In each episode of this 'Skin Wars' spinoff hosted by RuPaul Charles, three former 'Skin Wars' contestants give six artists from various backgrounds a crash course in body painting before guiding them through the challenges. After eliminations, the final two contestants take part in the final challenge, which requires them to utilize everything they've learned and complete a full-body masterpiece without help from their mentors. At the end of the episode, their works are critiqued by expert judges, who decide which artist walks away with the cash.
