Hello, I am Jo and I am a 36 year old Film/Television Makeup Trainee, making me mature (most of the time!), creative and passionate. I have a full uk driving license, own transport, and willingness to travel. I bring drive, adaptability and a great work ethic to every job along with a keen eye for detail. I am perceptive when working with others, and I make a great tea or coffee when it’s needed! (A cuppa is the answer to everything!). I have the ability to use my own initiative and can work independently when required, and most of all I bring life experience.

My Hairdressing background has not only provided me with proficiency in hairstyling, but also strong communication and interpersonal skills. The Makeup and creative side of me has been nurtured through the study of Media Makeup, and Art and Design, which translates in the hair and makeup I produce. Studying Makeup to foundation degree level, has enabled me to learn the fundamental skills required of a Hair and Makeup Trainee, and prepare me further for industry. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty, and am raring to gain industry experience in any capacity, I just want to make the most of every opportunity.

I have hair and makeup experience in Television hair and makeup and have recently been promoted to third assistant Makeup Artist T Emmerdale. I have also been a crowd room daily on High-End Drama and contributed to student and independent film production, which in turn has provided a solid understanding of continuity and the requirements of a Makeup Trainee, along with a new found admiration for the whole production process. I also assisted on a Hartleys Jelly Advertisment Campaign, which was a fantastic experience. I bring enthusiasm to everything I do, and hope that with perseverance and hard work, I will be successful in a career I have worked towards for a long time. I look forward to meeting and learning from talented people along the way. I am just seeking the opportunity to showcase what I have to offer, and gain that all important industry experience.
