The eight remaining MUAs dive into the world of social media make-up.\n\nThis week’s guest judge is online sensation Nikkie de Jager, aka NikkieTutorials, whose entertaining and instructive social media make-up videos have amassed over 11 million subscribers on YouTube and Instagram. Her videos have featured stars like Kim Kardashian and Bebe Rehxa, and now she is challenging the MUAs to produce a make-up challenge video that has the potential to go viral. \n\nThis week’s creative brief is a revealing one - asking the MUAs to reflect on their strengths and weaknesses by creating a ‘two-faced’ look – meaning making up the face in two distinct halves. Through the looks they create we learn about Steph’s battle with bullies, Leigh’s struggles with colour-blindness and how Paige’s happy exterior can mask her true feelings. And the building pressure to get the looks finished against the clock proves too much for some of the MUAs.\n\n
