Ok, I just watched the newest episode today. I think the show is getting better, but it's still looks low budget. I really liked the show girl challenge since it really gave you a chance to go all out. The good & evil thing didn't really seem like that much fun :-(. I'm definitely going to try my hand at show girl makeup though lol.
I didn't really know anyone's name until today lol. I figured I should probably figure that out so I don't have root for that one guy. I really like Nolan and Maxi is actually starting to grow on me (probably should have kept that last part to myself).
Also, from last week's episode, while I think Mike should have gone home for cheating (and I wasn't really a fan of his work), I was upset with the reason that he was sent home last week. Giving your client exactly what they wanted? hmmmmm.... not acceptable. Go home.

Maxi is toning himself down a bit, but he's still a handful. He is talented, but I don't see Max Factor (or anyone) wanting Maxi to rep their brand.
There are a few things that take issue with in the challenges. I really don't think it is fair to get a model with bushy brows, or any model that presents a challenge that the other contestants don't face. It should be as equal as possible.
Also, not to be mean, but just noticing something. Some of the showgirls were clearly more attractive than others. Sure, the makeup is the center of attention, but I have to wonder if the attractiveness of the model sways the mind of the judge on a subconcious or concious level.

Naughty & Nice COULD have been really fun if any of the make-up artists had a shred of imagination, but most of them went straight to "naughty = beat-up crackwhore!" So boring, and so off the mark (in my opinion). My choice for the quick challenge winner honestly would've been whoever did the two black twins (I so wasn't keeping track of who was doing whose make-up for the most part), because IMO their MUA was the only one who actually DID "naughty and nice" as opposed to "bland and on crack." While Maxi's naughty make-up was really well-done, and he was pretty much the only OTHER MUA who didn't do the same boring crackhead thing for naughty, his overall two-look package didn't really do it for me as much as the other pair did.
Honestly, I'm guessing what happened is that Lifetime tried to jump on the reality bandwagon too quickly (since they're getting Project Runway as of next season) and didn't really handle it well. What probably happened is that their casting calls sucked and weren't loud enough, so they only got a crappy, small selection of amateur make-up artists to work with, and picked them based largely on their wacky TV personality (I'm looking at you, Maxi).
So the artists aren't very good, the judges aren't very good, the editing sucks, and the sponsors are just so-so (sorry, Max Factor, but you know it's true). The show format may not be very good either, but it's hard to tell without being behind the scenes and seeing how much time everyone REALLY gets to work on their stuff (you'd be surprised) and how everything really all goes down.

I agree 100%
What if you get the model with horrible skin or something like that. You're screwed when it comes to their face cause it will be impossible to make them look flawless

LOL... ^you are so right about the beat up crackwhore thing! Me and my bf were like.. what the fuuuck is up with all the teased hair and smeared makeup? That's not theatrical, that's just.. a blatant lack of creative vision or laziness, I'm not sure which.
And your theory about the show in general is spot-on. The editing drives me crazy, and so does that post-synchronization or the after dubbing or whatever it was called, haha.. now I can't stop noticing it and it's annoying the crap out of me!
..But I hope now that people know the show exists, more talented (and less batshit crazy) artists will audition if the show gets renewed for next season.
I do enjoy the show, but they really have to step it up a little. I'd like to see a different company sponsoring it if there is a next time as well.
Who is everyone's guess for the winner? I'm thinking Nolan or Todd, they're both really good..but you never know what can happen!

if i was doing that good twin/evil twin i would have gone more angelic, doll-like with the first girl and then vampy, sexy with the evil one... not sorority sister to mentally insane stripper.
if they have a season 2, promise me someone from here will enter...

I agree! It seemed that the others realized they were out of time and started smudging.
The black twins were the clear winners (very pretty), but I do agree with the judges comment about the hair. There could have been more difference between the good and bad twin's hair style.
I had to laugh: I picked DH up from the airport yesterday (biz trip) and he asked me about the show and who was eliminated on the drive home. lol
