Ep 2. TV Makeup: POSE

In the second episode of season 3 of Glow Up, the contestants are tasked with creating TV makeup looks inspired by the hit series, Pose. The challenge pushes the artists to think about how TV makeup differs from everyday and editorial makeup.

The episode starts off with contestants arriving in the studio and getting ready for their second challenge. The judges, Dominic Skinner and Val Garland, explain the challenge and how the contestants will have to create TV makeup looks inspired by the show, Pose. The artists are given a brief on what the judges are looking for, including attention to detail, staying power, and editorial flair.

The contestants have just 90 minutes to create a transformative look that can withstand the rigors of being on camera. Each artist brings a unique approach to the challenge, with some opting for bold and colorful looks while others opt for more natural-looking styles. It's clear that all of the artists are feeling the pressure as they work to perfect their looks.

As the clock ticks down, the contestants start to lose their cool, and some begin to doubt their abilities. However, they all pull through and it's time for the judges' critique. First up is Hannah, who created a bold and colorful look inspired by the ballroom scene in Pose. The judges commend her for her attention to detail and bold use of color.

Next up is Jack, who opted for a more natural-looking style inspired by characters on the show. The judges appreciate the subtle nuances in his work, but also question whether his look is transformative enough for TV.

Then there's James, whose vibrant and colorful look is heavily inspired by the show's avant-garde runway looks. The judges compliment his bold approach but question whether the look is too editorial for TV.

As the critiques continue, tensions run high among the contestants. It's clear that each artist is putting everything into their work and desperately wants to come out on top. However, only one can be named the winner of the challenge.

Finally, the judges reach their verdict. The winner of the challenge is crowned, and the bottom two artists are sent to a head-to-head competition to determine who will stay and who will go home. The stakes have never been higher, and the artists must once again show off their skills and creativity in order to stay in the competition.

In the end, only one artist will emerge victorious and be one step closer to becoming Britain's next makeup star. But who will it be? Tune in to find out in the latest episode of Glow Up!
