1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,040
The search for Britain's
next make-up star is back.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,560
From thousands of aspiring
make-up artists across the UK,

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,360
ten of the best MUAs
have been chosen.

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,600
Strap yourselves in.

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:13,840
Ooh, OK.

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,680
You're like my first ever... Oh.
..model.

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,200
And over the next eight weeks,

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,040
they'll be judged
by industry experts...

9
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,600
It's too much!

10
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:23,680
Yeah, that's great.

11
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:24,720
I'm scared.

12
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,880
This looks amazing.
I think it's really cool.

13
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,720
..working on professional
assignments...

14
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,160
The shape is still not there.
She's not getting it.

15
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,080
We need to get a move on,
move on, move on.

16
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,040
It is fierce.

17
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,040
..and showcasing their talents
in the creative briefs.

18
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,800
Sometimes you have to shout.

19
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:41,920
Ooh!

20
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,840
Pow! My mind's just blown.

21
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,160
I look a bit like Piglet, innit?

22
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:48,320
You have definitely dinged my dong.

23
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,800
Nearly wet myself.

24
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,280
Please don't.

25
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,120
This is the power of make-up
to tell a story.

26
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,560
Each week, the two
who fail to deliver...

27
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,239
If you're not careful, you're going
to fade into the background.

28
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:06,520
..will go head to head
in a face-off.

29
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,680
The loser goes home...

30
00:01:09,039 --> 00:01:11,080
..until one remains
to win a contract,

31
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,039
assisting some of the biggest
make-up artists in the world.

32
00:01:14,039 --> 00:01:16,240
So, are you ready? Yes!

33
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,320
It's going to be a very
big statement.

34
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:22,360
It's time to glow up.

35
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,920
For their first-ever
professional assignment,

36
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,160
our ten shiny new MUAs
are in Birmingham...

37
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,280
It's crazy.

38
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,320
..home to one of the world's
fastest-growing fitness brands.

39
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:42,960
Hi. Hi. Oh, my gosh.

40
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:44,320
Welcome MUAs!

41
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:47,800
It is so lovely to see
all of your faces.

42
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:47,800
Who's excited?

43
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,400
Yeah. I could hear the "yass"
from down the corridor.

44
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,479
That was me. That was you?

45
00:01:55,479 --> 00:01:57,920
Well, first off, congratulations.

46
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,800
You are all this year's chosen ones.

47
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,280
As you know, there is no Glow Up
without the two legends

48
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,520
Val Garland and Dominic Skinner.

49
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,920
L'Oreal Paris Global Make-up
Director Val Garland

50
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:15,640
has been creating iconic looks
for industry heavyweights

51
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:20,160
in music, design and fashion
for over 25 years.

52
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,640
Average work simply won't
cut it for me.

53
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:26,240
I want to be wowed.
I want to be bowled over.

54
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,640
I want to see something
that I've never seen before.

55
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:34,160
Dominic Skinner has spearheaded
global campaigns for MAC Cosmetics

56
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,960
and created show-stopping looks
at fashion weeks across the world.

57
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,920
I'm the prince of precision
and a stickler for symmetry.

58
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:43,040
This is series four.

59
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,200
We've had thousands
of artists apply.

60
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,880
The bar is high,
but so are my expectations.

61
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:56,880
To be a successful make-up artist
takes determination and hard graft.

62
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,240
We want to be blown away
by your creativity

63
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,160
because only one of you
can be crowned

64
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,880
Britain's Next Make-Up Star.

65
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,720
Today, you have been booked
to do the make-up

66
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,800
on a social media campaign
for a global fitness brand.

67
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,240
Gymshark.

68
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,280
Since it launched in 2012,
Gymshark has become one of the most

69
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,680
influential fitness and apparel
brands of the 21st century.

70
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,720
Having built their company
entirely online,

71
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,160
the power of social media
has been key to their success.

72
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,600
We really want to engage
our followers.

73
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,280
We want to harness new audiences,

74
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,560
but also we really want
to inspire them.

75
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,680
This week's guest judge
is Ivy Weir-Ikpeme,

76
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,160
who is the styling manager
for the campaign.

77
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,440
We carried out an online poll
to our 17 million followers,

78
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,079
and a quarter of those
that responded said

79
00:03:56,079 --> 00:03:57,960
that they wear make-up to the gym.

80
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,720
So, for our latest campaign,

81
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,160
we want you to create
a natural make-up look

82
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,200
that is durable for a workout,

83
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,280
that keeps health at its core,

84
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,320
and ultimately keeps our followers
from scrolling by

85
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,440
and get them looking
at our campaign.

86
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:21,000
To achieve this, I want you
to include one fitspiration feature

87
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,520
that puts your stamp on the look,

88
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,920
whether that be accentuating
the brow, having a bold eye

89
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,800
or a fierce lip.

90
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,520
The winning MUA's look will go live
across the brand's

91
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,520
social media channels.

92
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,680
This is huge, right?

93
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,800
Just 17 million.

94
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,040
I will need the models to be ready
to be photographed in two hours.

95
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,520
So, go and get your kits,

96
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,000
and I don't mean your gym kit.

97
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,720
So off we go.

98
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,440
I'm not a big, like,
weight-lifting person.

99
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,560
I'm more just like a
frolic-in-the-forest kind of person.

100
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,000
Wow. This is like Christmas.
I love it.

101
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,880
This will be completely
out of my comfort zone.

102
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,520
I've just done beauty campaigns.

103
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,880
This is, like, fitness,
so it's a whole different vibe

104
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,480
that they're looking for.

105
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,000
OK.

106
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,800
This is so exciting.
Love a fresh palette.

107
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:16,920
Ooh.

108
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,000
I'm someone that really enjoys
getting skin really nice and clean.

109
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,440
I'm also a gym-goer, so this feels
like it could be up my street.

110
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,960
Ooh! These are lit.
Look at the colours.

111
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,680
I'm just so excited.
It's like a kid in the candy store.

112
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,680
The MUAs have each
been assigned a model...

113
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,240
Do you want to have a seat?

114
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,280
Oh, you're mine! Oh, my God.

115
00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:39,480
..and given a mood board
to help inspire their natural look

116
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,240
with a standout feature.

117
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,200
What are your pronouns, by the way?
Just so... She, her. She, her - fab.

118
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,800
Over the past couple of years,
the whole world has gone online,

119
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,960
which suited make-up artists
perfectly.

120
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,720
In their bedrooms,
all over the world,

121
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,760
people have been playing
with make-up.

122
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,200
Do you have any allergies
or any sensitive skin or anything?

123
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,640
No, not that I know of.

124
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,760
But we have young artists
joining the industry

125
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,480
who've only ever done
make-up on themselves.

126
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,680
This is really exciting. You're,
like, my first-ever model. Oh.

127
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,480
That's why we have
the professional assignments.

128
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,760
I feel like a little chef
in this kitchen.

129
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,520
Only thing is, I'm in the gym.

130
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,920
It's a brand-new situation.

131
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,400
It will test whether
they've got what it takes.

132
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,560
Hiya, Ryan. Hiya, Maya.
You all right?

133
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,000
I'm good. How are you?
Belting. I'm excited!

134
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,880
Is this something
you're used to doing? Yeah.

135
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,320
But, in general, like,
I do avant-garde looks, though.

136
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,600
Yeah, it's a bit different.

137
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,800
I mean, gym make-up,
sporty kind of vibes. Yeah.

138
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,280
But you like the more
fabulous stuff. Yeah, definitely.

139
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:36,120
So, I definitely have
to tone this down

140
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,640
a little bit more than usual.

