Presenter Maya Jama will host the new series on BBC Three, joined by returning resident judges Val Garland and Dominic Skinner.
Dolli, Sophie, Alex, Xavi, Elliot, Ryley, Samah, Nicole, Jack and Craig make up the brand new cast of Glow Up’s aspiring MUAs, in a year when more applications than ever were received to join the competition.
The new ten MUAs 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.
Appearing across the season will be a glittering array of guest judges and experts from across the worlds of beauty, TV, music and fashion, including:
Ateh Jewel, award-winning beauty journalist and trail-blazing diversity campaigner
Sherri Laurence, Emmy award-winner and make-up department head on Pose
Les Child, choreographer and voguing pioneer
Cate Hall, lead hair and make-up designer on The Crown

Loz Schiavo, Bafta-winning make-up designer on Peaky Blinders
Rankin, globally-renowned photographer and director
Jonas Blue, DJ and music producer
Awa, singer
Lisa Eldridge, one of the world’s leading make-up artists
Sharing a teaser of the new series, the BBC reveal: “Series three will see the battle of the brushes take place across multiple real-world assignments and challenges, as the MUAs 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.
“Internationally recognised photographer Rankin invites the MUAs to work on a look for a music video with Jonas Blue and Awa, while global TikTok superstar Abby Roberts teaches them what works on social media. Finally, Lisa Eldridge, one of the world’s most experienced and respected make-up artists, completes the line up for the final challenge: a masterclass in make up.”
Glow Up will start on Tuesday, 20 April with new episodes dropping weekly on BBC Three/BBC iPlayer.
