It is glitter, gloss and glam this week as Stacey Dooley returns to her favourite dance floor. The MUAs battle it out in Britain’s most famous ballroom at Strictly Come Dancing.\n\nThis week’s guest judge is Bafta Award-winning hair and make-up designer Lisa Armstrong. Lisa is responsible for creating up to 50 original make-up looks every week on Strictly, and today she has a new team to help design and execute the make-up for movie week. Working to the exacting time pressures of a live show, the MUAs must deliver make-up that embodies the Strictly brand - lashes, glamour and glitter! Each MUA is allocated a different movie and two characters that they have to design a look for. Whoever impresses the most has the opportunity to work with Lisa backstage at the live show, but those that fail to deliver run the risk of starting the creative brief in the red face-off chairs. With looks including Pokemon and the psychedelic-inspired Austin Powers, one MUA surpasses Lisa’s expectations and executes the make-up beautifully, whilst another’s bad attitude upsets the judges.\n\nThe next day in Glow Up HQ, the MUAs are asked to transform their model into a superhero. One MUA pushes their creativity by using a food blender to help create the base to their look, whilst another blows the judges away with an amazing illusion make-up.\n\nThe two MUAs who impress the least head into the elimination face-off, but their glitter lip skill drill throws the judges into deadlock as they battle to decide who should earn a place in the semi-final.
