What’s your best dancehall punk look?

Ribbiz Ultra Lounge, a popular hotspot for both the young and the young-at-heart, in collaboration with the college marketing agency and lifestyle brand Campus Elite, calls all make-up artists (MUAs) across Jamaica to participate in their first make-up competition in celebration of the first anniversary of Ribbiz Reserve WNZDZ, a highly popular weekly event held at the Ardenne Road location.

This make-up challenge was created to showcase the creativity of make-up artists across Jamaica, and is focusing on the theme ‘Dancehall Cyber Punk’. The artistry should depict the cyber punk theme, showcasing the artists’ interpretation of dancehall in a futuristic setting, utilising edgy and animated designs to bring the looks to life.

The most artistic make-up design that portrays the theme accurately will win the grand prize of $25,000.

Sandre Malcolm, CEO of Campus Elite, expressed his excitement and curiosity to see the creative looks that the participating make-up artists will come up with.

“Jamaicans are very creative, so I know that they will come up with some extraordinary looks, and I can’t wait to see them. We wanted to do something special for our first anniversary, and more so, something that our supporters can benefit from. While the winner will have an additional $25,000 in his/her bank account, he or she will also benefit from a wider clientele and an increase in opportunities. I just know choosing a winner is going to be a difficult task,” Malcolm said.

Participants are required to follow four steps in order to complete their entry in the competition, the first of which is to create a TikTok video doing a make-up design on a face. They will also be required to submit the link to the TikTok video as well as the photo.

Submissions for this challenge opened on May 13 and will close on Friday, June 5. The winner will be announced on Monday, June 10, two days prior to the anniversary celebrations.
