Make-Up Masterclass with Christine Blundell

08 December 08

Supported by The Farm Group.

Christine Blundell is one of the British Film Industry’s most celebrated and in-demand make-up designers. Her film credits include Vera Drake, Finding Neverland, Sunshine and the forthcoming Hippie Hippie Shake and The Boat that Rocked.

In this BAFTA webcast the Script Factory’s Briony Hanson talks to Christine about how she built an award-winning career in the film industry. She describes her early work as a salon hairdresser, retraining as a make-up artist and winning critical acclaim for Mike Leigh’s Topsy-Turvy.

Hear her discuss the reasoning behind make-up and hair choices and the differences in approach needed - from recreating a period look in Vera Drake to preparing to a troop of dancing clowns in Topsy-Turvy and working in space for Danny Boyle’s Sunshine.

Watch Christine present a live demonstration of two recently designed makeup looks before taking questions from the audience and sharing her tips on breaking into the world of film hair and make-up.
