My time at College

When I signed up for this course, I didn't really think about what would be involved in the course and I never really had any expectations, as I applied very late. When choosing this course, it wasn't because I wanted to do it as a career, it was because I enjoy doing it as a hobby.I had never really thought about having it as a job because I never expected that it could happen. Now that i've started the course, my opinon has changed and I now realise that if it's something I want to do I need to work hard.

Since starting the Media Make-up course, my opinion on make-up has changed. When I thought about Make-up, I never really thought about the SFX side to it. I always thought of it as making people look pretty. I have really enjoyed this course so far, especially the SFX part, which I wasn't expecting. I think WCS is a fantastic College and I am really enjoying my time here.
So far I have had a few funny moments in all my classes, but the best has got to be when Donald put us into groups and gave us topics to research.He gave my group the topic of Folic Acid, which was interesting...
The most interesting thing I have learned to do so far is probably how to do cuts and wounds.

I really like the work of Beverly Jo Pryor, who has done the make-up of some of the Vampire Diaries cast, such as Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley. She has also done the Make-up of stars such as Will Smith and Orpah Winfrey. Pryor has been a Make-up for around 30 years and her big break came when she was hired by MAC Cosmetics. She started off in TV shows such as "Family Matters" and "Keenan and Kel", eventually moving up to films, doing work on "Big Momma's House" and a few others. Her recent work has been shown on the likes of "Ugly Betty" and "Vampire Diaries"

After spending the last Month at WCS, I have Realised that I would really like to persue a career in the Make-up industry.
