The nine remaining MUAs are put in the spotlight as they enter the world of theatre. They must complete the stage looks on the artists for a live performance of Cirque du Soleil’s Luzia at the Royal Albert Hall. Joining Val and Dominic this week is the make-up designer for eight of Cirque’s most iconic productions, Maryse Gosselin. \n\nThis week’s creative brief sees the MUAs challenged to create a body paint look inspired by all things weird and wonderful, extending beyond their model’s face and onto their torso, arms and hands. \n\nFinally the bottom two MUAs face off in a make-up skill drill in which they must create a mermaid lip that glimmers with a metallic aqua finish. Following this, one MUA packs their kit and leaves the competition.\n
