Who is Glow Up season 3’s winner
The winner of Glow Up season 3 was Sophie Baverstock.

More about makeup star Sophie
Sophie, who gained a sizable following on social media post her reality show appearance, is a recent graduate from Arts University Bournemouth, having graduated with a first-class degree in makeup for media and performance.
Time and time again, the BBC star impressed the judges with her use of prosthetics and special effects for creating her other-worldly makeup looks.
Speaking about her makeup style, Sophie has said: “My aim was to create makeup which was editorial but [also] a proper transformation into a character.”
Judge Val, who is the L’Oreal Paris’ global makeup director said: “All of her ideas, they felt very modern.” Praising the Glow Up 2021 winner further, the professional artist said: “She was able to jump into a lot of different scenarios and her creative mind was off the scale.”
Sophie, who often shows off her makeup looks on social media, has over 481,000 followers on her Instagram. Her TikTok following is growing each day, with currently over 181,000 fans.
Sophie from Glow Up season 3 is on the autism spectrum
What makes Sophie’s win even more inspiring for many is that she is on the autism spectrum.
The Glow Up season 3 winner, who grew up in Suffolk, has opened up on the show about being diagnosed with autism at 17.
Speaking about her diagnosis, she said: “I always knew something was there. I always felt weird. I just didn’t make much sense.”
As a young kid, Sophie struggled with academic subjects in school. But at home, she’d indulge her love of horror and science-fiction movies.
At a young age, the makeup artist began teaching herself some makeup skills.
