Hi everyone, and welcome.
My name is Patty, and we are part of the Makeup team at Cirque du Soleil.
Every day, we push the boundaries of entertainment
in order to amaze millions of spectators around the world.
Over the past 30 years,
the Makeup team has brought to life over 4,000 characters.
But in order to keep our creative minds sharp,
we need to challenge ourselves in order to come up with new ideas.
So today, in one of our studios at the headquarters in Montreal,
we will be having our very first Cirque du Soleil Makeup Showdown.
So the theme for today's challenge
will be to replicate a Cirque du Soleil colourful makeup
in black and white.
You guys will have 60 minutes to complete your challenge.
Now, let me introduce you to my colleagues.
This is Mélissa Tremblay.
She will be replicating a makeup from KURIOS
that has been created by our Makeup Artist Designer, Eleni Uranis.
And this is Isabelle Fink.
She will be replicating a makeup from our show Varekai
that has been designed by Nathalie Gagné.
Ladies, are you ready?
Grab your brushes, and start your makeup.
To use only black and white,
Mélissa and Isabelle will have to rely only on contrast
to replicate the characters’ makeup.
Also, the coloured version of these makeups
usually takes about an hour and a half to do,
so the challenge today isn’t easy for our artists.
Wish them good luck.
Don't forget you can vote for your favourite in the comments down below.
Alright, ladies, you are now halfway through your challenge.
Alright, now, only 15 minutes left.
Five minutes left, ladies, five minutes.
Only one minute to finish your makeup.
Thirty seconds.
Fifteen.
Four, three, two… Time’s up.
Good job.
