Agree the last series (and this one) looks like its less about make up and all about gender when the muas are on at the start why do they all have he him she her etc I don't get it should it mot be about the artists? And not about what they identify as.

Glad the cocky pricky left, I hope it's brought them down a peg or two. They really thought they were better than everyone else didn't they?

And then they struggle with basic make up artistry like colour matching and wing eyeliner when they have to do beauty challenges.

Rankin is great for many reasons but most importantly he doesn't blow smoke up anyone's ass. The contestants know if he likes their work they're doing well.
I am also hoping for less face painting this series. As an older lady I'd love to see what they could do with older models.

Me too. I was very confused about the whole thing and i think the only guest I've ever recognised is the Queen herself, Lisa eldridge. :-/
I'm not really enjoying this series as much. Its all just a bit boring and samey as people have been saying.
I dont know if its just me noticing a bit more this time around but I am a bit fed up of all the personal stories and issues. The one this week about asthma was a bit much. I think everyone has daily struggles and issues but spending 5-10 min trying to justify why you should be in a competition just seems a bit redundant and they would be better off using that time to show the challenges and make up etc. Reminds me a bit of Xfactor or BGT with the sob stories.
I usually love Glow Up but this series I am just meh about it. I think with restrictions relaxing its probably going to drop off my TV/watching radar when compared to the last two series I was literally counting down to the new episodes.

O
I don't think my work would be very impressed if I turned up looking like a sea monster because I was copying glow up for for make up tips
Totally agreeI think some of you feel the same, but I really wish it was more of a normal make-up show rather than just all about special fx and doing the most outrageous looks they can think of. I wanted it to be something I could actually learn from, like doing glam looks, subtle no make-up looks, holiday, night out etc. And more of doing make-up on people with different skin tones, textures, features rather than just covering them all up with prosthetics and wild colours. Now it just seems to be about who can make the weirdest creation, and I have to stick with watching mua's on tiktok

Feel like she's there just to look good. Her outfits have been terrible though

I still like this but the first series was loads better. The whole crap about the journey and who they are gets me down. Why can't they just want to be good MUAs and win a competition? I don't get why the show has to be slanted to the different/camp/drag angle and lots of people who have struggled to fit in - just have a cross section of people. I also really dislike Val and her nasty opinions

Why does their make up have to a story and deep meaning?
I much prefer the brief assignments they do

Thats why the first two series were so good!!!! I loved the challenge on the first series where they did celebs makeup for I think the soap awards or NTAs - one of them made over Ann from the chase. That to me was the essence of glow up. Now it has lost its way big timeI think some of you feel the same, but I really wish it was more of a normal make-up show rather than just all about special fx and doing the most outrageous looks they can think of.

This is why I’m hesitant to watch it because it’s not about make up but about face painting. The first series was good but it’s progressively gotten worse.
They do my fucking nut in
It looks like all the last challenges are going to be sob stories/painting a model rather than actual make up looks. I am really struggling with it this year, previous years I have loved it.
I am pleased with who went this week though.
i agree they seem to give Yong-chin a hard time and i Think she is quite good. They clearly seem to have their favourites this year
