We just had an exclusive chat with X Factor makeup artist Jackie Tyson and in addition to getting the inside scoop on all the backstage drama - tension is high now it's getting close to the final - we got the low down on how she has transformed Dagenham Stace' into a real Pop Princess.
As of last week there are two songs each so that means two looks for Stacey. The stylists scour London for the right outfits while I make sure Stacey's skin looks perfect. I have Vita Liberata coming in to spray tan her on Friday and I'll give her a mini facial using Karin Herzog products on Saturday morning. I like to keep her skin dewy and young looking but this week I'm going to shake it up a bit and give her a strong lip colour for one song, once I've seen the dresses I'll work out which colours will match. There will be a little sparkle on the eyes as we are now officially nearing Christmas and there will be big lashes too! I like to warm up Stacey's cheeks with a shimmering coral blush, try MAC Powder Blush in Style, £16. She's going to look gorgeous!'

That's as much as we're allowed to tell you for now but check back with us Monday morning when we will be bringing you the low down on how to create the weekend's looks straight from the X Factor Makeup Room!
