Surprised my wife by actually liking it, the contestants are what make it.
The awful Dooley, who has the presenting skills of an ant, seems totally a waste, all she says is 'guys' every 30 seconds, how she gets paid as the BBC golden girl is beyond me.
The awful glasses on the judge, provide visual amusement each time she is on.
I felt an empathy building with the artists, they seem to be genuinely keen to make it and have a passion for it, there was some stunning looking work in the series. Def worth a watch, even if like me you have never wielded a make up brush in your life.

I really like the show. However, the judges Dominic and Val are rude to the contestants and each other. If I hear " Ding Dong" one more time I think my head will explode.
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.
This could be a good show, but the judging is questionable. Not the judges, just the methods. In the first season, an individual who underperformed consistently for several weeks in a row ended up finishing in the top two because of the way the judging is done. It was only the law of averages that earned her that spot, not her performance or ability. The judging was inconsistent and in some cases, it seemed as though the judges were merely"playing favorites". Like I said, the show has potential to be really good if the elimination part was a little more consistent and fine-tuned. For the record, I believe that the absolute right person won without a doubt. He was certainly the most talented MUA, and I sincerely hope he has a long and successful career in the industry.
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.
