Specialist Make up Lecturer

• Nov 2017 - Dec 2017

Provided 6 weeks cover as Make up Lecturer. Taught historical make up and fashion looks. Casualty make up. I enjoyed working here. Due to strict Health and Safety Insurance I was restricted in what I could teach; as I know prosthetics, I was not able within the course to extend the repertoire of skills. I took a post next in which I could teach casting and mould making. Provided 6 weeks cover as Make up Lecturer. Taught historical make up and fashion looks. Casualty make up. I enjoyed working here.
