Christine Blundell Make up Academy

Christine Blundell Make up Academy Our professional London makeup academy is unique in the UK, in being founded by Oscar and BAFTA Award

CB*MA was founded in 2007 by Academy Award award-winning hair and make-up designer, Christine Blundell, to share the experience and knowledge she has accumulated in over two decades working on film, TV and theatre productions. Christine was inspired to create the school because she felt that in the training being provided in the UK, there was a lack of key skills. Therefore, she has designed her courses to ensure that every student graduating from CB*MA is at an Industry recognised level for those beginning their career. Her extensive knowledge of the industry has enabled her to hand-pick your team of excellent tutors, all of whom continue to work regularly in the business and keep abreast of new techniques and skills, through constant collaboration with fellow film and TV make-up professionals.

Throwing it back to our Textured Hair module, where our students explored the art of sleeking textured hair under the guidance of our lovely tutor, . ✨

Mastering textured hair is an essential skill for every hair and makeup artist, and our students loved developing techniques to create smooth, polished finishes while understanding how to work with different hair types.

What do you think of these sleek results? Let us know in the comments below. 👇
