Living up to its name, ‘Glow Up,’ alternately titled ‘Glow Up: Britain’s Next Make-Up Star,’ is a competition show that brings together various up-and-coming young makeup artists who compete against one another in order to make a name for themselves and most of all, win the opportunity to work as assistant to the greatest artists in the makeup industry. The contestants indulge in a variety of challenges that test their level of creativity, hard work, and quick thinking, in order to impress industry professionals Dominic Skinner and Val Garland and the weekly guest stars.
In the fifth iteration, the show introduced us to ten new talented aspiring makeup artists who are tasked with several new challenges, including creating makeup looks inspired by the characters from ‘Bridgerton.’ As they take the competition by storm, the judges have a task at hand of eliminating new contestants in each episode. Since the show’s fifth round is lensed mostly indoors, just like the previous seasons, it has got several viewers wondering where ‘Glow Up’ season 5 was taped.
Glow Up Season 5, the Show Was Shot in England
‘Glow Up’ season 5 was filmed in England, particularly in Greater London and other sites across England. Given the fact that it is a BBC show, it should not be much of a surprise that it has been filmed and produced in the United Kingdom.

Greater London, England
Almost all the pivotal sequences for ‘Glow Up’ season 5 were lensed in Greater London, which is a ceremonial county bordered by England’s Hertfordshire to the north.
