Episode 1

The theme of the first episode is fashion. The ten make-up artists enter the challenge floor for the first time and get familiar with their new kits and the beauty bar. They are then introduced to presenter Maura Higgins and judges Cathyanne McAllister and Emma O'Byrne. The first guest judge is Colin Horgan, one of Ireland's top fashion designers.

The MUAs will have to create a make-up look to go with their assigned outfit from Colin's new spring collection. This week's creative challenge is Uniquely You. The MUAs need to create a look that makes them standout.
