Blush: The Search for America's Greatest Makeup Artist

[chocolategoddes]

I LOVED Maxie's disco look, though!

The way I see it is, it'll probably be like Project Runway of Glam Gods, where the contestants' skills won't be comparable to professional work, especially put under that much stress with limited time and tools (to make things more challenging)

Or more... IDK.. I was not impressed. Not sure if it was the photography like Maxi claims or if it was just rushed and ugh. And Im sorry but Im not a fan of those max factor products. Im glad they can use what is in thier kits.

I've seen at least a dozen posters here who had better work and better photography with thier digi cams. Better lines, better color payoff, all right here at Specktra. They should have recruited you all.

Hopefully next week is better.

I wasnt really impressed either. But I feel like I can pick up a lot of tips fromthe show.

Vanessa Marcil! *drool drool drool* I love her. The show is ok, hopefully it'll get better! I have faith that it will once the competition starts getting uber fierce.

Okay, so can we nominate a couple of girls to represent Specktra?

Also, what's with the judge with the awful lip job. I have no clue why people have it done, it almost never looks good and makes it so painful to watch the show.

I'm glad something like this came out. Although, like someone mentioned, I think this show would have been given more justice if they were awarded producers from BRAVO.

I really wish there was more of the show dedicated to the makeup application. Like, I wish they showed more of the artists doing the makeup and less blabber.
That being said, why is the guy in the mask SOOOO annoying. I just want to strangle him. It's unfortunate that he's one of the most talented of the bunch because he irritates the crap out of me.
My bf is rooting for Mike (the guy with the long hair, bald spot and bushy beard) because he says that he looks like the odd person out. "He looks like a serial killer" is what I think he said.

Anywho, who do you guys think is going to win?

 

[OfficerJenny]

I think Nolan is gonna win Dx

Omg some of that makeup was a joke. Seriously??
Hopefully it gets better in time. And I knew that girl was gonna get booted because she was unwilling to step outside her box.

He's adorable! I also like the color blind guy. I was surprised when he said he was color blind...at first I thought he was just exaggerating (because of the blue lips he chose). I wonder what it's like to be a color blind MUA

I'm glad that girl got kicked off, I wanted to slap her. She kept bitching about how she "didn't do crazy/OTT makeup". Well, um -- then why the hell are you even here?! This isn't 'The Search for America's Greatest Smoky Eye and Nude Lip', bitch.. try to dig up a creative brain cell and put it to use.

What a whiny little twat, I swear.. you somehow make it on a tv competition and all you can do is bitch about how you're not used to this kind of work? Yeah, bye..




Other than that.. Maxi is obnoxious as hell.. but I did like the show. I have high hopes that it will get better once the douchebags are weeded out, haha.

I loved the show last night. My only complaint is that the contestants need to impress the judges more. They need to push the envelope so to speak. I think they sent home the right person last night.

You couldnt have said it better. The girl that got booted was just too plain. She kept doing wedding looks. She was like i'm not gonna be the artist im not...um hello as an artist you need to know how to do things you dont like to do as well. but i wasnt that impressed with the artist...i liked the color blind guy too. his disco look was awesome. as for the girl that thought she was doing disco thinking about madonna needs to know her resources like that told her...well if i hate seeing paris bff and i sometimes get lured to see it anyway i def am going to keep watching this too..i hope they get better at those looks.

 

[rebekah]

i can't believe the girl that was like ''i only do beauty makeup'' that's like saying i'm a painter but i can only paint one painting.

i think maxi is really great despite his obvious character flaws.

i never thought about stencils and am glad that i saw that because i'm totally inspired now.

i can't wait until next week but i hope it doesnt span a huge ''omg i want to be a makeup artist'' in every 14 year old girl like project runway did with fashion designers.

How about you be an ARTIST i.e. has some creativity when you come on the show? She got on my last nerve.

I really like the work done by Maxi but he too gets on my last nerve. It's like he's an attention whore and needs for everyone to kiss his butt. Stop looking for compliments and be confident in your work. And stop making excuses and listen!!! ugh. It doesn't matter what you would of, could of, should of done. This is what you did and this is what you will be judged on. Deal with it.

I think I like the color blind guy the best though. His disco look was totally awesome and that would be super hot for a video. And I'm still mad at the chick who said Madonna is disco.... and then said "I'm the youngest one here" AND???? You are still supposed to know your references. I wasn't alive either when disco was popular but I sure know what a disco look looks like. I really find it hard to believe that she has never seen a movie or tv show with disco.

Overall I liked the show but wasn't impressed with the talent displayed. I'm hoping it gets better as the challenges get harder...and once hey weed out the crappy ones. I like the little tips they give out here and there too.

 

[banjobama]

I'm watching this RIGHT NOW. My first thought is: They cannot be really using those horrible horrible Max Factor trios, those square ones. They suck!!

 

[studiosila]

They should have open auditions for the talent here! Im quite sure most of us would not have lame excuses like, im too young or the youngest, i can only do pretty looks, hot air stunts like ive done more videos than any one in the world----
I am so tempted to fix Farah's eyebrows too!

ITA on both both points! Although, what she did wasn't even all that beautiful lol. The judges were right--it looks like the model did her own makeup. What the girl who got kicked off was wearing on herself looked better than what she did on the model IMO.

They really do... no color payoff at all!

 

[banjobama]

Alright, I watched the first episode. Why didn't they look at the models in real life? Maybe to see what photos of them look like?

They definitely need to check some threads here on Specktra, like the Halloween contest. That guy who won has NOTHING on the Halloween entries!

 

[ilurvemakeup]

Watched it last night and loved it! My hubby even got into it haha xD

Yeah that would of been nice, but I like that the models pics weren't airbrushed at least to me it didn't appear so
