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.

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.

As the competition nears its end, the remaining artists must create a campaign look and pitch that embodies their unique brand as an artist; a shocking elimination shakes the artists.

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.

The artists are challenged to create stunning, one-of-a-kind editorial looks inspired by the American city of their choice; things begin to heat up as they scope out their competition and get to know one another better.
