-Welcome to Race 2 Face,
the competition where two makeup artists go head-to-head
in their quest to be crowned the ultimate beauty queen.
Our contestants will face off in a trivia round,
where they’ll test their knowledge on all things makeup.
They’ll move on to one of our Hide-and-Sleek obstacles,
where they will have the chance to search for hidden beauty products.
These products will give our racers an advantage in the final Face-Off Challenge,
where they will have 15 minutes to create a final look that impresses our judges.
Are you ready to face the race?
Here is your host, Ruby Roo.
-Ladies and gentleman welcome to Race 2 Face.
My name is Ruby Roo and I’m here to make all your wildest makeup fantasies come true.
On today’s episode, two contestants compete testing their minds,
their bodies, and their brushes.
Trivia’s up first, so crack the books because, honey,
you do not want to be a Bustle beauty school dropout.
Question one: Which artist and businesswoman of the ‘90s pioneered
sparkly rainbow school supplies that, frankly, you still want today?
*Bell Dings*
Will?
-Lisa Frank.
-Thank is correct! You certainly are a Trapper Keeper.
You have earned one trip to our HIde-and-Sleek challenges.
Let’s see what premium products you can find.
First up is the Foundation Dip.
When the challenge begins you’ll have exactly 15 seconds
to remove as many pods from the pools of foundation as
you can using only your elbows.
And just remember any product that hits the floor is yours to keep for the final Face-Off Challenge.
Ready, set, glow.
Get dirty. That’s one, come on Will you can do this!
There we go, oh my gosh, what a mess.
Time’s up!
Looks like you set up a good base for the final face-off.
Alright next question, in the movie ‘The Wizard of Oz,’
which actor plays Dorothy, who, in a strange twist of fate,
is swept away from her home in Kansas with her dog Toto and ends up in a rainbow world?
*Bell Dings*
Giselle?
-Judy Garland.
-That is the correct answer, Giselle.
Let’s head onto the Hide-and-Sleek Challenge.
Giselle, welcome to the Lipstick Crawl. Girl, it looks like your lipstick has melted.
When the challenge begins, you’ll have exactly 15 seconds
to remove as many product pods as you can using only one hand.
Don’t smudge it up. Ready, set, glow!
Get in there Giselle, that’s one, two!
Oh, what a makeup disaster.
Oh girl, this is gonna be a hot mess!
And time!
You sure do need a rinse off.
With all that product, you’re set for the final face-off.
OK, guys. Next question.
Customers perked up seeing Starbucks’ “Unicorn Frappuccino,”
which is made up of what three colors?
*Bell Dings*
Will?
-Pink, blue, and purple?
-That is correct! Will, you’ll need a boost of energy for this next Hide-and-Sleek Challenge.
Welcome to our Hairbrush Dig.
Will, you’ll have exactly 15 seconds
to remove as many product pods as you can from the hairbrush.
Sounds easy enough, but there’s a catch.
You’ll be blindfolded and shampoo will be raining from the sky.
Prepare yourself. Ready, set, glow!
Careful Will, don’t get that shampoo in your eyes.
Look out!
That’s time, Will!
Congratulations, you sure made it through a hairy situation.
Let’s head on over to the final face-off.
Alright racers, let’s meet our judges.
Kara, tell us about our final challenge.
- Hello makeup artists.
Today you will have 15 minutes to turn your model into the mythical creature of your choice.
You’ve been provided with a basic makeup station and you can use any
of the products that you found during the Hide-and-Sleeks.
Please make our makeup fantasies come true. Good luck!
-Let’s see who has what it takes to be the Race 2 Face champion.
Ready, set, glow!
-They got some really good products in the Hide-and-Sleeks,
so they have a lot to work with today.
-I’m already obsessed with the amount of pink that Will is using.
I love that he is using liquid lipstick to do the eye,
I think that is such a good use of the products that he found.
-OK Giselle, what is your inspiration for the look?
-So actually my inspiration is you.
You’re just so bright and bold and beautiful,
so I definitely want to have her face look like something that you would do!
-Oh, amazing, I cannot wait to see it.
Good luck!
OK Will, so tell me, where are we headed with this look?
-I’m going for a sort of cotton candy, glitter, rainbow sprite!
I didn’t get a lot of eyeshadows or anything so I’m
using a lot of lip products on the eye, and it’s working out beautifully.
-Amazing.
-I’m feeling a little more cotton candy-pink right now than mythical.
So I want to see how he turns this around in the next few minutes.
-I really love where Giselle is going with these eyebrows.
-It’s like a really bold, confident choice to say that the host is your inspiration,
because it could go wrong and things could get, like, really awkward really quickly.
-Who knows? It’s anybody’s game at this point.
-So, Giselle. Tell me, we’re halfway through, how’s it going?
-Oh I’m killing it right now.
- I can definitely see myself wearing those eyebrows. I love it. Keep up the good work.
So Will, we’re a little over halfway through.
How are we feeling right now?
- I’m feeling good.
I’m just trying to make sure I can, like, give every part of the face the attention it needs,
so that I can go back and kind of like, work on details.
-Well, use your time wisely. Good luck!
-I think Giselle seriously needs to pick up the pace.
The eyebrows look amazing but I need to see more in a full-face look
from her and I’m a little concerned she’s going to run out of time before she gets to that look.
- I think that Will needs to find something to tie this entire look together.
There’s a lot of individual elements that I’m really digging,
but I need something that makes it one cohesive face.
-The sticker is not makeup.
And this is a makeup challenge, and for me it’s like,
if you need a sticker to really drive it home… eh.
-Alright racers, there’s one minute left until the competition is over.
Let’s finish up those great looks.
-This is the moment of truth.
There’s just a few seconds left. I’m very stressed.
-10 seconds remain. 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1.
Brushes down!
Alright, it’s time to crown our Race 2 Face champion.
Let’s see what the judges have to say. Ro?
-You guys absolutely nailed this challenge.
Giselle, at first I wasn’t sure about those eyebrows.
I thought you were taking forever on them.
But then you did the glitter lip and you absolutely stole my heart with that.
Will, as soon as you slapped that crystal sticker on her forehead
I started getting Xena Warrior Princess vibes and for that, you get my vote.
-So this challenge has really blown me away.
Will, I was a little bit concerned you were gonna go too far with this look.
But in the end, your model looks like a magical fairy goddess.
Giselle, your look is super wearable.
I absolutely love the eyebrows, I know they took you a really long time.
Right at the end you surprised us with that beautiful lip,
so I’m gonna have to go Giselle.
-Kara, you’re the tie breaker.
- I love that these are two completely different
interpretations of the challenge.
Ultimately yes, Giselle’s look is wearable,
but this challenge was about creating a mythical creature,
and Will, you absolutely did that.
So, Will, you’re our champion.
-Congratulations Will, that means you’re our Race 2 Face champion.
Congratulations!
-Oh, my god. Thank you so much!
But also Giselle I have to say, I did love the Ruby-inspired look.
Come up here, too!
And that’s it for this episode of Race 2 Face.
See you next time!
