Eliza McCabe
I decided to join the Iver Academy to fulfil my passion for makeup and creativity. Graduating with a degree in the History of Art, I researched and practised makeup and hair extensively before starting my course. I then worked on small groups of friends and family at events and weddings to further my professional skills. I have experience working on a variety of film productions whilst working for craft services, so I am used to busy film sets, long schedules and punishing hours (whilst also learning to make great hot drinks and snacks!) I also have extensive front of house experience in a private members club in London as well as in cafes and pubs. I am a passionate and hard worker and I can’t wait to develop what I have learnt at the Iver Academy as part of a team, expanding my knowledge of hair and makeup artistry as well as the film industry.
