CONTEST:

Makeup Wars Season 2 will be held online and is open to any MUA over the age of 18. Entry to the competition is free. There are two divisions, Professional and Amateur, with 12 MUA’s each. You must apply below to be included in the competition. Each division will compete in 1 look.

MUA’s will use a model of their choosing to complete their look in 1 hour. They will video their session and send it to us so we can upload it to YouTube if they are a finalist. MUA’s will also shoot a short 2-3 minute video explaining the technique, products, and inspiration for their look.

Three photos should be submitted of the final look. They should be horizontal for use on Instagram and YouTube. MUA’s can take the photos themselves or enlist the help of a local professional photographer.

Modeling, Photo and Video quality are part of the judging criteria so choose your team wisely!
