Jessica Short(II)
- Make-Up Department
Jessica's professional hair and makeup career began after she attended Delamar Academy at Ealing Studios in London. Here she studied an intensive full time course in Professional Makeup Design and took an additional module in Advanced Hair.
Her training gave her a high level of proficiency in all areas of makeup and hair for Film, TV, Theatre and Fashion. This includes period, fashion and beauty makeup, period, historical and Hollywood hairstyles, basic hair cutting techniques, various wig work, bald caps, facial hair, prosthetics, body painting and airbrushing.
Her theatre work so far has allowed her to assist with wigs at The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and work as a wig swing in London's West End production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. TV work roles have varied from work experience, trainee, dailie and assistant positions on both live and pre-recorded TV programmes for BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and other digital channels. In order to gain more experience in other areas, Jessica has also worked on live charity events and fashion shows, student films, festivals, music videos and in store makeup counters.
In addition to all the above, Jessica sources, manages and provides hair and makeup services to the wedding industry and other special events.
