ALLISON EDWARDS
To whom this may concern
I have been working as a Make-up Designer in the Beauty, Television, Film, Music & Fashion industries since 1983 to the present date, and my passion for this creative world continues and is ever growing and evolving.
I am an extremely inspired, driven, professional, and passionate about my craft, with a great attention to detail and looking to work with a company with the same ethos and values.
At present, as in the past, i am mentoring other budding Make-up artists, which has led many to develop personal and successful careers. I believe it’s vital to encourage and pass on the skills which i have crafted over my career
I have lead teams with a professional demeanour and inject a sense of achievement and pride into the work at hand.
I am a highly skilled organiser and planner, and have utilised these skills in conducting successful master classes, to the general public, and up and coming artists who have a desire to enter into this exciting industry.
I work with both hair and make-up, and am also experienced, in using the airbrush technique. I can also do special fx.
Specialising in character makeup, fashion beauty, and People of Colour. My experience has led me from one amazing production to another, working both here in the UK, as well as Spain, South Africa, Jamaica & USA.
I also possess a show reel, a copy of which I am happy to send to you via email upon request, or alternatively can also be viewed via the link below

Yours Sincerely.
