When Glow Up launched to the BBC last year, they could not have predicted what a worldwide hit they were on to.
The make-up competition pits some of the UK’s most talented MUAs against one another in different themed rounds. From photoshoots to Fashion Week, the competitors get a taste of what it would be like to be one of the world’s top make-up artists.
The second series launched to BBC iPlayer on Thursday, May 14th with new episodes dropped per week. The episodes will air on BBC One and Netflix later.
So without further ado, let’s get to know the cast of Glow Up season 2. We found them on Instagram so you can check out some of their fantastic make-up artistry!
