It all comes down to this. Glow Up: Britain’s Next Make-Up Star concludes its seventh series on Wednesday, 18 June, with a high-stakes finale that will see one MUA walk away with the title. Airing at 8:00 PM BST on BBC Three, the episode, The Final: The Masterclass, puts the remaining artists through two last assignments designed to test their creativity and industry readiness.
First up is a Creative Brief judged by make-up powerhouse Danessa Myricks, where the artists are tasked with creating looks inspired by dopamine. Following that is the ultimate Industry Assignment: a Masterclass hosted by Sephora. In front of an audience filled with industry heavyweights—including Ruby Hammer MBE, Nadia Stacey, Andrew Gallimore, Lan Nguyen-Grealis, and journalist Ateh Jewel—each finalist must demonstrate a technique that defines their personal style.
The pressure is immense, with family and friends in attendance as the judges evaluate the MUAs’ entire body of work from the past eight weeks. This final hour isn’t just about a single look; it’s a culmination of every brushstroke and creative choice that has led them to this point. For make-up fans, it’s a last look at the season’s top talent under the most intense scrutiny.
