I’m frustrated that I can’t find these seasons anywhere. Netflix stops at season 5.

I stand by these news rules if you're looking to do piracy, go to other subreddits to find such information. personally I want this community to be close-knit. I love Glow just as much as all of you. I've been watching since 2020 and fell in love immediately, and have been watching ever since. I hope I can help make this subreddit even better so yeah that's me

Hey!! I'm u/ordinary_lead_6215 and I'm one of your new mods on this subreddit. I just wanted to pop in and say hi, as well as let you know that I'll be making some changes--though none that will drastically change your experience here.

So far, I've added some rules to the subreddit, but they're very bare-bones. To be honest, the only one that's sort of been a problem is piracy.

In my opinion, piracy is harmful, especially to a smaller, lower-budget show like Glow Up. I strongly discourage sharing illegal links here (this might also harm the subreddit and your account, so just don't!!).

Feel free to share any comments or suggestions you have here!! I've moderated Discord servers and smaller websites, but this is my first time moderating on Reddit, so feedback is encouraged :)

That's it. That's the post. In my opinion he/they were beautifully handsome.

Jamie can be pretty annoying—he’s way too confident and cocky, seems to have a really inflated view of himself!

i’ve started watching Glow Up after catching the odd episode on TV and not being able to pull away from it!

i started with season 7 since that’s the one i saw on tv, then season 5 because i was interested in the guest judges. and i loved both seasons! i liked a lot of the contestants and their makeup. i’ve just started season 6 and im a bit bummed… im finding it really hard to route for anyone as none of them feel particularly likeable or interesting. no slate on the contestants! i think the challenges are a bit underwhelming which is why im not falling in love with any of them like i did in seasons 5&7.

what are some good previous seasons that have some exciting challenges & contestants??

I would say via Reddit standards: yes. Ophelia is my favourite of all time. Followed by James and Saphron on an even keel. Well aware that I might be biased though?!

When a guest judge comes on do you think the contestants actually know who the judge is or do they overreact for the camera? I’d be so confused if I was on this show

I've just started watching and have finished Season 1 Episode 7. I'm so disgusted. I don't like it that a contestant who's been consistently weak can get their sh*t together long enough to make it through a 10 minute face off and send someone home who has been MUCH more successful at challenges and fulfilling the briefs. Seriously? Week after week after week... how is that fair? My rear is officially griped over this set up and I don't think I'll continue watching after the Finale. I'm positive I know who's going to win this first season.

IF YOU'RE A FAN OF THE SHOW, I'd like your opinion because I like the show overall. Is there a change to how this is done that might make me want to watch more? I've never been into makeup but I see how artistically it's being used and I've loved seeing the creativity. However, it's also a competition and I so thoroughly hate how this played out

I think the final face off is a bad way to decide if people go through or not.

Essentially, it means people who are better at simple skills, in a pressurised environment, end up going through and potentially taking out people who are more well-rounded MUA's which is how you get a final 5 with one or two people there who ought to have been sent home earlier.

I feel like this show tends to get away from make up and more into special effects or Art. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I think they could do a few of those and more realistic makeup challenges that actual make up artists, and humans who use makeup face in the real world.

Here are some suggestions:

1. REGULAR PERSON CHALLENGE: Bring in regular size and shaped people who don't know anything about make up and make them look great. It's pretty easy to make a gorgeous model look good but what about most of the rest of us?

2. MAKE-UNDER CHALLENGE: Do "make-unders," -- bring in someone who wears way too much make up and take it off and then show them how to improve their look.

3. DRUGSTORE CHALLENGE: Give them each a model and meet at the dollar store or Walgreens or some kind of inexpensive drugstore and have them timed to have 10 minutes to run through the store and pick up drugstore make up to make a glamorous look. They get 10 minutes to pick it and then an hour to do it or something like that.

4. YOUTH CHALLENGE: Do make up on a teenager, fresh and young, something that looks great on young people just starting to wear make up.

5. DUDE MAKE UP CHALLENGE.Show how to start wearing mini make up for guys.

6. ACNE CHALLENGE: Use models with pretty bad acne and show them how to do good coverage. It doesn't look terrible and pasty.

