaluation.

Level Classification

The Lashart & Browlifting categories have NO levels. All competitors are in the same level.
Junior: You have never won 1st to 3rd place in the respective category or upper category.
Expert: You have won 1st to 3rd place in a category or upper category competition before.
Category eyelash extension includes: Classic, 2D-3D, 4D-5D, Kim Kardashian style, Colored eyelashes, Lashes for men.
Category lash lifting stands on its own.
Permanent Makeup category includes all PMU categories
Category nails includes all nail design categories.
Please make sure that you are in the correct level, as you cannot change it once a payment has been made. We reserve the right to disqualify competitors if they knowingly place themselves in the wrong category. In this case, any trophies and prizes must also be returned.
Example: You have won 2nd place in a competition in the past in the category “Eyelash Extension Classic” and would now like to participate in the competition in the category “Eyelash Lifting”. Thus you would be a junior in the category “Eyelash Lifting” if you have never won anything for your eyelash lifting. If you also want to participate in eyelash extension “2D-3D”, you would be in here Expert, because you have already won something in the category eyelash extension in the past.
