Reality television competition Glow Up: Britain’s Next Best Make-Up Star is set to return to our screens for its 7th season later this month!
Hosted by supermodel Leomie Anderson, and featuring star judges Val Garland and Dominic Skinner, the latest series will premiere on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer on Wednesday April 30th at 8pm.
As with previous seasons, each episode ten aspiring make-up artists will be judged on their creative skills and ability to perform under pressure, in incredible Professional Assignments from working backstage at a fashion show to learning from the best in TV & SFX make-up artistry to creating innovative make-up lenses for Snapchat, Glow Up is back bigger and better than ever.
At Glow Up Studios, contestants will push their creativity and technical abilities to the limit as they strive to impress the judges. 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 prize that could turn their make-up dreams into reality and is crowned Britian’s Next Make-up Star.
