Hair and Theatrical Make-Up Zodiac Competition

Our Theatrical, Special Effects & Media Make-Up Level 3 and Hairdressing Level 3 students joined forces for an exciting Christmas competition!

The event was Zodiac themed, so the students took inspiration from a different star sign, and prepared their ideas with mood boards. For the Theatrical students, this work was also assessed and included a visit from an employer. Former student Sabrina, who is currently working in the make-up industry and as a Technician with our Theatrical Make-Up team, was invited to judge the students' work. She joined tutors Hannah and Karen, who teach across our Theatrical, Media & Special Effects Make-Up courses, both Full-time and University Level.
