BBC Three has today announced that Adam, Charlie, Kris, Mikaél, Ryan, Sophie, Rachel, Nancé, Lisa and Yong-Chin will make up the brand new cast of Glow Up’s aspiring and talented MUAs, as the hit series returns for its fourth series.
The 10 aspiring make-up artists are tested by leading industry experts in varied high-stakes Professional Assignments from TV to theatre, fashion to front covers and online beauty campaigns.
At the Glow Up Studio their talents are pushed to the limit with creative make-up transformations and each week the two MUAs who least impress series judges, Val Garland and Dominic Skinner, go head-to-head in a Face Off elimination, putting their technical skills under the spotlight. After 8 weeks, the last MUA standing is crowned Britain’s Next Make-up Star, winning a contract assisting some of the world’s top make-up artists.
