Some crowd room pics I took in @m_robyn_w crowd room on ‘How To Train Your Dragon’✨ Loved this job so much and am thankful for it every day 🙌🏼
1-3: Hair pieces I made using multiple types of synthetic hair, rope and scraps of fabric. @kellywhitehairartist@shazzam taught me pretty much every technique shown 🤩
4: Hair fitting Robyn kindly let me do on one of the BG kiddies!
5: Quick beard extension made by me, breakdown by me also
6: Some final battle breakdown practice I did on my hand
Some bruise/injury practice with alcohol paint I did in @thomo_nini crowd room ✨
I was enjoying playing around with lighting and colour to make a bruise look older/ more intense and a little bit of basic scarring for a quick but effective look on the bg!
Using @skinillustratorofficial on fx palette & on set palette as well as bluebird triage palette

2024 PT2 -
How To Get To Heaven From Belfast- what a job! My first taste of the main team life, again with the wonderful privilege of working for @m_robyn_w
From Robyn I have learned so much, including the inner workings of a makeup team to how to be a kind and gracious boss.
Along with the amazing girls I got to know and love so much! @shazzam who showed me her effortless skill and knowledge of all things hair, as well as being a listening ear when I wasn’t feeling my best self. @clairemccaffrey_ who taught me how to be the best standby and making me belly laugh every day. And the gorgeous @realkarenhassan who showed me the art of being a trainee, with tips and tricks coming out of her eyeballs as well as how to make the perfect cup of tea 🤣. For all 4 of you I will be forever thankful.
Lots of ❤️ for our amazing dailies who came in with fresh energy and vibes when we all needed it most (by September we had gone crazy 🤣)
6 months in Heaven done!
2024 PT1-
This was by far one of the most special years for me; the year my dream career started, and I met some of the most important people in my life!
@m_robyn_w I can never thank you enough for for trusting me and giving me the start that so many h/muas can only dream of. HTTYD was my absolute dream job and I still pinch myself over the fact I was able to work on it!
Everyone in our crowd room and main team, thank you for sharing your never ending knowledge and kindness when I was so green to the crazy world that is film and tv! I learned so much skill wise and about myself, and it was all down to all of you beautiful souls and the lovely atmosphere created by @m_robyn_w 🥲
Here’s to 2025- and hopefully to more exciting projects! ❤️❤️
-Laying on course-
Had the privilege of attending a course taken by @puffjockey & @makeupjar and learned all the tricks of the trade when it comes to facial hair. Thank you so much for sharing your never ending knowledge!
This was my first attempt at a beard on Alexis, my super patient model for lending me his face to practice on! I still have a long way to go, but practice makes perfect 😅
Some stills of my body paint fantasy look- under the sea 🌊🪸
I’m so happy with how this look came out and all of my prosthetic pieces worked (thank god!)

-UNDER THE SEA-
This was my take on an under the sea look, my thought process was someone who was lost at sea and became one with the ocean life after years underneath the water.
I have a starfish and barnacles on the mouth area, sand dollars and mussels over the eye and two larger starfish attached to the shoulder.

-AIR AMBULANCE TRAINING DAY-
I had such a blast working at @official_grassmen farm for the @airambulance_ni training day for their paramedics and the fire service and rescue staff. We spent all day simulating real life scenarios with both live actors and dummies.
1) @vondoesmakeup , @abbeyo.makeup & myself working on the silicone dummies
2) @niamhmajmakeup modelling beautifully a nasty head wound
3) puncture wound on our silicone dummy
4) simulation of a cardiac event brought on by a bull horn injury
5) a premature baby blue due to lack of oxygen
6) myself applying blood to a head wound under a lorry
7) @glitter_in_a_bin modelling a nasty black eye
8) firefighters cutting someone out of an overturned lorry
