My training at Brushstroke Makeup and Hair academy has provided me with a 2 year Btec, Level 3 Diploma in production arts as well as extensive knowledge of the Film, TV and theatre industry.  My skill set includes;  Wig knotting, wig setting, wig styling and application, bald cap and partial bald cap application, sculpting and creating my own moulds for gelatin pieces, pro-bondo application; as well as period, theatre, fashion/editorial and bridal hair and makeup styles.  Throughout my training, I have applied my skills as a hair and makeup artist in a few work experience opportunities including a short horror film earlier this year.  I worked closely with the Director to establish designs for the makeup as well directly applying all elements of the makeup using a wide variety of products.  In addition, I also restyle wigs and provide makeup application for a company that hosts princess party bookings - my role is to wash and restyle wigs after the performer has returned them, as well as applying the performers' makeup where required.  I have also recently had a great opportunity to work with a photographer for a sci-fi themed look, which enabled me to specifically showcase my special effects makeup abilities whilst building my portfolio.  I have provided some shots from the short film below.
