About me
I am a qualified hair and makeup artist looking for trainee opportunities.I am based in the Bristol and Bath area but am willing to travel in the UK and abroad. I have a UK passport and full UK driving licence with my own transport.
I completed a course in makeup for TV and film at Bath Academy of Media Makeup, as a mature student, under the direction of Peter Swords King. During the course, I was trained in the latest techniques by industry professionals, in all aspects of makeup and hairstyling. With my previous extensive training and experience in beauty, I am also able to advise on skincare.
After graduating, I completed a work placement on a major feature film at Pinewood Studios as a daily hair and makeup trainee for crowd scenes. I have since been working freelance, gaining as much experience as I can in many different aspects of the industry, including film and theatre, to build on my skills.
I have always been amazed at the power of makeup and hair to totally transform a look or simply enhance natural beauty and coming from an artistic background, I enjoy expressing my creativity as a hair and makeup artist.
