Interview with Leomie Anderson
We’re back! How does it feel to be returning for another series as host?
It’s so exciting to be back. I really missed being on set and having the pleasure of getting to know these amazing artists and watch them grow in the show. And of course I’m excited to pull out more looks of my own!
What differences did you find this time around from your first series?
I’m a lot more comfortable and know what to expect which feels good. I also feel better prepared to support the MUAs as their sort of friend on the show.
Were there any standout moments that you can share without revealing any major spoilers?
One of the artists created a look you needed a phone filter to see in all its glory, that was pretty epic! You’ll have to watch and see how it turned out…
What do you love the most about hosting the show?
I love getting to surprise the MUAs with my own looks each day. They’d take bets on what colours I’d be wearing. My favourite part was watching the make-up transformations in real time because it’s where you truly see the MUAs passion for make-up come out – it’s a really interesting process.
Do you have any favourite guest judges that joined yourself, Val and Dominic this series?
I loved meeting Alexis Stone as I’m a huge fan of his work and transformations! I also loved meeting Mitchell (Creative Director of Made By Mitchell) as we’ve followed each other for a while and it was our first time meeting face to face.
What would be your desert island make-up product and why?
Lip gloss – I literally cannot survive without it. I would simply shrivel up and die without gloss!
What do you think is the key to a flawless make-up look?
Prepping the skin before applying make-up is super important and also setting your products with powder correctly.
What can viewers expect when they tune in on BBC Three?
They can expect a season of big personalities and even bigger make-up looks!
Interview with Dominic Skinner
It’s series 6! How does it feel to be returning for another glittering series?
It feels incredible to be back with another series of Glow Up. More sparkle, more glamour and more fantastic looks!
What do you love the most about being a judge?
What I love most is seeing the development of all the young artists. Our goal as judges is to build up and encourage each of them so that no matter how far they get in the competition, they end up stronger, more skilled and an all-round better artist to when they first entered Glow Up Studios.
Were there any standout moments that you can share without revealing any major spoilers?
There are so many moments that stood out for me but this year for the first time, we challenged the MUAs to create a full body paint look. Body painting is a passion of mine and it was so exciting to see what they were able to deliver in the incredible short time frame.
Do you have any favourite guest judges that joined yourself, Val and Leomie this series?
Each guest judge we had this series was brilliant. They passed on amazing knowledge and shared so many wonderful tip and tricks to the MUAs. However, it was lovely having Isamaya Ffrench back. We had a lot of fun that day.
What would be your desert island make-up or skincare product and why?
I would have to go with SPF for practical reasons but i would also need a lip balm. I can’t sleep without putting lip balm on. If I have to be stranded on a desert island, I’d rather not be tired too!
What do you think is the key to a flawless make-up look?
The key to a flawless look is all about the base. If you prep the skin correctly and get a perfect match with your foundation, you can literally do anything you want and it will always look either good or on purpose!
What can viewers expect when they tune in on BBC Three?
They can expect bigger looks, bolder colours and bonkers creations!
Interview with Val Garland
We’re back and it’s series six! How does it feel to be returning for another glittering series?
I’m so excited I can’t wait! It’s unbelievable, I’m so honoured!
What do you love the most about being a judge?
I love how inspiring it is to be in the company of such untapped talent.
Were there any standout moments that you can share without revealing any major spoilers?
Well, let’s just say an ambulance was involved! You’ll need to tune in to find out more…
Do you have any favourite guest judges that joined yourself, Leomie and Dominic this series?
I was so in awe of all of the different flavours we were getting from out guest judges – it’s what makes Glow Up such an interesting and unique point of view. Each of our guest judges brings their expert knowledge, special brand of success and are trail blazers on the make-up motorway.
What would be your desert island make-up or skincare product and why?
Mascara, because it makes me look like I have eyes!
What do you think is the key to a flawless make-up look?
Preparation, tools, application and technique.
What can viewers expect when they tune in on BBC Three?
The highs, the lows the creativity and… The Drama!
