Tabitha Barrett

I am highly motivated, bubbly and sociable individual who is passionate about establishing a successful career in Hair, Makeup and Prosthetics for Film, Television and Theatre. Prior to attending The Iver Academy I have had some amazing opportunities to further my skills and gain experience in the industry. I have been a Retail Makeup Artist for Charlotte Tilbury for 3 years, involving dealing with stock and admin, experiencing long hour days & working closely alongside members of the public. I have assisted Hair & Makeup Artists for London Fashion Week 2024 as well as completing my Level 2 & 3 diploma in Theatrical Media Hair and Makeup and Special Effects. I also attended the Silicone painting Masterclass with David Malinowski which i further developed my love and skills for prosthetics and intricate attention to detail. I am extremely passionate about my career and I have a friendly, enthusiastic personality. I am determined to learn and expand my skills to become the most productive trainee and look forward to meeting new people in my future career.
