Broken Beauty


'Broken Beauty', the special effects show, took place on Wednesday 9th June at the Brook Street campus. It featured a show of cuts, burns, bruising and fashion make-up, as well as horror movie style make-up – definitely not for the faint hearted!

Visitors not only watched live demonstrations of special effects make-up, they experienced it too. College staff plus existing and prospective students chose to be made ‘beautiful’ or ‘gruesome’ by the highly skilled special effects make-up artists from the Intermediate Beauty course, and were also treated to manicures by the Level 1 beauty students. 
In addition to studying make-up, this group of students have been studying customer service and event planning, and used their new skills to plan the entire event themselves. They certainly took their customer service approach to new levels; the students even baked their own cupcakes to give their event visitors. All students involved worked really hard, on what proved to be a ‘truly special’ special effects event!

The students would also like to say a big thank you to Will Hutchinson, who helped to produce their poster, and to Vanessa Sumner and Tina Chatfield-Keller, photography students, who took photos at the event.
