Libby Nye

As a hair and makeup artist for over a decade, I have worked on dozens of Film, TV, Theatre productions, photo shoots and weddings.

• Utilize my excellent communication skills to determine what the client wants, and interpret that onto a 3D canvas: their body.
• Use tactful grace and a sense of calm when working with clients who inherently have self consciousness or strict preferences for their look.
• Keep on top of trends and product research and continually practice the craft as it's always changing and growing.
• In film, TV and theatre roles - research and plan out all makeup including period-specific looks, apply special effects and prosthetics and keep track of continuity throughout the production.
• Work quickly and efficiently, within budget.
