Get Your Face On with Napoleon Perdis: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

In Get Your Face On with Napoleon Perdis, we see 12 aspiring makeup artists vying for the opportunity of a lifetime - to be Napoleon's protégé. Artists from several different makeup backgrounds will attend Napoleon's Master Class as he attempts to uncover the diamond in the rough. Each class focuses on a particular technique or style, such as retail, bridal, drag, runway, music video, and restorative makeup (for cancer survivors). The students must compete in a pop quiz as well as a test which often takes them into real life situations such as a wedding and a fashion photo shoot. And to make it in this ever-competitive arena, the contestants must not only learn about fashion, retail, and media, but also show discipline, passion, and of course talent.

Just like good makeup, the challenge for the artists is staying power. Each week, someone will be dismissed. There will be tension, tantrums, tears (and soiled mascara) - and the wrath of Napoleon himself - but for one, it will all be worth it. Who will outlast the competition and make it to the end?
