Leomie Anderson Talks ... Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star

Published on: 2nd May, 2023

Leomie Anderson is a supermodel, the owner of fashion brand Lapp the Brand and now she's got a new gig as the host of BBC's reality competition Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star.

Taking over from her good friend Maya Jama, Leomie is the narrator and contestant mentor in season 5, of BBC's hunt for the next best MUA. With everything you could expect from a show like this, each episode sees impossible tasks, fierce looks, critical judges and a rollercoaster of emotions as we whittle away to the final winner.

We spoke to Leomie about her transition from supermodel to presenter, how she found the confidence to speak out against racism in the modelling world, and, her dream to be on the cover of Forbes!

Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star is available to watch on BBC3 and BBC iPlayer

Your Aunties Could Never

Your Aunties Could Never brings you entertaining no nonsense straight talk from women who aren't afraid to say all the things you wish you could say.

Aunty AK, Aunty Farrah, Aunty Nana, and Aunty Sade are four friends from the UK who have lived life and are well respected in business endeavours and amongst friends and family. Elevating them to Elite Auntie status.

The Aunties have a voice and are not fearful of being heard. Join them as they discuss topical news and politics, comment on popular culture and give advice all from an informed (mature) Black woman's perspective.

Think a daytime chat show but with seasoning, real talk & large amounts of Melanin Magic.