141
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,159
I come from Bolton,
which is a very small town,

142
00:06:41,159 --> 00:06:42,760
very laddy, very rugby.

143
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,720
You don't really be creative
and do make make-up.

144
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,840
But in 2017, I went into a bit
of a downward spiral.

145
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:52,920
It was just a very horrible,
dark time...

146
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,880
..and make-up really
brought me out of that.

147
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,520
It helped me kind of
discover who I am, as well.

148
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,320
That was the time I kind of
refined those skills,

149
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,720
and I became the artist I am today.

150
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,640
I'm just literally getting
the skin perfect.

151
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,280
Your skin is so nice that you don't
even need a lot of stuff

152
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,400
going on on your face.

153
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,000
The style of make-up
I'm looking for today

154
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,080
is healthy, dewy skin.

155
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,400
What I don't want to see
is really heavy foundation.

156
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,880
You're going to the gym to work out.

157
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,240
Yes, you want to look amazing,
but your skin should be able

158
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,000
to breathe at the same time.

159
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,600
To create a look that's healthy
on the skin,

160
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,000
the MUAs should keep the base light.

161
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,960
Make-up can do wonders

162
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,360
until it sweats off.

163
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,480
Laying it on too thick
can mean extra sweat

164
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,080
and lead to breakouts.

165
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,480
Can you just look up?

166
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,120
But for primary school teacher
and self-taught MUA Lisa,

167
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,000
the natural look is anything
but child's play.

168
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,960
I'm worried about sort of
getting the skin right, mostly,

169
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,800
because, obviously, only having ever
done skin on myself,

170
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,960
I want to get it looking really
nice and dewy,

171
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,160
without looking, like, oily
or sweaty.

172
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,120
When I was talking to the kids
in my class, and telling them

173
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,240
that they could
be whoever they wanted

174
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,760
and achieve whatever they wanted,

175
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,560
I realised that I hadn't really
listened to my own advice,

176
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,000
and it made me think I need
to actually, like, try

177
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,160
and follow my true passion
and get into make-up as a career.

178
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,440
I've always suffered with anxiety
and low confidence,

179
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,080
and I think that is partly why

180
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,280
I didn't go into make-up
straight away.

181
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,840
The thing that I most hope
that I get through Glow Up

182
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,200
is to show myself
that even though I have those doubts

183
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,240
that, actually, I can do this.

184
00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:44,560
I think I'm going to keep it
quite natural, and I want to try

185
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:46,680
and keep her freckles,

186
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:49,720
so that we have that extra feature
that's really her.

187
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,240
With the "less is more",

188
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,360
what you'll find is, it's actually
a lot harder

189
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,040
because you're adding product,
but it's meant to look

190
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,120
like they're not wearing
any product.

191
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,720
This is my first experience

192
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,120
with a brief like the one
that we've got today.

193
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,400
You hair's so soft.

194
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,920
Also stepping out
of their comfort zone

195
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,840
is 22-year-old self-taught MUA
Charlie.

196
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,680
Hi. Hi, angel.

197
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:13,800
How are you doing? How are you?
I'm...I'm gorgeous.

198
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,040
I'm OK. Looking stunning.
Oh, thank you.

199
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,920
I'm not going to lie,
I've been watching you

200
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,080
in those heels
and not one triple slip. Almost.

201
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,640
Really? Yes.
You're carrying it off perfectly.

202
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,760
I do suffer from gender dysphoria,

203
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,160
a condition where your own biology
makes you uncomfortable.

204
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,800
Make-up has been a huge step

205
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,800
in being somewhat at peace
with myself.

206
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,640
The ability to alter my presentation
and present as femme is amazing.

207
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,480
I'd like to raise
my beautiful daughter

208
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,080
to not even think
about gender presentation

209
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,160
as such a strict thing.

210
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,800
I just hope
that she's a well-rounded,

211
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,520
progressive human being.

212
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,640
I'm just focusing on skin
at the moment. Mm-hm.

213
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,240
I'm trying not
to get too carried away.

214
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,200
I keep saying, "Oh, do you think
it's too heavy?"

215
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,960
It's kind of hard with the brief,
isn't it?

216
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,200
Cos you want to stand out,

217
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,800
but then it's stripped-back make-up
at the same time. Yeah.

218
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,560
I want it real.

219
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:12,120
I'm really happy with it.

220
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,960
I'm just going to get it
all over, though.

221
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,560
I'm not having Val and Dom going,

222
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:18,720
"Your neck's a completely
different colour to the face."

223
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,160
Let's talk about Ryan.

224
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,880
How is he getting on?

225
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,240
The base that he's using
is a bit too heavy

226
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,000
for the model's skin.

227
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,760
It's interesting, cos he's started
to work on the neck. Yeah.

228
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,440
So, clearly, his colour correction
wasn't good from the get-go,

229
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,320
because if he'd got it correct,

230
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,520
he wouldn't have to start blending
the whole neck.

231
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,120
So sorry, just going to pick
this little bit of hair off.

232
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,840
How do you think Lisa is getting on?

233
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,760
So, I really love how her skin
is looking at the moment.

234
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,360
She's got these lovely freckles.
Didn't try and hide them.

235
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,960
I love that natural, healthy,
glowy-looking skin.

236
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:48,960
I think it's working.

237
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,840
I'm pretty happy with it so far.

238
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,200
I think it looks pretty natural,

239
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,520
but it still looks, like, nice
and glowy and even.

240
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,320
So, yeah.

241
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,600
MUAs, you've had one hour.

242
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,240
You've got one hour to go.

243
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,480
That was fast.

244
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,760
That was way quicker than I thought.

245
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,520
Once the MUAs have completed
their stripped-back base,

246
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,120
they can move on
to the second part of the brief -

247
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,960
creating a fierce fitspiration
design that accentuates

248
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,560
one of the model's features.

249
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,200
For my fierce element,
I wanted to do something

250
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,520
a little bit graphic,
so a bit of graphic liner,

251
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,000
but sensibly placed cos, obviously,
when you're sweating,

252
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,800
you're working out, you don't
want it to crease and print.

253
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,680
We want a look that has a bit
of a pop of something

254
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:35,840
just a bit more.

255
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,040
I feel like this line
is quite sporty.

256
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,160
It just gives it
that extra dimension.

257
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,720
We want our followers
to look at it and think,

258
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,920
"That's amazing. I can rock that."

259
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,640
I'm doing, like, a really thin
graphic eye-liner

260
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,240
in this shape of, like, a heartbeat.

261
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,000
I'm just adding a subtle contour
in the eye

262
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,560
and being quite minimal with it,
trying to strip back.

263
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:59,200
While some of the MUAs
keep things subtle,

264
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,160
Nance's taking a totally
different approach.

265
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,840
Oh, we're going bold. Might as well.

266
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,760
Go hard or go home.

267
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:06,760
Literally.

268
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:14,520
Right now, I'm just changing
the brow colour to something bold.

269
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,360
I've gone for, like, lilac-y, purply
kind of colour.

270
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,920
I'm trusting my gut.

271
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,840
I've been a freelance make-up
artist for almost ten years.

272
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,240
I was born in Congo,
and I moved to the UK

273
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,640
when I was nine years old.

274
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,880
I did not know a word of English.

275
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,920
I've definitely had my struggles.

276
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,280
I don't think there's enough
representation for people of colour

277
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,840
in the make-up industry.

278
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,640
There are so many girls like me
who want to do make-up,

279
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:47,000
but it's scary not seeing people
who look like you doing the things

280
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,400
that you want to do.

