About me

Arabella is a special effects & prosthetics make-up artist with 13 years experience in the film & TV industry.

Arabella graduated with a degree in Fine Art from London Guildhall University in 2003 & following that, went on to study make-up at City & Islington College & the London School of Media Make-Up. She learnt further make-up skills from Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire & Titantic Creative Education in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Now located in Mersea Island, near Colchester, Essex, Arabella enjoys designing & creating prosthetics.

Arabella has designed & made bespoke make-up, prosthetics, prosthetic appliances, props, special effects & done life casting for niche metal music videos & worked as a promoter within the music industry for Nuclear Blast Records & Sound Publicity.

After a series of repeat clients, Arabella gained a project for a major metal record label Century Media Records for a music video for Belgian Death Metal band Aborted, which Wikipedia describes as, “grown into the role of key contributors to the "brutal death metal" genre". Arabella also designed & made prosthetics for Marci Phonix, one of the early pioneers of the grime genre & did make-up for BBC2, the Naked Choir with Gareth Malone.

Arabella also did make-up for music vidoes for electronic band Angelspit, BTK & Belgian D J Davoodi, for Crunk'D Records.

Arabella did special effects make-up & face & body painting for various music festivals & live gigs, including Terrorizer: Road to Perdition at Electrowerkz, London & Reading Festival & Arabella was interviewed by Metal Hammer music magazine.

Cinema career highlights include working as a prosthetics department trainee on "Edge of Tomorrow", featuring Tom Cruise & Emily Blunt, featured in cinemas worldwide & doing special effects make-up for "The Wild", film screened at Curzon cinema in Colchester.

Arabella did make-up for a BAFTA nominated BBC children's television production. Arabella's zombie make-ups included zombies for Sony Pictures Television, Deutsche Bank & the V & A Museum.
