Tillie Robinson-Smith
I am a trainee makeup artist. I turned something that I found terrifying into something I love. I was always looking away at gory scenes in movies and missing half the plot. I decided to investigate the various techniques and found I really enjoyed it. From then on, I wanted to carry on learning. I love every type of makeup and feel like an illusionist when I use either beauty or sfx makeup on models or actors. I adore history and find it fascinating researching into period pieces and learning new information at the same time.