281
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,640
So, I definitely want
to be a face for that.

282
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:55,840
Purple bleeds easily.

283
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,600
I would hate for the purple
to bleed into the skin.

284
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:01,040
Nance, over there,

285
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,280
she's doing some stuff
with the brows at the moment.

286
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,040
Yeah. I'm not entirely sure
if the look that she's going for

287
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,840
is kind of in keeping
to the fitspiration

288
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,560
that we would like
the MUAs to create.

289
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:13,920
You're going to see purple brows,
and you're going to stop

290
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,720
and you're going to want to stay
on the page.

291
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,160
For social media, it's good.

292
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,440
We want them to engage,
but also sort of feel

293
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,680
like this is inspirational
and it's achievable.

294
00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:25,560
And I'm not sure that that look
is going that way

295
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:26,840
at this present moment.

296
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,720
What would you do
if you were in her position?

297
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,800
I would start again.
Start the whole thing? Yeah.

298
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,600
Those purple brows - it's too much.

299
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,200
I think what some of our MUAs
need to remember

300
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,960
is that this is a brief
about the brand.

301
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,880
Some of them, they're kind of doing
their own personal take.

302
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,400
It concerns me a little bit,

303
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,360
but I know we've still
got a bit of time left,

304
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,800
so let's just see how it pans out.

305
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,080
He got really nice eyebrows,

306
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,240
so I asked him, like,
what are his favourite colours.

307
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,640
And, yeah, we came up with red
and turquoise, so, yeah.

308
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,720
I've just been working with a pink
and orange lip combination.

309
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,080
I just want to clean it up,

310
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,040
just because it's run over
a little bit on this side.

311
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,280
Right, let's have a little gander.

312
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,000
Yep. I'm happy with the lip.

313
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,280
MUAs, tick-tock.

314
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,720
You have ten minutes to go.

315
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,000
Seriously?

316
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,920
I love doing liners,
but liner terrifies me is all,

317
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,480
and it's like...I'm, like,
holding my breath the entire time.

318
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,920
I want to make sure
that it's symmetrical on both sides,

319
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,000
and, like, you know,
one's not looking at her brow,

320
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,880
the other one's looking
at her cheekbone.

321
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,200
I'm happy with the skin.

322
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,640
And I'm happy with the brows.

323
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,200
I'm ready to wow.

324
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,480
Judges, OK.

325
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,520
I'm hot with them walking around.

326
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,680
She smells good, doesn't she?

327
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:16,840
Yes.

328
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,720
MUAs, one minute to go.

329
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,400
Make it work.

330
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,040
Super happy with it.

331
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,040
Brushes down. Stop it, Ryan.
Touching it too much.

332
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,520
Noice!

333
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,280
Glowing, natural, hydrated.

334
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,080
Time's up, everyone.

335
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,880
I need your models photographed.

336
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,680
I enjoyed it way more
than I thought,

337
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,520
considering I don't really like gyms
and sports and stuff.

338
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,840
It was really fun, just doing
the natural, glowy skin.

339
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,480
It's so delicious.

340
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,520
I think I dried up my skin too much.

341
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,200
I'm so scared now.

342
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,400
I feel nervous after that.

343
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,360
I just...I just don't know
what to think.

344
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,800
I want to hear the feedback now.

345
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,200
I think other people
had a calmer approach to it,

346
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,120
and I didn't.

347
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,480
So, that's the risk.

348
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,040
While the MUAs wait next door,

349
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,440
their looks will now
be photographed,

350
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,560
and a winner will be chosen
for the global campaign.

351
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,160
All right, well done, everybody.

352
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,000
You've completed
your first assignment.

353
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,440
How are we feeling?

354
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:28,440
Ecstatic, buzzing.

355
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,440
17 million followers -
like, they threw us

356
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,720
straight into the deep end.

357
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,480
So, this is Rachel's model.

358
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,640
It looks a tad too glamorous
for what we wanted from the brief.

359
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,880
It doesn't have
this essence of healthy.

360
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,240
Joining the judges to check
that the looks are skin friendly

361
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,360
is the campaign's dermatologist,
Dr Anjali Mahto.

362
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,200
It all feels and looks
a bit heavy on the skin, you know?

363
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,280
I wouldn't want somebody wearing
quite this much make-up

364
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,920
if they're about to do a workout.

365
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,760
It's glamorous make-up.

366
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,079
It's not right for the gym.

367
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:09,960
Here we have Ryan's model.

368
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,839
Do you feel happy
with how you did today?

369
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:14,160
I am, but you never know
because Val and Dom could be like,

370
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,720
"What is that?"

371
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,720
My biggest concern is, actually,
if you're going to the gym

372
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,880
and you have this much base on you,

373
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,319
you are likely to end up with spots.

374
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:26,319
He's just missed the mark
completely.

375
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:28,240
So, this is Charlie.

376
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,840
I was out of my comfort zone.

377
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,000
I just hope that they enjoyed
what I created, I guess.

378
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,320
I think this has all the elements
of an amazing beauty campaign shot.

379
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,600
But we're looking for a shot
that, when you're scrolling through

380
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,880
on social media,
that you're like, "Oh, my God."

381
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,080
We did ask for something that would
just make the audience stop. Yeah.

382
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,880
And that's what's missing.

383
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,520
So, this is Nance's model.

384
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,360
It's just not keeping to the brand.

385
00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:59,840
It's engaging the customer
in the completely wrong way.

386
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,760
He looks like he's bleaching
his eyebrows.

387
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,800
All I see is foundation.

388
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,920
There's too much make-up.

389
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,560
This is Sophie's model.

390
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,200
Maybe I went a bit overboard.

391
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,840
I don't know. You never know.

392
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,720
It could have been just the orange.
It could have been just the blue.

393
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,320
It could have been
just the highlight.

394
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,280
By putting everything into the mix,
it ends up becoming too much,

395
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,000
so you can't really taste anything.
Yeah.

396
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,720
Here we have Adam's model.

397
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,040
It's, like, such a beautiful,
beautiful shot.

398
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,880
But we wanted something
that would engage

399
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,800
on our social media channels.

400
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,520
Great skin, great brows,
great lashes.

401
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,560
I am so bored.

402
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,400
We need something to make
this an exciting campaign.

403
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,080
This is Chris's model.

404
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,640
I think the dynamic nature
of the eyeline just doesn't fit

405
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,800
with the model.

406
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,160
Mikael's model.

407
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,760
I just don't understand
what the lines are meant to be.

408
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,400
I think it would have looked
far better if it was just the red.

409
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,080
This is Lisa's model.

410
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,040
I love that we get to see
our model's freckles.

411
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,880
The skin looks healthy.

412
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,960
There's that rosy glow,
like she's just had a workout.

413
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,400
If I had to have one negative,

414
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,960
I don't think the eyebrows
are executed as well

415
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,640
as they could be.

416
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,160
So, this is Yong-Chin's model.

417
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,880
It's really, really beautiful.

418
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,240
I really feel that fulfils
what I was looking for.

419
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,240
I like the heartbeat.

420
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,160
I just think
it's in the wrong place.

421
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,840
Overall, I think we've got some
really strong images today,

422
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,400
but I definitely think
there's one that I would want

423
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,160
for our social media campaign.

424
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,440
Hello, judges. Hi.

425
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,200
Hello. Hello.

426
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,120
Well, congratulations, everyone,

427
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:55,160
for completing your first
assignment.

428
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,920
The brand asked
for a natural make-up look

429
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,840
with a fitspiration feature.

430
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,320
Some of you fulfilled that brief.

