The finale has arrived and only three of the ten MUAs remain. Who will scoop the title of the first ever winner of Glow Up Ireland? 

With only one day’s preparation, the final trio must present a masterclass on a make up style they feel represents them to Irish industry heavyweights from around the world. The guest judges for the finale include Samantha Barry – Cork born New York based Glamour Editor-in Chief,  Maria Malone Guerrba – Limerick born Essex based Illusion make up artist, Aidan Keogh – Dublin born New York based celebrity make up artist whose clients include Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber and Keilidh MUA who is returning to Glow Up Ireland to see how much the finalists have grown over the series.

For the creative brief the theme is “My Pinch Me Moment”. When Maura was revealed as presenter of Glow Up Ireland, she described the role as a “pinch me moment’ and for the finalists, this challenge could prove to be the biggest ever turning point in their own lives. The brief they are given is: Are you making the most of this moment? Drawing on inspiration from a pivotal moment in your own life, this look should demonstrate to us who you are as an artist and what you’ve learned throughout the competition. 

After seven intense and emotional weeks, it’s down to the final three to wow the judges and be crowned the first ever winner of Glow Up Ireland, who will have the talent, creativity and confidence to go all the way?
