How to play Glow Up
Pick a face and a mode: Makeover for a score, or Studio to play freely.
Skincare: choose a tool and rub it over a flaw on the face. The meter shows how much is fixed, and each flaw ticks off when it is gone.
Use the right tool for each flaw. The wrong one barely does anything, and a hint names the tool to try instead. Lather shaving foam before the razor and it works much faster.
Makeup: pick a product and a colour and brush it on. Rubbing longer lays on more colour; the brush size, undo and the remover pad fix mistakes.
Extras: add false lashes, face gems, glasses, earrings or headwear, then reveal the before and after.
Which tool fixes which flaw
- Razor and shaving foam For stubble. Foam first makes every stroke of the razor count several times more.
- Tweezers Plucks messy brow hairs and nose hair, a few at a time with a small tip.
- Pimple patch, primer, blotting paper Patches for pimples, primer for big pores and blotting paper for oily shine.
- Eye cream, toner, moisturiser, lip balm Eye cream for dark circles, toner for redness, moisturiser for patchy skin and balm for dry lips. Cleanser washes out blackheads, and concealer covers a little of several flaws.
How the judge scores
- Flaws fixed: 40 points Every flaw counts, weighted by how much it shows.
- Even skin: 15 points Fixed redness and blotches, plus an even foundation in the shade that matches the skin.
- Placement: 30 points Blush on the cheeks, lipstick inside the lips, shadow on the lids, and nothing piled on too thick.
- Colour harmony: 15 points Colours from one family go together; mixing warm, cool and bold shades clashes.
