Glow Up
Ding dong, a new batch of MUAs are here! The British reality show sensation Glow Up is back for Season 3, and we are ready for it. We also hope Trixie and Katya are ready for it too. Honestly, Netflix, just give us the option to hear a Trixie and Katya commentary track on each episode. It’s what your viewers want.
Anyway. Whether or not Season 3 of Glow Up has a Drag Race connection like the previous two is still TBD for those of us who can’t watch this BBC show when it premieres across the pond. No matter what, though, we know that this series always delivers colorful characters, underdog make-up artists that we love rooting for, and—duh—the iconic Val Garland and Dominic Skinner(‘s mustache). We love to see all of them!
If you want to see more of each and every one of Season 3’s MUAs, this is the list for you. Below you’ll find the Instagram handles for all 10 MUAs. And if you want to follow the new Glow Up host Maya Jama, you can find her on Insta too. What are you waiting for? Get to streaming and get to following!
Alex
Hailing from Liverpool, Alex is a stylist and hairdresser who’s now trying her hand at makeup—and doing a solid enough job at it to land on Britain’s top makeup competition series. We love to see a triple threat.

Craig
Craig has come a long way from the repressed Irish boy he used to be. Where once he was afraid to try makeup, he now works as a professional MUA and hair stylist who’s brought beauty to faces internationally.

Dolli already works as a beauty broadcaster for British department store Selfridges, and now she’s ready to elevate her own brand with her bold, shimmering makeup style.

Jack
Jack’s makeup career has had to take a back seat over the past year, as their day job as a care worker intensified due to the pandemic. After a year of providing for others, Jack’s ready to paint faces and stand out in a crowd on Glow-Up.

Nic
Nic’s already on her way to making a name for herself in the beauty industry with her eco-friendly glitter brand Disco Dust London. But don’t let the sparkles fool you; Nic loves enhancing natural features with barely-there makeup.

Ryley
Ryley is the youngest MUA in the cast, which makes the fact that she’s already a makeup influencer on Instagram closing in on 800K followers. She also uses her makeup to highlight and celebrate her birthmark.

Samah
Samah loves to travel, but she’s most often found working a beauty counter. That’s fine, though, because Glow-Up is here to take her to the next level and let her show the world that Muslim women can be extra glam too.

Sophie
Sophie’s literally going to school for makeup artistry right now, so competing on Glow-Up is kind of an elaborate bid for extra credit. Based in London, Sophie loves to bring color and beauty to everyone who sits in her chair.

Xavi
Xavi’s made a name for himself with his words while writing for Buzzfeed, and now he’s hoping to grab attention with his ambitious—and sometimes spooky—makeup looks.
