"We are so excited to bring Kim's trend-setting vision of style and beauty to television's newest competition series. The
STAKES couldn't be higher with the chance to work with one of the most successful entrepreneurs and brands on the planet," said Liz Gateley, EVP and head of Lifetime programming.
"Kim Kardashian West is a social-media titan and a fashion icon. I'm thrilled she is on board to executive produce Glam Masters," said Mike Darnell, President of Warner Bros. Unscripted and Alternative Television.
"I'm such a beauty-junkie and am fascinated by how artists are able to transform someone's look with makeup and couldn't be more ecstatic for them to show what they can really do," said executive producer, Kim Kardashian West.
Each episode will feature four beauty bloggers who will go head-to-head to show they have the talent, charisma and vision it takes to be the next big name in the beauty world, all while facing expert judges who will critique every stroke of the contouring brush. The winner each week will qualify to advance to the semi-finals where the best will battle it out for one of three spots in the Tournament of Masters finale. In the end, only one of these beauty-obsessed bloggers will get to claim the title of Glam Master.
