This show has got to be a joke. First of all, these contestants aren't PROFESSIONAL Makeup Artists. They're Instagram famous. Doing makeup really well on yourself does NOT makeup you a Makeup Artist. The contestants have almost zero skill when it comes to applying makeup to OTHER people. So just make this an Instagram/selfie competition and that would be closer to the truth. Don't have these people doing makeup on others. It was so atrocious I barely made it through the first episode. And some of these Instagram influences are so injected that they look absolutely ridiculous outside of selfies. They're completely unrealistic and look absurd all for the sake of being Instafamous. I've been a Makeup Artist for 15 years and I'm disgusted by this show. Again, why the hell are you going to take people who aren't makeup artists and have them do makeup on other people and call it a makeup competition? The one girl's foundation was so far from her correct color that I truly believed the show was fake. I felt bad for the judges because it really felt like they were forced to find the good in each piece these people created. The guy who won the first episode at least had some skill in his avant-garde look. That was something. But all in all the show is terrible.
