Hi Petar
I hope this email finds you well? I just wanted to drop you an email to let you know what I’ve been up to lately as it’s been a little while since we have spoken. I’ve recently just finished as the crowd hair and makeup supervisor for “Bridgerton”, a new period drama for Netflix which I’ve been on since May last year. I absolutely loved it and the challenges it brought. I’m definitely looking to do more crowd supervising or supervising on large scale productions like this.
Earlier in the year last year I was an Assistant Designer for a film also, which I enjoyed so much. It made me realise that I definitely aspire to design in the future. Read More

Working on Cruella with Nadia Stacey and the rest of the team was a dream job for me. It drew upon my background in fashion whilst also putting in to practice many of the skills I learned and honed during my time at CBMA.
I had never imagined that my second job after leaving would be something as large as a Disney production but every day was an opportunity to learn and practise and I loved every minute!

Hi, my name is Lisa and I graduated from Christine Blundell Makeup Academy in December 2018.
I live in a little village in the middle of nowhere in Nottinghamshire, I have two girls, horses, dogs and cats! Certainly a far cry from the London lifestyle. I began my career many years ago working mainly in customer relations and also studying and practising holistic therapies.
I have never really felt satisfied in my career choices but could not put my finger on exactly what I wanted to do, I’ve always had a love for make up which has intensified as I’ve got older and had to adapt to my skin changes. I’ve also enjoyed hair for many years which started with plating my pony when I was young to doing my daughter’s hair. Read More

FAQs
Which makeup course should I choose?
This all depends on what field you wish to work in. If it is bridal and beauty makeup, it is best to search specifically for these Make up courses. If it is Film , Television or Theatre Makeup then Christine Blundell Academy Makeup courses are for you, with over 100 five star reviews by our graduates, leading UK tutors , guaranteed paid work experience for graduates eligible to work in UK and an Award winning Principal.
What is a Basic Make up course?
With any new skill you want to acquire, it is always good to start from the beginning. Learning the foundations of makeup, like colour theory, skin types and face shapes are a must.
Is it worth doing a Makeup Course?
Absolutely it is! There are many roles a trained Makeup artist can do and without hands-on practice in a Makeup School environment instead of doing online courses, it would be nigh on impossible to master all these skills properly.
