Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star

I enjoyed the contestants, and the work they did but I hated the judges. Also I felt like there could have been more creativity in the challenges.

I could go the rest of my life without hearing the phrase "Ding Dong" and be super happy.

It's so refreshing to have a reality show that doesn't waste time on creating unnecessary friction between contestants or over-dramatize situations. I want to watch a make-up show and what I get is people doing makeup. So many shows feel the need to pin contestants against eachother to create entertainment and it's so tiring. These guys look like they legitimately support eachother and I love that! All that aside, I feel like the level of makeup could be elevated. This definitely felt like a first season, so I'm sure that the bar will be elevated in the seasons to come.

The premise of the show is great, the world of makeup art is very interesting and cool. The artists on this show are all interesting and I loved how it didnt focus on the drama like every reality show. However there are still a lot of problems with "Glow Up" The face off challenge is boring and dumb, how should a 5 minute competition of applying lipstick or something as minor as that determine who stays or goes home. This ruins the show as some people make it further than they should have and some dont make it as far as they should have. Also the final of the show didnt even feel like a great finale.

... I had to check if this was the same show I was watching. Yes the dingdong can be quite annoying, but I found the judges to be really authentic and genuine and the candidates incredibly talented. I absolutely didn't agree with one of the finalists, like other reviewers pointed out very eloquently. But... I binge watched the show with great pleasure in one sitting. And I was very happy after all with the ending. I dont want to give out any spoilers, but all I want to say is give this show a chance.

I like this show because they have cut out all the cattiness and infighting that are usually prominent in an American makeup competition. It's also neat that the briefs are not restricted to editorial and runway. This has been a binge-watch for me. I hope there's a Season 2.
