About me
My passion for working in makeup has only expanded over the past 11 years. Working on three feature and six short films has allowed me to gain a good understanding of the principles, practices and roles for makeup in television and film production. I have also developed skills such as time management, speed and precision having worked backstage at live televised award ceremonies such as the TV Bafta Awards, The Oliviers and on commercials.I am naturally resilient, which has served me well working at high pressure fashion shows at London and Paris Fashion weeks where early call times, high stress and long hours are the norm. My experience working with the top fashion makeup artists in the world such as Alex Box, Lucia Pieroni and Val Garland has ensured I can keep to a strict schedule and kept me passionate about the medium of makeup. I have the ability to interpret a Makeup Designer's instructions. For example, while working at high profile shows such as Giles, Vivienne Westwood, Craig Green and Moschino, I had to replicate the designed looks precisely as demonstrated by the key makeup artist. The makeup is meticulous, detailed and the correct procedure and health and safety must be adhered to. I am comfortable working to such strict demands having carried out makeup over 11 seasons at numerous shows. I have learnt to work quickly and effectively, and what products help you to create a perfect look in very limited time and in sometimes challenging surroundings. I understand how to organise a set bag so you can work from it. I transferred these skills when working on short films where the importance of having the talent ready for their call time was imperative.
My experience has allowed me to learn different techniques and applications of makeup. Working on the Bollywood feature film “Shareek” educated me to the importance of monitoring and ensuring continuity is perfect. There were long periods where the crew would film in Indian and I had to ensure facial hair and hair cutting was perfect on their return to UK filming. I have worked with wigs and had to design and style hair pieces on the short films “Sarah Chong is going to kill herself`’ and ‘Bad Acid’. I have experience of basic prosthetics from attending a course run by Neill Gordon and applying them in a music video “King” by Eden Roxxs and the feature film Cream. I have also designed looks for the Donmar theatre.
My CV illustrates I can build and maintain working relationships. I have had the honour of working with a number of makeup artists repeatedly, including Sam Bryant, Val Garland and crew members on all my films. I ensure people will work with me again by being reliable, punctual and polite at all times. Being Welsh, working in Wales would be a dream come true. My personal hobbies of body pump, body balance and power yoga ensure that I have the physical level of stamina and dexterity needed for this role. I have a full, clean driving licence and my own vehicle.
