Amber Hoskins

I am a passionate and determined individual who is always looking for opportunities to enhance my skillset in the best way to help the production I am on. I am able to work well independently but also as part of a team, adapting as necessary. I graduated from the Iver Makeup Academy, hosted in Pinewood Studios, in December 2020. I completed the Advanced Artistry Certificate and received training in hair and makeup for Film/TV, Prosthetics, SFX, Period hair and makeup, Fashion, Beauty Editorial and Body Art. Whatever I apply myself to I always aim to provide the best service and the finest result, achieved with efficiency. I am also a ScreenSkills Film Finder Trainee 2022-23.
