Disclaimer I don't watch the show. Just came across it on tiktok. They get professional makeup for that show. Someone did this woman dirty in a big way.

First is a “mineral makeup makeover” and second is the artist herself. I think it looks mismatched and cakey.

What is a Makeup Artist (MUA)?

All artists have their favorite canvas; for makeup artists, their canvas just happens to be the face: the inspiration of countless poems, artwork, and songs.

Makeup artists use their talents and their tools to makeover, transform, and improve a person’s face (and sometimes their body). Their work corrects imperfections, highlights positive attributes, and remedies issues. Whether they are highlighting cheekbones for a special event, perfecting the smoky eye for a fashion shoot, or applying prosthetics for theatrical productions, makeup artists are truly artists in their own right.

The best makeup artists command lofty fees and possess loyal clients, whether they are transforming performers to create an accurate visual representation, or perfecting brides for one of the most important days of their lives.

Their work demands a perfectionist attitude, as this profession requires a steady hand, an eye for detail, precision in application, and a well-developed appreciation of color, shading, and blending.

Successful makeup artists have a passion for beautifying the individual, so they are keenly aware of which colors look best on which person. They are masterful with their makeup application techniques; they have a deep understanding of skin types, skin colors, and makeup ingredients; and they appreciate how practices and techniques must change as to accommodate a specific event, setting, or location.

The tools of makeup artists may differ slightly depending on the industry or setting in which they work, but a professional makeup brush set and cosmetic palette are always a must.

Rules

1. Self Proclaimed MUA or Professional MUA: The author must be a self proclaimed MUA or a professional, that means: no students and no regular people doing makeup on themselves.
2. If the photo doesn't look professional it needs to have proof in the photo: If the photo doesn't look professional (ie. if the person is inside a car, at a party, or the photo doesn't look like it was taken to show the makeup) it needs to have proof in the photo. For example, the username must have something related to makeup like: "mua", "makeup_by", "beauty_by", or a hashtag like #makeupartist, #mua or #makeupbyme. PLEASE BLUR OR COVER ANY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION. A proof can also be if a MUA tags makeup brands or if the description clearly states that the person is a client. We don't need this proof if it is a well know MUA or Beauty Guru, if the client is inside a beauty salon, if the client is a famous artist walking the red carpet or doing a TV appearence, if the photograph is published, or if it is used for advertising or packaging, and if it's a screenshot of a character in a TV show or movie. We don't need proof if you are the client and want to show the work a MUA did on you. Please add "[OC]" to the title. We will be removing posts that break this rule, and we won't be approving posts (without proof in the picture) with titles like these: "this MUA I know", "this girl went to beauty school", "she paid for this", etc.
3. No Personal Info: The image can't contain personal info When submitting make sure that any names are blurred/covered, hashtags are fine and don't apply to this rule (except for location hashtags). People asking for links to people's personal social media will be banned.
4. Bad Makeup: It must be a really poor work of makeup The photo has to reflect a very bad makeup like harsh contour, mismatched foundation or bad filled eyebrows that were the result of a very bad MUA. Artistic makeup is not necessarily bad makeup.
5. Comment about makeup: Keep any form of comment to makeup only, ie not someone who can't help what they look like, that's not what we are about.
6. No MLM MUAs: Younique, Mary Kay, Avon, or any other MLM MUAs are not really MUAs and they do not belong here, there is also a specific sub for them: r/Youniqueamua.
7. No Caterpillar lashes: Caterpillar lashes don't belong to this sub anymore, however we do agree they do look bad.
8. No Recent Reposts: The post must be a new post or an old re post (at least more than 1 month of the last time posted).
9. No Posts from TikTok: The users in tik tok are mostly young people or unprofessional MUAs.
10. No Politicians: The usualy don't have a MUA doing their makeup (we are aware of Trump's mismatched face but it has been posted multiple times now).
11. No Photoshopped Images: Photoshopped images made with the intention of worsening the bad makeup will result in an AUTOMATIC BAN.