431
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,560
However, others didn't.

432
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,960
And your looks, the make-up just
looked too heavy on camera.

433
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:22,720
The MUA who's going to be shooting
our global campaign is...

434
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,440
..Lisa.

435
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,040
Congratulations. Well done.
Oh, my God!

436
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,080
So, Lisa,
no time like the present.

437
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,960
We're going to go off on set now
and shoot the campaign.

438
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:40,960
Oh, my God. Congratulations!

439
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,280
That is crazy!

440
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,040
Well done. Well done. Well done!
Thank you.

441
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,280
You happy? Yeah, I'm happy.

442
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,680
I'm literally can't believe it.

443
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,920
I mean, you know, it's the first
model I've worked on.

444
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:01,640
I've never done anything
like a campaign.

445
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:02,720
This is huge.

446
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,880
It's good on the big screen.
It's absolutely crazy.

447
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,040
The detail. Yeah. And I love
her freckles coming through.

448
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,160
I'm looking forward
to telling my mum.

449
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,920
She's just, like,
my biggest fan ever,

450
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,080
and she's...she's definitely
going to cry.

451
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,960
Good to meet you.

452
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:22,640
Before the day is done,

453
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,720
the judges must decide which two
MUAs least impressed today

454
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,320
and will start the creative brief
tomorrow in the red face-off chairs.

455
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,520
Let's start with Nancy.

456
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,560
The eyebrows were just
too much for me.

457
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,520
We just could not possibly
put this image out.

458
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,760
I always have to add my little
signature to something.

459
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,560
Otherwise it's not me.

460
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,720
I have to.

461
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,840
Ryan.

462
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,280
I wouldn't want somebody wearing
quite this much base

463
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,000
if they're about to do a workout.

464
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,320
Too much make-up.

465
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,920
Big fingers-crossed,
because I literally could not

466
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,040
be bothered being
in them red chairs.

467
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,920
Rachel.

468
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,480
This, to me, is blind panic.

469
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,440
Rachel just threw everything at it,
hoping it was going to stick,

470
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,880
and it does not.

471
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,800
The blusher may have been a bit
too much, but I think

472
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,080
it really tied in with the lip.

473
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,200
I just hope it didn't tip it over
from being a natural glam

474
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,280
into a full face beat.

475
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,760
I think we know who's going to start
in the red chairs tomorrow.

476
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,800
The next morning at Glow Up Studios,

477
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,320
it's crunch time.

478
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,560
If an MUA's name
is on a red chair,

479
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,760
they're heading for the face-off
at the end of the day.

480
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,200
Oh, no, not this.

481
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,040
Urgh!

482
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,640
It's OK.

483
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,880
We'll just be all zen and cute.

484
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,400
There's only one way
to beat the seat.

485
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,920
Wow the judges
in the creative brief

486
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,320
and prove they deserve their place
in the competition.

487
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,840
Ryan, Nance, you are the first MUAs
in the face-off chairs,

488
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,800
which means you'll have a 15-minute
time penalty at the start

489
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,800
of today's creative brief.

490
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,480
Nance, you took a risk
with the eyebrows,

491
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,280
but we felt that your look
just didn't engage with our audience

492
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,640
in the way we would have liked.
OK.

493
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,520
And, Ryan, if you put that amount
of product on your skin

494
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,040
whilst you're going to the gym,
it could actually damage your skin.

495
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,720
And that's a complete no-no for us.

496
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:41,600
Today, we want you to create a look
that tells us your hidden strength.

497
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,720
You'll be doing make-up
on yourselves,

498
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,840
and we want you to produce a bold,
dramatic make-up look.

499
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,360
Push your creativity to the limits
and showcase your talents.

500
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:57,600
So, Ryan, Nance, I'll let you know
when you guys can start.

501
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,240
The rest of you will have
two-and-a-half hours.

502
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,440
Your time starts now.

503
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,920
Let's go.

504
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,240
The MUAs have been allowed
to prepare for today's brief,

505
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,960
and Glow Up studios is stocked
with any products they may need.

506
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,960
Have you seen a primer?

507
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:22,280
The creative brief tests
our MUAs' imagination.

508
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,640
It shows us how expansive
is your mind.

509
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,440
Are you an original?

510
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,200
I want to be blown away.

511
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,880
I'm really happy
I'm in a blue chair.

512
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,640
I really thought I overdid it.

513
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,920
I'm just happy I have all the time
I need to create this look.

514
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,400
Sophie is planning to impress
the judges with an alien warrior

515
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,280
and their secret weapon.

516
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,640
I'm quite a sickly person,
so my hidden strength

517
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,480
is based on stem cells
that are really important

518
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,680
to help build our tissues again
and fight infection.

519
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,040
I'm sticking down my eyebrows

520
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,720
because aliens don't really
have eyebrows.

521
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,880
I'm feeling a little bit nervous,

522
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,880
but I'm definitely going to try
and go all out.

523
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:09,280
Adam's drawing inspiration
from a matter close to his heart.

524
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,560
My hidden strength is taken
from the bravery of a lion.

525
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,840
Shortly after my father passed away,
I had to really become strong,

526
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,800
look after the family,

527
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,120
just like a lion would.

528
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,760
I don't have much experience
in doing my own make-up,

529
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,800
so let's just see how this goes.

530
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,280
Nance, all right, my love? Hello.

531
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,200
We're here now.
I just have to make it work.

532
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,760
Talk me through your look.

533
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,760
So, my hidden strength
is resilience and persistence.

534
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,320
So, this situation right now
fits really well. Yeah. Yeah.

535
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,400
What kind of techniques
are you going to be using?

536
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,840
So, bald cap... Oh, wow.
Bald cap on the hair, though?

537
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,880
Yeah, but I'm taking
a different approach.

538
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,720
This represents my hair.

539
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,520
I'm poking a hole in the bald cap.

540
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,440
My hair is going to come out of it,
and then...yeah. Good thinking.

541
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,560
Yeah. Cos I'm like, "That's a lot
of hair to fit

542
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,920
"under that cap, honey."
Yeah, it is. It is. OK, good.

543
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,280
Yeah. 15 minutes less time.

544
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,760
You could still blow it
out of the park. Exactly. Yeah.

545
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,280
If Nancy or Ryan can dazzle
the judges with their designs

546
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,840
and beat the seat...

547
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,600
Can do this. You can do this.
You can do this.

548
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,680
..then another MUA will
take their place

549
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,440
in the face-off elimination.

550
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,600
So, everyone's out to impress.

551
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,000
So I'm just using a latex
to create this, like, crater

552
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,200
in the centre of my face.

553
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,640
So, you can, like, soak cotton wool
in the latex

554
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,320
and then they become this, like,
malleable substance,

555
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,360
create, like, a 3D element.

556
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:36,760
Fashion graduate Yong-Chin
is hoping her special effects

557
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,360
and dramatic use of colour
will be enough to wow the judges.

558
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:42,280
My hidden strength is my focus.

559
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,560
I'm always trying
to pull new ideas together.

560
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,440
This look shows them, like,
manifesting as this,

561
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,560
like, atomic explosion,

562
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,360
like, on my face.

563
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:54,480
Yong-Chin isn't the only MUA

564
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,600
experimenting with prosthetics.

565
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,480
Kris. Hey, gorgeous.

566
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,040
We've got cotton ears.
Yeah, we've got... What is this?

567
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,080
That's cotton wool.

568
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,840
It's just to kind of flatten out
the ears.

569
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,480
It feels quite nice, though,
doesn't it? Feel very cushioned.

