AN AWARD-WINNING make-up artist academy is offering a large bursary to one talented student.

Based at the world famous Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath, the Iver Make-up Academy (IMA) is offering a 40 per cent discount on the normal cost of their 14 week Foundation Certificate in Make-up and Hair Artistry between April and August 2017, which will offer real-life on-set experience in hair and make-up.

Tutors at the academy have won BAFTAs for their work in the film and television industry, having worked on films such as Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and Les Miserables.

Liz Tagg, founder of The Iver Makeup Academy, said: “We want to ensure that the most talented people are able to train regardless of their personal financial background."

To enter, candidates must have three years proven experience in either art, design, beauty, or hairdressing. Hopefuls should send pictures of their work demonstrating make-up, hair or prosthetic interest to info@iveracademy.co.uk.

The IMA have also said that applicants must also be able to prove their financial need for the bursary.

The deadline for entries is this Friday, December 9.
