COLLEGE EXPERIENCE!!

When starting West College Scotland it seemed huge and with so many people in it. I expected to learn how to do theatrical make-up and Special effects make-up and these were the things I looked forward to the most especially using liquid latex and wigs which I have used here;




The most interesting thing I have learned to do so far could possibly be working with wax and all the different types of bloods;


but the bruising comes in a close second;


I thinks it's quite obvious by now that my idol is Ve Neill. She worked on loads of films and has won loads of awards but my other favourite make-up artist is Beau Nelson. He does fantastic beauty make-up and works on people such as Marcia Cross, Amanda Bynes and Kristen Stewart (who just happens to be my favourite actress);


I want to be a make-up artist because I just love make-up. Although I do love beauty and fashion make-up, I think that special effects make-up is definitely my calling.

SCREENFACE (review)

NASMAH is an organisation set up to encourage media makeup artistry and has links to many makeup companies across the word including Screenface. Screenface is a make-up site that also has two shops, one in Notting Hill and one in Covent Garden. If you love sfx make-up this place is basically heaven on the web!

Screenface Store (Covent garden, London)

They sell products to people in the UK from companies such as; RCMA, Fardel & Visora, Stockists of Kryolan etc. of which you would not find in superdrug. These products include all types of make-up but also tools, learning resources and fancy dress for all your aesthetic needs *Typical cheesy American ad voiceover*. Their products have been tried and tested by professionals, featured in films such as Indiana Jones, Apocolypto and Harry Potter but also in the westend production of The Lion King, which automatically gains my approval.

This website also offers services such as; an airbrush makeover, a fancy dress makeover, eyelash applications, basic SFX, face art design and bridal work etc. The prices of these services all depend on the intricacy of the design. 

They have offers of the week, which is where they take the prices down on some products and put them on sale for a week which gives you an excellent opportunity to buy the more expensive products or even more of the products you would usually buy as they are at a cheaper price. 
Offers of the week page on the screenface website.

If you are looking for information on how to be a make-up artist, discount in the store/website or how you can work for this company, this website can tell you the lot as it did me. Therefore I find this site extremely useful and urge you to go check it out at www.screenface.co.uk
