Leeds University meeting

 Leeds University meeting:

During the meeting we had with Leeds University over teams, she discussed with us information about the extra courses we could take, alongside the makeup course, such as the short courses specialising in hair which would run through the holidays and are delivered by industry experts. These courses are:

  • Ladies hairdressing

  • Barbering

  • Colouring

  • Hair up courses

The two different semesters of the course (for both level four and level five) were discussed:

  • Semester one, level four modules include: special effects makeup, historical influences in hair and makeup and professional development.

  • Semester two, level four modules include: principles of flat mould appliances and creative hair and makeup design 1 and 2.

  • Semester one, level 5 modules include: 2D and 3D body art, prosthetics and casting and creative postiche.

  • Semester two, level five modules include: work related learning and managing the creation of a showcase.

They also mentioned the opportunities and industry links they offer to the students at the University, such as:

  • Prime Studios

  • National Youth Theatre group

  • Leeds Beckett Film School

  • Urban Decay Masterclasses

  • Opera North

Another topic discussed during the meeting was progression opportunities, these would include:

  • Honours Degree

  • Freelance makeup artist

  • Running your own business

  • Fashion and retail management

  • Wig/prosthetic specialist

We were then shown some of the university students’ work that is shown on their Instagram:


For me, the meeting was a real eye opener to the opportunities I have ahead of me. However, I’m still unsure as to whether or not I want to go to Leeds University as for now I would prefer to keep my options open. What I do know, on the other hand, is that I would like to specialise in special effects as I find it to be more interesting, for me, personally, and more enjoyable to create different designs for such things.

LSOH meeting 12:

  LSOH meeting 12: 19/05/2021 The day before the production. To start off this meeting, we began by checking through the production folder together to make sure we had everything we needed in there, including face charts, makeup designs, actors headshots and skin consultation sheets. It was important we had all of this in there as it was important we knew what makeup we were doing, how we would be applying it to the actors face and which products we needed to check for and organise. This showed good organisation skills as we were checking beforehand to make sure we had everything ready for the production nights. We then took some time to work in the LRC to polish up our blogs for a little while and add in anything we may have missed; this could include: adding in any missing images and any information on what we had discussed/decided on during previous meetings. It is important to keep track of all of this as it helps us keep track of what we have all worked on throughout the produ...

LSOH production days:

LSOH production: The LSOH production was held at Teesside University, The Hub. Day 1: 20/05/2021 Those who attended: Kassie Emily Leah Isobel Stephen Paige Myself Eleanor Francesca Charlotte On the first day of the production, everyone showed up on time at around 11am. Paige and I showed up at around 9:30 to give us enough time to find the location of the venue and take a short break before we went back to set up. This shows good time management skills, teamwork and good communication skills as we both organised a suitable time for us to meet up and worked together to find the venue beforehand using Google Maps.  Once we had all arrived at The Hub, we took a look around the room we will be working in, as well as the room the production will be held in. This was important as we were able to find the best light sources suitable for applying the makeup under/in front of as well as how the tables were arranged and how we could set up on them. This included: where the actor will sit, wh...

Catwalk makeup evaluation

  Catwalk makeup evaluation: What I like about this look is the eye makeup. The blue watercolour smudges help to show off the eye shape alongside the white eyeliner. I also like the eye makeup as the colours compliment each other. Another aspect of this makeup I like would be the shape of the contour on the cheeks as well as how the contour on the nose has been blended. Another point to make about the makeup is that the base makeup and eye makeup would work well for the catwalk as it would stand out on camera as well as under the lighting. However, for the contour on the cheeks, I think the triangles should be bigger to help it stand out more. I also should've used false eyelashes to help them stand out more, and colour them by applying a white base colour first and then colouring them lilac as they don't show up on camera.
