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 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.

Tensions flare as the artists must work together in the season's first team challenge; the artists travel back in time to create gorgeous modern looks inspired by the '70s, '80s and '90s.

The artists must bring their social media savvy as they create a perfect look and corresponding hashtag worthy of being posted on Cosmopolitan magazine's Instagram feed.

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.
