The MUAs enter the world of special effects for BBC’s iconic sci-fi show Doctor Who. Assisting the show’s prosthetic designer, Danny Marie Elias, the MUAs must create alien characters based around the Doctor’s recent nemeses Swarm and Azure.

Danny Marie wants to test the MUAs' prosthetics skills, so after a short demonstration, the MUAs must apply three prosthetic pieces to a model, ensuring it looks vibrant, bold, and intricately detailed. To impress Danny Marie, the prosthetics must have flawless application and perfect blending, creating an authentic-looking alien. The MUA who stands out wins the chance to join Danny Marie on set for a day, whereas those that fail to deliver run the risk of starting the Creative Brief in the red Face Off chairs.
