“Blush” Recap: Is it a Go or a Bust?

If you can look past some of the Diva-Drama and you love makeup, then Blush will be a show for you. Last night was the premiere of the show and after introducing the contestants, they were thrown into their first “Max Challenge”. After being shown a buffet of food, the contestants were told to use the food as makeup, instead of eating it. Right away I thought they should grab berries, powder, water, sugar, and anything highly pigmented like beets. Some of them fell on their butts as they didn’t quite understand how to transform the food into great color, while others knocked it out of the park.

Maxi, as arrogant and somewhat freakish as he is, did a phenomenal job (minus the flower petal lashes) and actually won immunity because of it. Nolan also did a great job by applying an abstract sort of sun burst on the models face. Todd on the other hand must have lost his mind when he put icing on his model’s eyes and then added curry powder. The curry made her eyes water, which made her makeup run and then the icing heated up on her skin and began to slide south. At the bottom of the barrel was poor Jessica, who seemed like the average sales person that you run into at the mall that knows how to apply regular makeup, but never goes outside that comfort zone.

After Maxi’s win they moved on to the weekly elimination challenge where the contestants had to come up with a unique “Twisted Disco” look for a Dannii Minogue music video. Once again Maxi rocked it by using stencils of all things! I have to say that the idea of art stencils was a brilliant move on his part because his girl looked fabulous. Maxi wasn’t the first pick however, but instead Dannii fell for the vibrant multi-colored look from Todd (who is actually color blind). Some of the women faired well, but in the end Jessica still couldn’t think outside the box and delivered just another pretty makeup look. So everyone else made the cut while poor Jessica has left the house to go back to her two daughters in Dallas, where she can continue to make women look beautiful. So what’s the final consensus on Blush? It intrigued me enough to watch it again next week, but if it ends up being more of the same drama and so-so makeup applications, then this may be Blush’s only season.