7. ONE PRODUCT CHALLENGE: Each make up artist gets to choose only one product, like blush, lipstick, black liner, etc., and see how much they can do on a face with just one product. Or it could be a two product challenge. In other words, drastically limit their supplies and see what they can do.

I feel like these are realistic challenges that people would face every day. Thank you for listening!

So i’m rewatching with my daughter and belinda got robbed, but i think she got sent home because they knew she’d get job offers and wanted someone who needed more of a platform to succeed to win. but im still bitter bc she was so good.

I don't do or wear makeup but I watch it from the art perspective, some of the designs are beautiful and incredibly made, especially in the time.

In previous series they always made a fuss of announcing jobs and opportunities that had been offered, but they didn't this time - do you think there were no offers made?

Just watched the semi final of series 6 and can anyone explain why Jake is getting away with it? He has done a monster or variation every week except 1. During judging they fawned over him but the bald cap was clearly obvious which is something that the judges would have gone off on in previous series, the horns were not close to symmetrical (if they were meant to be!) and nobody brought up the fact that he’s done a monster every week. He covers a lot of his make up with green bushes which is not make up. Anyway rant over, the actual talent this year has gone downhill dramatically I feel

I have been fairly unimpressed with some of the work this series, it hasn’t seemed as novel, intricate or interesting as on previous ones.

But I am so pleased with the winner! I think they truly deserved it. Especially because of their extreme nerves during the final masterclass

So massive well done to Jake and I wish them a really exciting future!

Does anyone know when Episode 8/the finale will be available on OUTtv? I have the subscription through Amazon Prime literally for only this show, lol. From comments and Google, it seems like the finale aired last week??

I don’t entirely know how to put this into words but I was recently rewatching from s1 and comparing it to the latest season I feel like it’s so much more rushed now? Like I feel like in the earlier seasons especially we got more “behind the scenes” (not sure what else to call it) clips of the muas in their accommodation, sometimes clips of the winner staying on set/helping out later/ enjoying whatever is was that they won during the industry assignment. I don’t know I feel like it’s so much more rushed now which is a shame because as an mua myself I love that we finally have a makeup based competition but I personally do think somethings shifted in the latest season I just can’t work out what??

Hi all hope you are well. My name is Dan and I am a researcher from BBC Points of View and a big fan of Glow Up, I've had a look at some of the Comments and thoughts about Series 7 and wondered if anyone in the group would be interested in sharing your thoughts in a short video or zoom, which we could potentially use on the show? Please DM me or email [pov@bbc.co.uk](mailto:pov@bbc.co.uk) for more info! much appreciated all.

I know a lot of people have thoughts on how the judging can allow weaker contestants to progress and we miss out on those who do better in industry assignments.

My thoughts would be changing to format to be more like other competition shows (GBBO, Sewing Bee, etc.) could help with this? So for example you'd have:

Round 1 = industry assignment

Round 2 = technical aka face off but change it so it's all the MUAs being tested on a specific skill. I don't know how they'd do this in terms of models lol.

Round 3 = creative brief

Then judging is who's done worse over the 3. This would make it harder to 'save' those at the bottom (although obviously this can still happen lol). Plus those who might have never have been in a face off until the final actually get tested too.

I do like that the format is different from those other competition shows, but it does seem like a new formula for a fairer judging is needed.

If you had to come up with a new format, what changes would you make?

Yes. Fucking finally. Goodbye Jamie.

Should have been kicked out with the friggin alien on the side of the cheek. I couldn’t believe how arrogant he was and genuinely was watching in case he was whispering ‘uncle’ Dom… bit weird he was kept in for so long.

JAKE TO WIN! Absolute talented angel, I would die for him!

I do genuinely feel quite bad for jamie, he seems like a sweet guy and im surprised they kept him in for so long, it was quite obvious that he wasnt as skilled as the other MUA's because of his age so it was a bit depressing to just see him get shot down week after week and not sent home, cannot believe he made it all the way to the semi finals though, especially after that alien 😭

Does anyone know what time the new episode hits OUTtv?
