ramatic Displays at Oran Mor
The final year HND make-up artist
students from Finnart Campus put
on a spectacular exhibit of their work
in a live presentation in the stunning
surroundings of the Oran Mor in
Real models were used for the students
to present their chosen look, selected
from character make-up, period or special
effects. The final result was a dramatic
display of looks ranging from the Bride
of Frankenstein, Cirque de Soleil and
Hellraiser to Jesus, Texas Chainsaw
Massacre and the Wicked Fairy.
The event gives students the chance to
flaunt their skills to industry contacts,
potential employers and professional
Make-up Artist lecturer at the college,
Maureen Manley, commented “The HND
students graded unit is a culmination
of their work over the last two years.
It is entirely up to them what look they
wish to create and most students chose
something in an area they are hoping to
break into when they graduate. They have
to style every part of their model to perfect
their look – hair, clothes and make-up, in
addition to creating their own background
settings.
“There was a very high standard of work
on display and it is an excellent chance for
our students to network with professionals
from the industry, show off their portfolios,
gain contacts and give out their business cards.”
