Caitlin O'Beirne

I graduated from the 30 week Advanced Hair and Makeup course at The Iver Makeup Academy in November 2021, and have since gained nearly two years full time experience as a trainee in both crowd and main team roles.
I have always had a huge interest in Film, TV, and Theatre, and thrive when working in a team on productions. I’m particularly interested in period hair and wig-work, having worked on many styles dating back to the 18th century during my time at the Iver Academy, but also have experience in fashion, theatre, and prosthetics.
