It is showtime as the MUAs take on the world of theatrical make-up at London鈥檚 West End smash hit The Lion King. In Glow Up HQ, they create a look that reveals more than it hides.

It is showtime for the eight remaining MUAs as they dive into the world of theatrical make-up, treading the boards at London鈥檚 West End smash hit The Lion King.

The MUAs need to impress guest judge and The Lion King global associate hair and make-up designer Ashley Roller as she sets them the challenge to precisely replicate the make-up from four of the main characters, meeting the theatre鈥檚 meticulously high standard. At the end of the assignment, the made-up actors take centre stage on the Lyceum Theatre鈥檚 famous set for Ashley, Val and Dominic to assess the make-up. The MUA that impresses most is invited to work alongside Ashley and The Lion King鈥檚 prestigious make-up team for the evening鈥檚 performance. Those that fail to impress pay the penalty by starting the next day鈥檚 creative brief in the red face-off chairs.

This week鈥檚 creative brief is a revealing one - asking the MUAs to create a look that incorporates a mask that reveals more than it hides. One MUA turns to special effects, using artex and dressmaker鈥檚 pins to create a scold鈥檚 bridle, while another attempts to pull off a seamless bald cap in a split-face transformation that they hope demonstrates their courage to stay bright no matter what life throws at them. For one MUA, the building pressure of the competition proves too much.

With judging complete, the weakest two MUAs battle it out in the face-off elimination, which results in Val and Dominic coming head to head as they struggle to decide which MUA should leave the competition.
