The competition really puts MUAs through their paces and simulates the experience of a movie or TV set with the timings and conditions of an authentic make-up call replicated. Contestants are required to design and make-up a battle hardened military or naval character from the time of the Napoleonic Wars. The background to the era allows for creativity in the design and execution of the look, and costume is a key element to the finished effect.
The look will be created in two phases with 60 minutes allotted for the make-up and 40 minutes for the hair. Key elements must include character make-up; stretch and stipple ageing; a prosthetic piece; wounds, burns or bruising; hand laid hair; full pastiche moustache or beard on lace; tattoos; old scars; ill health and ethnicity change. The hair is to be styled or a wig applied within the allotted time.