570
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,560
Do you mind if I stroke your head
like that? Sure.

571
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,120
A little stroke. A little pat.

572
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:11,440
Tell me what you're doing.

573
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,040
So, my hidden strength,
I'm basing it

574
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,760
around my ability to transform.
Mm-hm.

575
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,800
My look is inspired by a chameleon.
OK.

576
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,320
So, I've got my little friend here,

577
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,800
going on my face. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

578
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,120
This was done last night,
so it's pre-made prosthetic.

579
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:27,120
I was up till 4am
getting it finished.

580
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:28,840
The graveyard shift. Yeah.

581
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,560
It's going to go...splat.
Right on the face.

582
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,160
That is incredible, though.

583
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,280
I'm going ambitious, so I just
wanted to make sure

584
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,720
that I had everything.
Can't wait to see that on your face.

585
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,640
Thank you, hon. I'll see you
later. All right. Good luck, honey.

586
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,680
Oh, my goodness. No.

587
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,840
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

588
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,160
Mikael hasn't even started.

589
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,800
I'm just sweating.
It's very hot in here.

590
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,040
Time is of the essence.

591
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,160
This is a competition.

592
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,360
I keep having to wipe my face.

593
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,040
Ryan, Nance, you can start now.

594
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,600
Finally.

595
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,680
Right, contact lenses. Let's hope
I don't get bloody pink eyes.

596
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,520
Sometimes a bit more difficult
to get in.

597
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,120
This is one I always...

598
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:22,680
We're going to leave it for now.

599
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,240
Ryan's drawing on inspiration
from a difficult time in his life.

600
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,560
My look is all about
light overcoming dark times.

601
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,560
In 2017,
I was at the Ariana Grande concert

602
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,240
in the Manchester terror attack.

603
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,960
The community came together
and instead of focusing on the dark,

604
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,040
I tried to, like,
just look at the light

605
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,680
and just be around the light.

606
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,080
I'm doing the bald cap.

607
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,600
I haven't done something
as big as this before,

608
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,760
but I have an idea
of what I'm doing.

609
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,600
If she doesn't get it
nice and clean,

610
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,840
it's going to look
like a pair of old knickers.

611
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,360
OK, let's cut this
so I can see what I'm doing.

612
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,480
Oh, my God. Did you just see that?
What?

613
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,160
She's going way...

614
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,200
She's just cutting away
on that bald cap.

615
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,440
There ain't going
to be nothing left. Nothing left.

616
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,960
Just hack. Hacking away.
It's going to be a headband. Yeah.

617
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,640
Oh, my bald cap is ripping!

618
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:12,840
Mmm.

619
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,160
Oh, look, there's the ear. Oh.

620
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,120
I'll just pull my ear through that.

621
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,960
But you see where
she's stuck it down?

622
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,480
There is a big crease there.

623
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:20,480
There's a fold there. She...

624
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,840
Oh, here we go with the scissors.
Don't, don't, don't, don't.

625
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,280
Really close to the eyes.
Oh, I can't bear it. Don't. Stop.

626
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:28,800
Stop! Sorry.

627
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,600
I've shaved half of my face
cos I want this side

628
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,560
to be sort of
my altered presentation.

629
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,600
I want it to be hyper femme.

630
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,960
Charlie's concept
is a half-masculine,

631
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,680
half-feminine look.

632
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,200
My hidden strength is that I can
alter my presentation

633
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,160
to mimic how I feel on the inside

634
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,280
and to sort of settle my dysphoria
when I go through these...

635
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:01,920
..these episodes.

636
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,760
Don't really have, like, a set plan.

637
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,920
I mean, I'm just trying to switch
between the two.

638
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,360
Lashes.

639
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,400
Did you take the big lashes, Lisa?
No, no.

640
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,520
I want to make a lash quickly.

641
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,680
Having won yesterday's assignment,

642
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:19,040
teacher Lisa is hoping to stay
top of the class with her design.

643
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,640
The concrete is the barriers
that I, like, put up for myself.

644
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,040
And then there's going to be, like,
cracks that show my perseverance

645
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,840
of breaking those barriers.

646
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,360
I don't want to shave time off
with having to tidy up

647
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,920
the speckling.

648
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,560
So, I'm just trying to use paper
to, like, guard as much of my skin

649
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,600
as I can so the speckling stays
on the statue part.

650
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,480
It's quite interesting,
that speckle that she's doing.

651
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,760
Stippling. It's called stippling.

652
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,680
And it's really hard.
I need another hand.

653
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,960
Speckling. Bit of speckling?
Whatever.

654
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,120
It's going to hopefully achieve
a more, like, concrete look

655
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,400
for my statue.

656
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,800
Close your eye when you do that,
please.

657
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,360
Oh, no, I'm not going
to be able to see at all.

658
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,080
No, can't do that.

659
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,720
I've kind of put myself
in the mind-set

660
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,200
that I am just in my bedroom
creating content,

661
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,920
just so that I don't panic.

662
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,080
Like Lisa, glam MUA Rachel
is also creating

663
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,480
a cracked-surface effect
for her look.

664
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,400
My hidden strength is my positivity.

665
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,280
I have been through depression.

666
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,520
When I came out of it, I just became
this being of light.

667
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,360
So, my look is kind of showing
the broken pieces

668
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,240
and how I've transformed.

669
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,360
I've got this part, this part
and this part that are going

670
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,400
to be with the multi-chrome flakes.

671
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,400
But they're really hard to tame,

672
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,040
and I've already got some
in my hair.

673
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,080
Mikael. Hello.

674
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,560
Hmm.

675
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,360
So, you can't speak right now

676
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,960
because we have a mouthpiece.
Mm-hm-hm-hm.

677
00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:01,160
Right.

678
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,760
So, how are we going to communicate?

679
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,840
Maybe, like, a blink technique.

680
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,280
So, if I'm like,
"Are you feeling confident?"

681
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,280
Blink once. Mm-hm.

682
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,280
Are you worried about the time?

683
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,520
Mm.

684
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,000
Mm-hm.

685
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,400
No, blink.

686
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,600
Can you hear me? I can hear you.
Yeah. Yeah.

687
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,360
OK, so talk me through your look.

688
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:26,120
So, this look signifies me
on muting the black voice within me.

689
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,880
I'm incorporating African symbol.

690
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,320
For the mouthpiece. I'm going
to use, like, a thread

691
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,080
to go through it. So, yeah.

692
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,480
I mean, that is so impressive
what you've got there.

693
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,280
None of that is surgery.

694
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,720
It's me, honey.

695
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,640
Oh, my God. That's amazing,
that chocolate.

696
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,960
Now, these are good.

697
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,960
I don't think
I've had one of these before.

698
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,240
Have you not? No.

699
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,240
Right. OK, grab it. Concentration.

700
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,480
I'm putting it all there
so everybody thinks it's her.

701
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,960
All right, lovelies,
40 minutes down.

702
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,160
How many do we have in total? You've
got two hours and a half in total.

703
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,480
40 minutes are gone.
What does that mean, then?

704
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,480
I don't know.
I didn't get maths GCSE.

705
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,080
Did you not? Same.
So, 40 minutes,

706
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,120
take away from two hours and a half.

707
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,920
We need maths. Do your maths GCSE.

708
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,120
OK, I need to keep going
with this, so...

709
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,880
Oh. Ooh!

710
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,800
Reminds me of a date I once had.

711
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,120
It didn't end well.

712
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,840
I just really, really want
to make sure that I'm not rushing

713
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,000
on one aspect at the end,
or I'm running out of time

714
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,320
and can't complete it.

