The MUAs head to Elstree Studio鈥檚 Holby City and enter the world of special effects, before taking on a creative brief embodying their worst nightmare, fear or phobia.

The remaining MUAs head to Elstree Studios and enter the world of special effects as they step onto the set of 大象传媒鈥檚 Holby City, where they are met by the head of prosthetics and this week鈥檚 guest judge, Megan Thomas.

Megan wants to test the MUAs' prosthetics skills so after a short demonstration, she gives each MUA an extra from the television programme and a character brief to follow. The extras have been in a fight, and it is the MUAs' job to create realistic wounds, injuries and blood effects with flawless blending of prosthetic edges.

The pressure is heightened as the two MUAs that deliver the most convincing looks have their work televised and get the opportunity to see their actors film on set. While some MUAs impress, others struggle with the technical skills required and pay the price by starting the next day鈥檚 creative brief in the red face-off chairs.

This week鈥檚 creative brief is a horrifying one as the MUAs are asked to create a look that embodies their worst nightmare, fear or phobia. One MUA goes all out to wow the judges, attempting to use six prosthetics in their look inspired by a parasitic infestation. Another battles with a large prosthetic piece to help them convey their phobia of peacocks, whilst another MUA gets busy using tin foil and a glue gun to create a DIY eye piece.

As usual, the two MUAs who impress the least in the creative brief head into the face off elimination, where a missing rhinestone is the downfall for one MUA.
