Phoebe Menges
Having trained at the IVER Makeup Academy with the Advanced Certificate in 2021, I have gone on to work in an Emmy Award-Winning Hair and Makeup team under Erika Okvist for Bridgerton, Netflix. With a passion for Film, TV and the Arts, I thrive in a team environment and am very keen to learn and absorb the work and techniques of others. I am punctual, reliable and consistently hardworking. I have strong people skills and feel very confident working in principal teams, taking care of my own cast members, and in large, fast-paced crowd rooms. I am based in Surrey and am open to taking jobs abroad. I own a car and have a full UK Driving Licence. I am Barbicide COVID Awareness trained.
