Glow up on BBC 3 - anyone else watched it?

[ElfrideSwancourt]

Wasn't sure about Stacey because her accent really grates on me, but I liked her in this and the format so far.

DH and I watched it, and loved it. We are definitely not the target audience (late 40s) but found it really engrossing. Helps we love Stacey, she’s very empathetic. However, we wanted Dina to stay at the end.

But - how annoying is the singular “lip” “eye” malarkey?

Also late 40s 😀And yes that really bugs me too!

I thought Brandon should have gone too - I'm not keen on his Kardashian style of makeup.

Late 40s here too but watching with DD16. We liked it but also thought Brandon should have been the one to go having performed badly in all 3 tests.

I agree, Dina should have stayed. When they showed some of the make up she does I thought it was amazing!
Brandon was far too cocky and sure of himself. I thought his first look was very boring and safe.
Looking forward to future episodes!

I really enjoyed it. Definitely not the target audience (58) but love make up/make-overs. I also thought Brandon should go. Ok Dina’s did look more like a face paint effect rather than a make up one but she has talent and what she did seemed very well executed. Brandon was confidence over talent.

I enjoyed it, there used to be a hair one that was entertaining too. It just disappeared.
I agree that Brandon should have went.

Yes I saw it. I already think the black girl with the colourful hair will win/

Paige and her ego/attitude is very irritating.

Enjoyed this show.

The french guy, (Mattheus?) really let himself down.
His prosthetic make up on himself was outstanding and he did nothing like that at all

Can I ask, why is Mathieus the only mua to wear a mask?

Watched two episodes and have given up. Judges are irritating, Brandon was by far the worst all episode and last. The chair thing makes no sense either, just announce a bottom two after the first two challenges. I don't find many of the MUAs likeable either which hasn't helped.

Stacey is a very good host though.

Watched ep 2 last night. Really can't understand how Branson escaped a second time having effectively failed at every challenge set across both episodes.

I'm no expert but surely editorial beauty make-up and cinematic special effects make-up are two completely different things and professionals specialise in one or the other?

Would be more interesting to have two sections with different sets of competitors in beauty and sfx.

Last nights was irritating what with the arguing (instigated by Paige it seemed) and then Brandon flouncing out because his ear kept falling off. I think he needed to go as Mathieu has more potential imo and because he doesn’t have the temperament for professional work. You can’t cry and flounce off in any job because something isn’t going well. He’s really precious.

I agree special fx and make up seem two different careers but the guy did seem to say they have to be good at everything because it’s rare you’ll get a job doing exactly what you want in the industry. The whole red chair thing seems mad. Just have a round between the two weakest that week and the one who does the best job gets to stay.

I hate it when the judging comes down to one thing, I agree it should be on all their work and attitude.

Love the format so much! And Stacey is alright in this

Anyone seen the latest one?

Paige needs to go, she’s such a drama queen

Good call on who went this week.
Also, how tall is Nikki?!

I’m watching this and really enjoy it. And all caught up on it.

Right person went yesterday.

Still don’t know why Matthieu wears a mask???

Who do you think will win?

I think he just didnt want to breathe on the model/ be breathed on.
I really like the quiet girl whose name I can't remember, Claire? She just needs a bit more confidence.
I loved her paintbrush look.

Nikki is 6'2".

I’m really not sure who will win. I think they’ve all been playing it a bit safe until this latest episode when they applied makeup to themselves and they seemed to let themselves go a bit and showed more creativity. I really liked the girl with the red hair who did half her face black and white, her look was fab! Also the lady with dreads who was in the red seat, I liked her look too.

Checking in watching the latest episode

Steph really needs to stop talking
