Hi, Firstly, thanks for taking the time to look at my portfolio :-)

PLEASE ALSO CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE www.secondskinmua.co.uk and feel free to add me to your facebook. You will find me under Secondskin Mua

I am a fully qualified / fully insured MUA.
Also In house MUA for Photo Nottingham Studios

Creative, resourceful and flexible. My Portfolio offers years of experience in various aspects of makeup to include Photographic, Media, Special fx and bodypainting. Offering Clients the service of an experienced make-up artist who has worked alongside many Uk photographers. Delivering a quality service.

My passion and dedication is demonstrated throughout my Portfolio and quality of work. I am hard working, approachable, friendly but professional and put 100% into everything I do. I am happy to work from a brief or give input when needed/wanted. I take my work seriously but love working with people who like to have fun too. Im not a Diva Mua..I dont mind getting my hands dirty all in the name of art and doing what it takes to get that brilliant shot.

I specialise in....

Special fx / Horror gore
Bodypainting
Theatrical Make up

but also very experienced in......

Photographic
Glamour
Beauty


Character creation is my ultimate passion. Bringing together a mixture of costume, bodypainting and prosthetics to create dark, scary, theatrical or fantasy pieces. I am very interested in strange, gothic, alternative or deathly art, anything that is a little different.


Considering a body paint??

I only use good quality professional paints that are EEC approved and are safe for cosmetic usage. The paints are water based. Equipment/material used: Air brush, brushes (artificial hair ie nylon), sponges, tissue roll, wet wipes, fresh water, non-toxic face paints, non-toxic glitters. Sometimes I will use latex so a latex allergy test is recommended for this type of shoot. I recommend that you do not use any tanning creams/lotions or spray tans in the couple of weeks running up to a bodypaint as sometimes it can react with the paint. Also its recommended that you exfoliate as this gives a smoother finish.

Please do not approach me asking for TF for beauty/glamour shoots as I only agree to TF if the shoot is something extra special or exciting. I am not a hobbyist.

I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHARGE A CANCELLATION FEE FOR LATE CANCELATION OF BOOKINGS FOR BODYPAINTING DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF BACKGROUND WORK PUT IN FOR EVERY SHOOT
