This is the next season after the success of the 2024 version, with the goal of not only finding talent but also contributing to repositioning the value of the makeup profession in Vietnam. Through a series of professional challenges, the program expects to raise social awareness about the role of makeup artists in creating images and aesthetic trends.
Makeup artist Ho Khanh - frankly acknowledges the current situation of the profession: many people in the profession have not conveyed true values to customers, causing the work to be underestimated. He said that organizing the program is a way to "remind" the core meaning of the profession, and at the same time create an environment to learn from leading experts.
From a professional perspective, expert Ho Thien Tuan shared that the first season had encountered many difficulties, especially financially. However, he hopes that the 2026 season will find new factors with sufficient capacity and bravery to contribute to building the future of Vietnam's make-up industry.
One of the issues of concern is whether the program will use "drama" to attract audiences or not. General director Nguyen Hai Trieu affirmed that the crew does not put much emphasis on sensationalism, but focuses on professional quality and artistic value. According to him, the biggest goal is to create a serious playground where contestants can express their creative personality through each brushstroke, instead of chasing ratings with tricks.
This year's program includes 5 episodes with diverse rounds such as: team building, application techniques, makeup, advertising and cosplay. The Top 9 excellent contestants will enter the final with three major challenges: applied fashion, the five elements theme and the Q&A part. Through this, contestants are not only evaluated for their skills but also for their creative thinking and professional bravery.
Talented Makeup Artist 2026 is expected to enroll from March, with the final night taking place in August with the theme "Universe".
