The MUAs get spooked on the set of Ghosts, trying to work in pairs to create plague victims. At Glow Up Studios, their special FX skills are tested with looks based on zodiac signs.

The eight remaining make-up artists (MUAs) face their toughest challenge yet! In this episode, the MUAs step onto the set of a spooky 91热爆 show, Ghosts, where they are tasked with creating special effects (FX) make-up that turns actors into deceased plague victims.

For the first time in the competition, the MUAs will work in pairs, testing their teamwork as well as their creativity. With the clock ticking down, tensions rise as they strive to impress this week鈥檚 guest judge, Ghosts hair and make-up designer, Natalie Pateman. With access to cutting-edge FX prosthetics and techniques, the MUAs must balance technical precision with artistic flair, as they strive to capture the essence of the plague victims, who have lived in the basement for years. From gory wounds to dirtying down, the MUAs push their boundaries to create realistic and jaw-dropping make-up that will transport the audience into the world of the paranormal. There is one MUA who has two industry assignment wins under her belt, so the others are keen to knock her off the top spot.

The following day, MUAs return to the Glow Up studios. And after yesterday鈥檚 dealings with the dead, they are now exploring the traits and characteristics they were born with by designing a special effects character that represents one of the zodiac signs. They are all striving to impress surprise guest judge, special FX MUA Vanessa Davis.

With their imaginations ignited, the MUAs draw on their own characteristics, producing awe-inspiring and out-of-this-world make-up that is both innovative and visually stunning, including upside down prosthetic ears as crab claws for an alien human, hybrid crab creature. And one MUA, known for poor timekeeping, has an ambitious look featuring 12 homemade prosthetics.

Following judging, two MUAs head into the Face-Off elimination, where, against the clock, they are asked to produce a symmetrical crystal embellishment design, and one packs up their kit and leaves the competition.
