The six remaining MUAs are set their boldest assignment yet as they are thrown into the glossy world of fashion editorials and booked on a job for UK’s best-selling gay magazine, Attitude. They work for guest judge and leading make-up artist Andrew Gallimore, whose make-up style is renowned for using materials that aren’t strictly cosmetic. Each MUA is assigned a male model and a different fashion trend that their make-up needs to work with, and Attitude magazine’s brief is to deliver big, bold, high-fashion looks. One MUA gets creative and reaches for the ping pong balls, whilst another chooses to be adventurous, creating a look with denim and studs. The stakes are high as only one look is chosen for the editorial’s lead image, and if the make-up isn't good enough, the magazine will not include it.
The next day in Glow Up HQ sees the arrival of a surprise guest judge - RuPaul’s Drag Race's very own Michelle Visage. Known for her no-nonsense judging, Michelle cranks up the pressure as the MUAs are tasked with creating a look inspired by a club culture. The MUAs produce looks that rely on special effects to create a cyber-goth, perfectly placed and blended bald caps, realistic wounds and dripping blood.
Following judging, two MUAs head into the face-off where, against the clock, they are tasked with blending three colours to creates a temple drape. One MUA packs up their kit and leaves the competition. Show less
