Fourteen hair and makeup superstars vie for the title of American Beauty Star; the artists must push their creativity and skills to the limit to impress new host Ashley Graham, mentor Sir John and judges Christie Brinkley, Yu Tsai and Leah Wyar.

The artists are on edge as they are tasked with creating dazzling red-carpet looks with the opportunity of taking home $10,000 worth of jewelry.

The competition reaches its climax as the three finalists travel to New York City to show off their final looks in front of a live audience; the artists have one last shot to prove they are worthy of the title as America votes to decide who will win.

Emotions and nerves run high as the remaining artists must prove that beauty is ageless when they get a special surprise: the chance to give the important women in their lives the stunning makeover they deserve.

The artists work in pairs to create "hero" and "villain" looks that are both magnificent and cohesive; the judges' intense scrutiny and attention to detail has the artists on edge during a fiery elimination.

Drawing inspiration from the hit Broadway musical "Waitress," the nine remaining artists are each paired with a deserving waitress to give them a gorgeous makeover and jaw-dropping new look.
