Olivia Reynolds

I decided to study Special effects for TV and Film (BDES Hons) at the University of Bolton with an interest in Prosthetic makeup and graduated in 2018. Whilst studying and after I graduated I have worked within the makeup industry working for companies such as NYX Professional makeup and Bobbi Brown as a certified makeup artist

I have also always had a passion for teaching so I have taught at a youth charity before completing my PG Cert (14+) in 2020. After graduating from my PG Cert I started to work in the Special Makeup Effects Department where I specialize in straight from kit makeup techniques and silicone prosthetic application.

I have a range of industry experience in medical simulation prosthetic applications, makeup daily for the BBC, makeup for international commercials, prosthetic/ makeup design and application for music videos and short films.
