-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.
-Welcome to Race 2 Face.
My name is Ruby Roo and I’m your hostess with the mostess.
On today’s episode, two contestants will battle it out, testing their cunning,
their wit their knowledge, and their brushes to see who can take home the crown.
First up is trivia, and ladies, you don’t want to flunk out of beauty school.
Today we’re going back to the ‘90s to find out which one of you is all that.
Who needs a kit when you can use this popular
‘90s make-up organizer for your lip glosses and nail polish?
*Bell dings*
Kass?
-Caboodle.
-That is correct. Sounds like someone's been studying their glossary.
Now let’s head over the the Hide-and-Sleek challenge.
Welcome to the Lipstick Crawl.
In this challenge, you’ll have exactly 15 seconds
to pull out as many product pods as possible using only one hand.
And don’t forget, as soon as the pods hit the ground,
they’re yours to keep for the final challenge. Ready, set, glow!
Dive in girl. Get messy.
We’ve got one pod so far, time’s almost out! That’s two.
Sleek and you shall find.
Time’s up!
Congratulations Kass, pink is a really good color on you!
Alright guys, next question:
Name the ‘90s cult classic film that features the fashionable Cher Horowitz.
*Bell dings*
Krystal
-‘Clueless.’
-That is correct. You’re really rollin’ with the homies.
Now let’s roll over to the next Hide-and-Sleek challenge.
Welcome to the Hairbrush Dig.
You’ll have 15 seconds to remove as many product pods as possible.
But there’s a catch: You’ll be blindfolded while being doused with shampoo.
Ready, set, glow!
You got it girl!
It’s hairy in there, but find the products.
Time’s up!
Oh, that was a tangle,
but look at all the products you got, girl!
And now, for our final question. Zig-a-zig-ah.
This powerhouse girl group brought flavor to the UK music scene
and became the ultimate ‘90s trend setters.
Can you name all five spices?
*Bell dings*
Krystal?
Scary Spice, Baby Spice, Ginger Spice, Posh Spice, and Sporty Spice!
That is correct.
I’ll tell you what they want, what they really really want…
they want to move on to the next Hide-and-Sleek challenge.
This is the Foundation Dip.
In this challenge you’ll have 15 seconds to dive into the pools of foundation
and remove as many product pods as possible using only your elbows.
And don’t forget, as soon as the pod touches the ground,
that product is yours to keep for the final Face-Off challenge.
15 seconds on the clock. Ready, set, glow!
That’s one, keep going girl.
So close. That foundation’s your skin tone!
Congratulations on getting all five pods.
Thats a great foundation for the final round.
And now it’s time for our final Face-Off challenge.
Let’s meet our judges.
Kara, tell us about the final challenge.
-Hello makeup artists.
Today you will be using the modern products in front of you
including all those bonus products you found during the Hide-and-Sleek
to create ‘90s-inspired makeup looks.
Think Winona Ryder, think Missy Elliot, think Kelly Kapowski.
Whoever you’re inspired by, go crazy. Good luck!
-Racers, are you ready? On your mark, get set, glow!
-I am so excited about this challenge.
Everybody loves the ‘90s.
-The ‘90s were a weird time in beauty.
-They sure were. I definitely am a big fan of the lip looks from the ‘90s.
So that’s what I’m looking for most today.
-Alright Krystal, so tell me about your look.
What’s your inspiration?
-Well, my inspiration is J. Lo, so I’m doing a very flirty, fun look.
-I’m so excited to see the finished product, can’t wait!
-Oh, I love that she’s doing J. Lo
because that still doesn't quite tell me what exactly she’s going to end up with,
because there are so many different J. Lo phases.
-Kass, so tell me —
Where are we going today?
-So, since we’re in the ‘90s theme, I was thinking of a soft grunge look.
-I have never heard anybody use the phrase ‘soft grunge’ before.
I have no idea what that means. But, I have to say I’m very intrigued.
-It’s looking great so far. I can’t wait to see the end.
-Thank you.
-We’re half way through, how’s it going?
-Um, my pencil broke, but I’ll get through this.
- Girl, I believe in you. Good luck!
-Thank you.
-Alright Krystal, how we doing?
-I hope the judges like it.
-I am happy to see lip liner happening on both of these models.
-Guys, I don’t know about this soft grunge thing.
I feel like it could absolutely go in the wrong direction,
but we’ll see what Kass can do with it.
-I think in these final few minutes they just need to make
sure that they’re not straying from their looks.
They both have such different, decidedly ‘90s looks.
I would hate to see any sort of accidental,
late 2000s coming in with all these modern products.
-Oh my god, do you guys see what Krystal is doing to her model?
She’s pulling out her model’s baby hairs. Which is like the most ‘90s look ever.
-Yeah, this is a very smart use of her final seconds.
-This would make me so nervous, being down to the wire like this.
-All right contestants, there’s 10 seconds left.
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. And brushes down.
Alright ladies. Let’s see what the judges have to say.
Kara, you start.
- I love the soft grunge.
I love that this is basically a completely matte look and the browns
are obviously just so so so so ‘90s.
That being said, dark lips were my favorite part of the ‘90s,
and the fact that you pulled out the baby hair at the end.
That was just perfect. That’s what put it over the edge for me.
So Krystal, you get my vote.
-Amanda?
-So Krystal, I love that you gave us J. Lo from the ‘90s
because I was very worried you were going to take it in the
direction of Jenny from the Block.
It was a very stressful moment for me,
but you did perfectly.
But, Kass. I didn’t know what ‘soft grunge’ was.
And now, I want to live in the universe that you’ve created here with this look.
So, I’m gonna have to give it to you.
-Ro, it’s down to you to break the tie.
-First of all I just want to say that both of these ‘90s looks are beautiful.
They’re both stand-alone ‘90s,
but you actually still wear them today.
So Krystal, I love the eyes, I love the deep red lip.
It’s beautiful. Kass, the browns that you’ve used
and that big lip liner along with the brown lip —
my mom always wore brown lip liner and brown lip in the ‘90s, and so for that reason,
I have to say, Kass, you get my vote.
And you are today’s Race 2 Face champion.
-Congratulations, Kass.
But of course, Krystal, we can’t forget about
how great your look was as well.
That’s it for Race 2 Face. Tune in next time!
