9 aspiring MUAs are thrown into their first round of competition. While some will rise to the occasion, it is clear that others are out of their depth.
The MUAs use music to express their personalities. Emma struggles to adjust, as guest judge Annabel Liddell sets them a morbid task.
The devil is in the details, as the MUAs tackle a complicated lip art brief. Lochie Stonehouse's avant-garde challenge catches out one of MUAs, who is unable to follow the brief!
Emotions run high as the MUAs are tasked with facing their biggest fears, and one MUA must walk away.
The MUAs celebrate each other in a brief designed to show what makes them proud. Then, they are all thrown by their first real-world industry brief featuring Project Runway NZ winner Benjamin Alexander.
