Series three will see the battle of the brushes take place across multiple real-world assignments and challenges, as the MUA's get to work on everything from studio shoots and campaigns with Superdrug and Asos, through to period make-up and prosthetics on set with Pose, The Crown and Peaky Blinders.

The MUA's are hopeful to impress the judges and be tipped as Britain’s Next Make-Up Star, winning a contract to work alongside some of the world’s biggest artists.

Glow Up 2021 will air today, Tuesday 20 April with new episodes dropping weekly on BBC Three/BBC iPlayer. As well as streaming online, episodes will air on BBC One every Tuesday at 10:45PM.
