BBC Three - Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star, Series 5, Episode 4

The MUAs must hold their nerve as they broadcast to millions on P.Louise’s TikTok live.

The MUAs broadcast to millions on P.Louise’s TikTok live. At Glow Up Studios, they are out to impress with a look based on their #core.

It’s a Glow Up first this week as our MUAs go live on TikTok. Judged by social sensation and beauty CEO P.Louise, the MUAs have the daunting task of jumping onto her platform for 15 minutes each. They must showcase as many make-up tips and tricks as they can with just one product. The judges are joined by singer and songwriter Cat Burns, who credits TikTok as part of her rise to fame, after she dropped her number two single, Go, on the platform. 

The MUAs are competing not only for the chance to go live with P.Louise in the future, but to assist Cat Burns's MUA on tour when she supports Sam Smith at the O2 Arena.  

Armed with a neon blue fluid liner, one MUA showcases a number of ways to utilise the product, including a flash of blue through the hair, whereas the MUA with the yellow eyeliner doesn’t boldly go past the eyes. It’s a shaky week for the MUA who usually comes out on top, as their main advice of ‘don’t wear this look outside’ backfires and is immediately frowned upon by the judges. 

After the two-hour live, P.Louise joins Val, Dominic and Cat to debrief and deliver their judgements, and the MUA who started their live by ignoring their viewers is up for discussion! 

The next day at Glow Up studios, the judges want to see looks inspired by the MUAs' tribes, lifestyles, and cultures, aka their #core. From #dollcore to #scenecore to a #hollywoodglamcore, the MUAs are pulling out all the stops to impress. 

Two ding dongs are dished out, one for the simplicity of using just two colours and delivering a beautiful look, and the other for a look which found the beauty in ugliness and blew the judges away with originality.

Following judging, two MUAs head into the Face-Off elimination, where, against the clock, they are tasked to produce a black outlined glossy lip before one MUA has to pack up their kit and leave the competition.

Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star: Series 5

A multi-platform service for 16-34s, featuring comedy, entertainment and factual content.

The BBC’s multi-platform service for 16 to 34s, innovating with breakthrough comedy, stand-out entertainment, brave documentary and intellectual factual content.

Supermodel Leomie Anderson steps in to host series five. Each week, aspiring make-up artists compete for a weekly prize and try to escape elimination. The last one standing will win a dream contract.

Each week, ten of the most talented aspiring make-up artists will be judged on their creative skills and ability to perform under pressure in incredible Professional Assignments, from TV special FX to digital fashion week, global beauty campaigns to social media lives, as well as creating drag looks and working on celebrities for a huge red carpet event. 

At the Glow Up Studios, these skilled artists will push their creativity and technical abilities to the limit as they strive to impress the judges, the legendary Val Garland and Dominic Skinner. The two who fail to impress, go head-to-head in a Face Off, where they fight to escape elimination. After eight weeks, the last make-up artist (MUA) standing wins a contract assisting some of the world’s top make-up artists and is crowned Britain’s Next Make-Up Star.
