About me
My name is Rachael Britton, I am 28 years old. I graduated in 2019 after studying Makeup for Media and Performance BA at Arts University Bournemouth. Through studying at university I have learnt skills such as wig construction, styling and prosthetic making. I have also been able to build on my makeup skills and learn about trends and styles within the industry. I have a lot of experience in the theatre industry (over 25 productions), doing wigs and makeup for most of these productions and some prosthetic work as well. When living on the Isle of Man, I was given many opportunities where I could work within theatre helping out with makeup and hair, I have also been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be in charge of these departments, designing appropriate looks for the shows. My main passion is making wigs, I enjoy creating pieces for Theatre, Film and TV and would love to continue working with wigs in the future.
I have recently relocated to Manchester to further my career and find better opportunities within the industry. I am currently working for Maison Francis Kurkdjian as a Luxury Brand Ambassador in Selfridges. Previous to this I was working for Christian Dior as a Counter Manager which I was very passionate about. I loved making my clients feel important and glamorous when they purchased from my counter. This position has allowed me to learn more about this side of the industry and learn about the benefits of skincare and other elements of makeup. I also gained skills in managing people and maintaining standards on counter, keeping to a target.
I like to keep up to date with current trends on social media and enjoy watching a lot of film and tv shows to help keep up to date. I invite you to look through my portfolio where I have included some work that I have done over the years.
