A female celebrity guest, or "princess", will talk about what makeup look she'd like to try. The cast members will then learn the makeup style from a professional makeup artist and practice their new skills on mannequins. Thereafter, the idols will apply the makeup to the guest in a tag-team style. The guest will not be able to see what makeup look they have done for her until the end.
