Jack Muscat
I am a Maltese makeup artist who has relocated to London. Coming from such a small island, I did not have many opportunities to grow within my craft so I decided it was time to further my knowledge and studies abroad. this would enable me to gain more experience, but also to practice in a more multi-cultural environment, which has always been a priority of mine. I recently graduated from the Iver Makeup Academy in Pinewood Studios, from the 30 week course where I managed to refine and broaden my knowledge gained from working at Mac Cosmetics, Space NK and freelancing by dealing with all types of customers and having to perform under time constraints. This has proven beneficial when working in crowd room simulations, films and anything that requires high speed work.
