As if an Award winning teacher is not enough! MAKUP is now producing Award winning students.

Jessica Southall Won First Place in both Make-up and Hair when she recently entered the Star Wars Fantasy make-up category in the 2016 National Make Up Artists competition at the NEC, Birmingham. Adapting the prosthetics she made during that module,she created an amazing character, designing and making her own costume to create a total look. The judges thought that the standard or her work and her attention to detail was outstanding. This amazing? achievement is not only testament of Jessica’s skills but only confirms the standard of training and the level of support she received from her tutor Veronica McAleer, who mentored her through the whole process. MAKUP students are thriving in the small group environment provided by the academy, which ensures that all their time is spent gaining practical experience and training towards what is essentially a practical profession that requires exceptional skills to succeed.
