Jessica Barba

After graduating her degree in BA (Hons) Make-up for Media and Performance, Jessica gained an array of professional credits including a postiche maker and wig knotter for the Wig Store London, certified make-up artist for Bobbi Brown UK and being a daily make-up and hair artist for television and theatre productions.

Following the acquisition of industry experience, Jessica was keen to explore teaching hair and make-up artistry within the higher education sector. Jessica started lecturing in make-up for media and performance in 2017 and joined the special make-up effects course at the University of Bolton in 2019.

Jessica looks forward to developing her qualifications further and attained her PGCert in Creative Education, to which she has gained the required credentials for Fellowship. Jessica has also completed UOB & Advance HE Professional Development Course (PDC) for External Examiners.