715
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,680
That's a lot of prosthetic
to try and paint, though.

716
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,280
Now I'm starting to stress
out a little bit.

717
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,200
These flakes are a lot harder
to work with than I thought.

718
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,920
It shouldn't have taken this long.

719
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,640
What you do is you put
the glitter on first... Mm-hm.

720
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,520
..clean up all the fallout. Yeah.

721
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,280
You then go in with the beauty.

722
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,560
She's wasting time by not
thinking through the process.

723
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,320
Now I'm worried about the time.

724
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:00,720
Definitely.

725
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,760
Why is it messy here?

726
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,440
Oh, dear.

727
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,960
Oh, gosh. What the hell is going on?

728
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,880
This bit didn't glue,

729
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,920
so I don't want that showing.

730
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,400
I can't look.

731
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,000
It's stressing me out.

732
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,480
She doesn't know what to do.

733
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,159
I just need to move on
and deal with that later.

734
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,040
So, I'm just putting
the fuller's earth on my body

735
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:30,760
to represent the coal.

736
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,080
I've mixed it with black paint

737
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,560
because I want it to look
like charcoal.

738
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,679
It's looking good, Ryan.
What do we think?

739
00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:39,719
I really like
what's going on here.

740
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,080
I like the fact
that he's in the zone.

741
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,199
One hour gone.

742
00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:49,000
One hour-and-a-half to go.

743
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,080
Likey, likey.

744
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,000
That's gone somewhere else. Yeah.

745
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,120
Are we a nebula? Are we tie-dye?

746
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,200
Are we an eyeball?

747
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,720
I'm just picking out my flowers
for the look.

748
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:13,480
So, I'm going to place the flowers
first and then I'll draw

749
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,000
the stems afterwards.

750
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,640
Want a nice big one here.

751
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,320
Yeah. Pop a little bit of skin-safe
adhesive on the back,

752
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,920
and then a little bit on my skin.

753
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,960
And then I can pop it on.

754
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,480
Yeah, pretty.

755
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,360
I'm just laying down some flat-back
pearls along the mouth,

756
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,960
and that is to try and replicate
the chameleon's scales.

757
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,480
Then, once that's on,
I can get started on painting.

758
00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:51,800
Everything I touch is sticky.

759
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,680
I am concerned

760
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:02,240
quite a few of our MUAs
are going to run out of time.

761
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:05,080
Yeah, there's a lot of faffing.

762
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,680
This is not at home in your bedroom.

763
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,440
You're not doing this
for social media? No.

764
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,760
I'm really worried about Mikael.

765
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,520
I'm really worried about him.

766
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:19,960
Hmm.

767
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:34,440
I've just added a few more lines
to the face.

768
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,640
It was originally
just a round circle.

769
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,440
I just hope I can
get the symmetry great,

770
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:44,320
you know, up to the standard
that would impress Val and Dom.

771
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,720
I think this is a really
beautiful make-up.

772
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:48,920
You know what? It's giving me
modern Bowie.

773
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,760
Yeah. I like it.

774
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,960
Oh, my goodness me.

775
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,360
I'm a little bit stressed.

776
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,560
I've got some rhinestones to add.

777
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,800
I hope I can get them done on time.

778
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,760
I'm just working all the colour on.

779
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,760
The latex does take
a little bit of time.

780
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,080
I want it to be really detailed,

781
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,600
so I'm going to move on to that
really soon.

782
00:37:15,720 --> 00:37:19,720
What is it? What Charlie's done
is, like, basic beauty. Basic, yeah.

783
00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:21,480
It's not enough.

784
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,760
No. I'm really disappointed.

785
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,200
I think I need to do more
with the left side.

786
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,360
I'm just unsure...

787
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,800
..what, and I don't want it
to look messy.

788
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,360
Half an hour left.

789
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,080
Oh, my God. 30 minutes.

790
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,080
30 minutes.

791
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:42,960
In this last half an hour,

792
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,680
take a look around the room. Yeah.

793
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,360
And if this is what we're getting...

794
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:48,880
Week one. ..day two,

795
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,760
I am so excited.

796
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,080
This part is still...

797
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:05,080
..it's still an issue.

798
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,640
But I'm not going to...I'm not
going to give up.

799
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,880
I'm going to keep trying
to glue it down.

800
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,840
She's done a hell of a lot
of make-up.

801
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,480
Yes, it may not be 100% perfect,

802
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,200
but she's had less time
than everyone else.

803
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,880
From where I'm sitting,
she's brought it back.

804
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,760
She is looking
like an underwater avatar.

805
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,040
Oh, gosh.

806
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:26,040
I'm literally done, like...

807
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:30,720
I'm literally finished.
What do I do?

808
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,720
I might try and put
the contact lens in,

809
00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:35,640
but I don't want my eyes
to go all funny.

810
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,120
And I kind of like the whole
two-different-coloured-eyes.

811
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:39,840
I think it looks really edgy
and weird.

812
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,280
15 minutes left.

813
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,280
I was going to do another
missing piece

814
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,040
with the light shining through it,

815
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,480
but I don't think
I have the time to do that.

816
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,320
I'm just sort of adding the pearls
in now.

817
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,160
It gives this, like, real illusion

818
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,120
that's it's like...there's a lot
of depth in the design.

819
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:12,960
Five minutes to go.

820
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:14,720
Stress.

821
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,160
My hands getting a little bit shaky.

822
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,720
I'm putting the wires in my hair.

823
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:24,240
I'm rushing.

824
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,600
Gosh, I don't know
how I'm going to do this.

825
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:49,800
Oh, gosh.

826
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,720
All right. Time is up.

827
00:39:55,720 --> 00:39:57,280
Brushes down.

828
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,120
Oh, my God. I hope that's enough.

829
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,320
Please go next door
to have your looks photographed.

830
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,440
I feel relieved that I've done
the look.

831
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,080
And I did it in two hours
and 15 minutes.

832
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,520
I'm proud of myself.

833
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,600
Comparing yourself to other
people is inevitable.

834
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:18,760
But I'm proud of my look.

835
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,760
It's personal to me, and I hope
that they can see that.

836
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,320
I think I've definitely redeemed
myself and hopefully I get

837
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,280
a ding-dong, fingers crossed.

838
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,640
Ryan, I would love you to tell us
what your hidden strength is.

839
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,560
In 2017, unfortunately, I was
at the Ariana Grande concert

840
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,560
in the Manchester terror attack.

841
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,360
And that time was very,
very dark for me.

842
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:49,360
So my hidden strength is getting
light to get through dark times.

843
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:50,680
Wow.

844
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,760
This is quite astonishing.

845
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,800
Thank you. You've somehow got
this orange and yellow glowing

846
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:57,800
and it's just like...

847
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:01,440
You know?

848
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,560
And then the clay that you've used
helps to make that orange

849
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,920
just so much more punchy.

850
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,240
Today, you focused,

851
00:41:09,240 --> 00:41:12,280
you knew you didn't want
to be in that red chair. No.

852
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,520
The texture works for me.

853
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,600
I think you did an incredible job.

854
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,720
I really must commend
you for actually knowing

855
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:24,040
when to stop, because you were
definitely the first to finish.

856
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,080
And I like that you were like,
"Actually, I'm done."

857
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,880
And I think it's a really
strong look.

858
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,760
Thank you so much. Rachel...

859
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:38,760
This look is kind of representing
the skin kind of fading away and me

860
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,640
coming into the light.

861
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,960
It's very hard to apply glitter
without it going everywhere.

