The four remaining MUAs are booked by superstar DJ and producer Jonas Blue to do the make-up looks for the backing dancers in his new music video, Something Stupid. Filmed in a large LED cube, the make-up will need to complement different backdrops. Filmed in just one day, the shooting of the video follows a strict schedule, so any make-up mishaps need to be rectified quickly, otherwise the whole day could be thrown off track. This assignment is a huge opportunity for the MUAs, as their work will be viewed by millions when the video is released to Jonas Blue’s global fanbase. Joining Val and Dominic as guest judge and director of the music video is Rankin.\n\nThe next day, the MUAs gather at Glow Up Studios to find out which two were judged to have created the weakest looks for the music video. They both start the day in the red Face Off chairs with a 15-minute time penalty in the Creative Brief, which this week involves creating a look inspired by a guilty pleasure. The judges want the MUAs to create looks that are bold and imaginative. One MUA struggles with their colour application while another battles with symmetry, and risks are taken with a look using only two colours.\n\nThe judges decide which two MUAs have produced the weakest looks before revealing who will go head to head in the Face Off elimination, a make-up skill drill under intense time pressure. Here they are tasked with creating a full face gradient. The MUA who least impresses will have to leave the competition.
