Jessica Barba

Lecturer – Special Make-up Effects for TV & Film

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.