862
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:51,960
You've packed that glitter on
beautifully, but this brown paper,

863
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,880
like, this is a metamorphosis.
You're coming through. Yeah.

864
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,640
Did you start out with only one eye?
Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

865
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,360
I completely understand.

866
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,440
The way you've used that lighter
shade of foundation gives a real

867
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,800
sort of three-dimensional
feel to the make-up.

868
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,400
But to really pull your story out,
you could have added in maybe

869
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:12,720
some darker glitter.

870
00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:18,240
I think the overall effect is there,
but we're looking for more.

871
00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:19,680
Yeah.

872
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:20,720
Lisa...

873
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,800
My hidden strength is my
perseverance.

874
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,240
The concrete, statuesque forms
represent self-made barriers

875
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:32,920
that I put up, and the cracks and
the wild flowers represent pushing

876
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,120
through those barriers.

877
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,800
I loved the technique to create
that concrete effect,

878
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,360
and it really does look
like concrete, it's brilliant.

879
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:42,960
Well done. I'm really impressed.

880
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:48,200
This is a work of art, the attention
to detail.

881
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,960
You'd stuck the flowers on,
but it's so clever with the shading.

882
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:57,680
It really married the whole
painting together.

883
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:02,640
You lot should be very, very scared.

884
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:03,760
Thank you.

885
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,000
Thank you so much.

886
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,480
Thank you.

887
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,160
Whoa! My God!

888
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,000
Charlie...

889
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,000
My hidden strength was my ability
to battle my

890
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,080
dysphoria through presentation.

891
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:26,440
So on the...well, the right side
here, a bit gross and uncomfortable

892
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,240
and the other side is high femme,
sort of how I present on days

893
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:32,600
where, you know, I do need to settle
my dysphoria.

894
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,840
Thank you for sharing your story.
No worries. Really amazing.

895
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,680
I think that the exploration
of your narrative is there,

896
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,120
but I definitely would have liked
to see just a bit

897
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,000
more coming through.

898
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,960
I appreciate that.

899
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,560
The female side of your face,

900
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,720
you could have got some
contour in here.

901
00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:52,040
It would have been great to see

902
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:56,080
a bit more of a male-female
differentiation.

903
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,360
The liner is well applied
and the brow is really strong.

904
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,560
But what I'm struggling with is,
you know, we asked for a big,

905
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,280
bold, dramatic loop.

906
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:10,000
And when we think about what else
is going on in the room,

907
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,160
it is a little simple.

908
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,320
You just need to dial it up.

909
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:15,520
Yeah.

910
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,960
Thank you very much. I appreciate
that. Thank you.

911
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,000
Yong-Chin.

912
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,520
My hidden strength is my focus.

913
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,360
This make-up is a visual
representation of all my ideas

914
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,040
coming together in the centre
of my face.

915
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,280
Wow. I mean, what an explosion.

916
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,280
There was so much going on.

917
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:41,320
But I have to talk about the chest,
the way you have created

918
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:42,840
that sort of nebula.

919
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,680
It's just telling me everything
I love.

920
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,640
Oh, my days.

921
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,880
This is a beautiful look. Thank you.

922
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,160
When you're talking about lots of
different things coming into one,

923
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,720
I can really see
that translated here.

924
00:44:54,720 --> 00:44:57,600
I think you've executed it to a T.

925
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,200
Was that prosthetic... Is that
home-made?

926
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,280
It's just liquid latex
and cotton pads.

927
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,960
Exactly.

928
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:09,240
It's just liquid latex
and cotton wool.

929
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,440
Good golly.

930
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:16,080
I was just absolutely blown away.

931
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:23,920
I mean, the way the colours blend
right into your centre focal point.

932
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,680
Ding-dong, darling.

933
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:34,600
Adam...

934
00:45:37,720 --> 00:45:39,960
My hidden strength is bravery.

935
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:45,960
I love the asymmetry going on, you
know, that heaviness of that brow

936
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,160
and that underline.

937
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:51,000
There's lots of really interesting
things going on, but yellow

938
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,720
is a really tricky colour.

939
00:45:52,720 --> 00:45:54,200
It's a very weak pigment.

940
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:58,080
And the trouble with using
a brush is that you will always

941
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,320
get brush strokes.

942
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,800
So just use a sponge -
you will get a more seamless finish.

943
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,800
You haven't stepped out
of your comfort zone yet.

944
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,120
You've got it.

945
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:08,800
You've got it in there.

946
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,280
You need to show me
that you're brave.

947
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,760
I'm going to show you. You need
to show me that you're brave.

948
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,120
Yeah, I'm going to show you.

949
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,160
Sophie.

950
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,240
So my hidden strength
is based on a stem cell.

951
00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:24,960
I'm quite a sickly person.

952
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,320
I drew on these inspirations
and tried to make

953
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:28,800
the strongest look I could.

954
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,760
I was watching you,
and you were working with pencils.

955
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:37,560
I never saw you use a cotton bud,
you just went straight in,

956
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,640
and it was perfect straight away.

957
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,880
That is so lucky, right?

958
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,040
Or it's incredibly skilled.

959
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:47,600
Well done.

960
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,200
You've arrived. So thank you.
Thank you.

961
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,600
Sophie, I'm obsessed.

962
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,600
I love this.

963
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,000
I... Honestly, I love this.

964
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,120
The colours are really beautiful.

965
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,560
It's really intelligent. Well done.

966
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,280
You've really made a very strong
impression for your first look.

967
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,560
Kris, would you like
to come forward?

968
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,840
So my hidden strength is based
around my ability to transform.

969
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,320
Growing up, I had a lot of issues
with self-confidence.

970
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:19,520
I discovered make-up.

971
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,760
It really made me feel completely
empowered and completely in control.

972
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,200
This is a massive undertaking
in two-and-a-half hours.

973
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:27,520
That is a hell of a job,

974
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,560
and you've accomplished it.
Thank you.

975
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:32,480
It's a little rough,
but I love it.

976
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,840
Start polishing up
those little things,

977
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,800
and that's when I really feel
you're going to go a long, long way

978
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,680
in this competition. Thank you.

979
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,680
I loved the guppy mouth.

980
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,800
I loved the sort of
chinny-chin-chin.

981
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:52,000
For me, you have become
your hidden strength.

982
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:56,040
Wow, that... That is pure art.

983
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:57,480
Thank you.

984
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:01,200
Mikael, please tell us
your hidden strength.

985
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,680
Growing up as an African black man,
I became muted.

986
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:11,960
I have finally found the strength
to unmute my voice.

987
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,560
I think, initially, I understood
that there was a nod

988
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,360
to like the Black Power Movement,
and I commend you for doing that.

989
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:23,360
But I just felt like it could have
been neatened up a bit more. Yeah.

990
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,760
The symmetry is a little iffy. Off.

991
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,720
We have a bit of a glam lash
going on. Yeah.

992
00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:32,640
We have these jewels
on the forehead.

993
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,120
And I don't think it actually
relates to what you're trying
to say. To say.

994
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,720
You have tried to do too much. Yeah.

995
00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:42,000
But at the same time, it doesn't
look like you've done a lot.

996
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:48,080
It might have been better
if you'd taken one or two elements.

997
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:49,960
Maybe that was enough.

998
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,040
It's a bit hard to focus.

999
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,200
Thank you. Nance.

1000
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,440
I wanted to create
a celestial being that represents

1001
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,720
persistence and resilience.

1002
00:49:02,720 --> 00:49:05,600
If resilience and persistence
is your hidden strength,

1003
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,680
you're going to do really well
in this industry

1004
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,960
because that is what you need...
Thank you.

