Millie Rock

Hair and Makeup Artist Trained at the Iver Makeup Academy, Pinewood studios
I am confident in working under pressure. I’m a fast learner and will assist in any way that would be required of me to help lighten the general workload of the day to day tasks of the makeup room. I have always been a people person, I’m very comfortable with the faced past environment and the long hours. I am London based, flexible with times and dates, very capable of assisting but is also capable of taking on tasks in a crowd room doing Hair and makeup.

Found a love for prepping setting and styling large Period wigs for both film and theatre. Wet setting and heat applying sets to create the same look – 30s 40s 50s. Creating characters with wounds and bruises or fake eyelashes and hair pieces. Airbrushing graphic shapes, flawless base, contouring. I also have taken part in a 3 week process for prosthetics on how to make them, sculpt and apply. and the same with fashion but learning about head shape with contouring, skin matching for flawless base, and exploring editorial looks.

Mua Wig Assistant Trainee (3-day Dress Rehearsal, 1 day Opening Night – March 2023 ) Royal college of Music.
I focused on wig application as between 4 of us there were 42 wigs to be applied. I would prep the wigs by restyling and steaming, I also set and styled an 18th century wig. During the performance I would stand backstage helping out with quick changes including makeup changes, wigs taken on and off and hat pinned to wig application.

I was sent continuity photographs from the previous film shoots to know what looks I was achieving. The looks included, cuts, bruises, black eyes, bullet wounds. I had to make sure the continuity was perfect as there were lots of close-up shots.
