what are your requirements?

The work of a Make-Up Artist begins well in advance of the client sitting in the make-up chair. Research, discussions, ideas, planning, test shoots, consultations - time is spent establishing exactly what is required so that once the client is in the chair, all the Artist's attention will focuses solely on the needs of that person. A skillful artist will render the whole experience one of calm and relaxation. Skills with the brush are certainly of paramount importance. But so too are good listening skills. Your anxieties may go well beyond the forthcoming event, but you will always find a sympathetic ear. So whether you are running lines for the next scene or a nervous bride-to-be, yours will only be the very best of experiences because at that moment you are the only person in the world that matters!

hair styling

Hair-styling and handling wigs is as major part of an artist's work in the UK. To be able to design and create a hair-style that is totally complimentary to the make-up, or barbering to achieve a period look are all important skills to have. And combined with the right costume, the picture is complete!

So, what exactly are your requirements?