1005
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,840
..and that's what you showed
in your make-up.

1006
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:17,480
You were able to disguise
a really bad bald cap.

1007
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,240
The colour was fantastic.

1008
00:49:19,240 --> 00:49:21,120
I got the avatar.

1009
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,000
Your embellishments were on point.

1010
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,400
You gave me the whole package
with 15 minutes less

1011
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,960
than other make-up artists
in the room.

1012
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:35,320
That's the kind of make-up
that gets you out of the red chair.

1013
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,600
Thank you, MUAs.

1014
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:47,960
Now please go next door
whilst we decide

1015
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:52,920
who is going
into the face-off elimination.

1016
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,360
That's literally how I feel.

1017
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,400
Release. I'm so happy.

1018
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,880
I think we're all in agreement.

1019
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:15,680
Ryan and Nance have done
enough to beat the seat. Yeah.

1020
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:18,360
So who's going to fill them?

1021
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,200
Definite contender
has to be Charlie.

1022
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,800
I just don't feel like Charlie
delivered enough make-up.

1023
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:30,360
This is a look that should
have taken max 40 minutes.

1024
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,240
I wouldn't change anything
about it personally, but I do

1025
00:50:33,240 --> 00:50:35,040
understand what they're saying.

1026
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:38,760
Someone else I think
we need to discuss is Rachel.

1027
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,440
We asked for bold.
We asked for dramatic.

1028
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,800
And this is lacking.

1029
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,520
It needs to be a lot bigger.

1030
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:49,000
I completely agreed with everything
that they said, and I definitely

1031
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,000
want to show
that I can elevate myself.

1032
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,120
But other than that...

1033
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,400
I'd like to talk about Mikael.

1034
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,520
I just don't think
the execution is there. Yeah.

1035
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:02,360
There's almost too much story
going on, so you don't really know

1036
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:03,640
what he's trying to say.

1037
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,720
I hope I will not be going
into the face-off battle,

1038
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:11,000
I am ready for it because
this is what I'm built to do.

1039
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,600
So, yeah, bring it on.

1040
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:23,720
Ryan and Nance, you were our first
MUAs in the face-off chairs.

1041
00:51:23,720 --> 00:51:30,440
And despite a time penalty, you both
delivered fantastic looks.

1042
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,760
Double ding-dong, darlings.
You beat the seat.

1043
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,240
Now, this means
we have two seats to fill.

1044
00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:43,120
Charlie, your make-up
was just a little too simple.

1045
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,760
For that reason, you'll be
the first MUA heading

1046
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,400
into the face-off elimination.

1047
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:52,200
So we have one more seat to fill.

1048
00:51:55,120 --> 00:52:02,680
The second MUA going into
the face-off elimination is...

1049
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:08,280
..Mikael.

1050
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,480
OK. Thank you, judges.

1051
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:15,040
Mikael, Charlie, say your goodbyes,

1052
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,520
as one of you will be heading home
tonight.

1053
00:52:19,240 --> 00:52:20,440
Bye, diva.

1054
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:30,440
To level the playing field,

1055
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:34,280
the MUAs will face off
over a set of identical twins.

1056
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,240
To succeed in this industry,
you need to know your technical

1057
00:52:38,240 --> 00:52:40,760
make-up fundamentals inside and out.

1058
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,320
The face-off is a test of
technical skill under pressure.

1059
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,760
There's nowhere to hide.

1060
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,320
For your first face-off challenge,
we want you to master a trend

1061
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,480
that is really hot on social media.

1062
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,240
The reverse cat eye.

1063
00:52:55,240 --> 00:53:00,000
The key to achieving this look
is a fierce hand

1064
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,000
with a confident brush stroke.

1065
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,680
Using gel liner,

1066
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,160
apply along the bottom lash line.

1067
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:14,760
This is a bold line with one end
reaching past the tear duct

1068
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:18,000
and the other stretching
to an upward flick.

1069
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,720
We are looking for clean lines
and symmetry.

1070
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:31,160
OK, Charlie, Mikael, you have
15 minutes to complete your look.

1071
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,560
Your time starts now.

1072
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:54,480
Halfway through now.

1073
00:53:59,720 --> 00:54:01,920
You know what?
Mikael picked up that pencil,

1074
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:03,520
he went straight into the waterline.

1075
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:08,680
I'm really excited because
so far we haven't seen anything

1076
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:10,680
precise from Mikael. Yeah.

1077
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,840
And straight off,
I'm seeing symmetry...

1078
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:16,120
Yeah. ..precision.

1079
00:54:18,240 --> 00:54:20,120
We are halfway through,

1080
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,160
and Charlie hasn't even started.

1081
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,000
What is going on? I don't know.

1082
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,040
Why is Charlie wasting time?

1083
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,520
One minute left now.

1084
00:54:52,720 --> 00:54:55,880
Brushes down. Time's up.

1085
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,520
Judges,
I presume you want a closer look?

1086
00:54:58,520 --> 00:54:59,560
Absolutely.

1087
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:08,120
This.

1088
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,280
Confab? Mm.

1089
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,840
Wow. This is unexpected.
I know, I know.

1090
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:29,880
I mean, it was like Charlie wants
to bow out on their own terms.

1091
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:31,360
I agree.

1092
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,200
But Mikael, he's delivering
some really great symmetry,

1093
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,000
and that shape on the end
is beautiful.

1094
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:43,400
Have you reached a decision?

1095
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,320
We certainly have.

1096
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,880
We asked for a reverse cat eye,

1097
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:53,040
for clean lines and symmetry.

1098
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:54,760
Charlie...

1099
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:58,520
You didn't deliver
what we asked for.

1100
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,400
Mikael, you did.

1101
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:03,960
So congratulations.

1102
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,840
We'll see you next week. Thank you.

1103
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:08,360
Charlie.

1104
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:09,920
It's just really sad to see you go

1105
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:13,080
because you are
a really incredible creative.

1106
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:14,720
Thank you, though.

1107
00:56:14,720 --> 00:56:16,880
And I was so excited to see
what you could have done

1108
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,520
in the forthcoming weeks.

1109
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:20,720
What I've done,

1110
00:56:20,720 --> 00:56:22,920
I just hope that I haven't...

1111
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:24,880
..no-one feels disrespected
because it's not...

1112
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,520
It's...it's nothing of the sort.

1113
00:56:28,720 --> 00:56:30,640
Mikael, I'll love you for ever.

1114
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:34,080
I know people may be confused,
but I just wanted to get

1115
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:35,440
my one message across.

1116
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,560
And I'm proud of my Glow Up journey.
Short but sweet.

1117
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,240
And I'm proud of what I've done,
honestly.

1118
00:56:41,240 --> 00:56:42,480
Mikael.

1119
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:49,520
I am feeling so great.

1120
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,040
Y'all thought you were going
to get rid of me!

1121
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:56,960
So now, in the next challenges
coming up, you'll be expecting a lot

1122
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,880
of weird and wonderful from Mikael.

1123
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:01,440
Right!

1124
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:05,400
Congratulations on making
it through to next week.

1125
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,800
I think you should go home and get
some rest because next week

1126
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:12,760
there'll be no waiting in the wings
as your make-up will be put

1127
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,000
in the spotlight.

1128
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,640
Next time,
the MUAs take centre stage.

1129
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:20,520
Cirque du Soleil.

1130
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:23,640
This is huge.

1131
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,680
And at Glow Up studios...

1132
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,800
Oh! ..rave reviews.

1133
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:29,960
Wow. This is just wow.
