About Me

My name is Bryony Hutchinson. I am a fully qualified hair and makeup artist, and am currently progressing my career within Higher Education for Hair and Media Makeup Artistry, within the Performing Arts. 

My main creative outlet within my art is through special effects makeup, however, I also have skills required to be able to effectively work within the industry, and have a wide range of experience in areas such as theatrical productions, bridal/prom glam and editorial makeup for photoshoots.
