BETHANY BEATS SMITH
M.U.A
"The creative world has always been part of my life. Bringing imagination to reality in art felt like my calling from an early age, sparked by seeing fantastic films like ‘The Dark Crystal’ and ‘Pans Labyrinth’.
I drew countless drawings of wild creatures and epic characters, hoping one day I could see them on the big screen."

ABOUT BETHANY...
Bethany started experimenting with makeup in her teens, spontaneously making up fantastical beauty looks and gory wounds. At 21 she finished her HND Performing Arts Production with distinctions in every project. The course taught her how to hand craft a wide variety of pieces, from huge wigs and costumes, through to full prosthetics.
During her time studying, Bethany worked on a number of short films and gained experience in design work for theatre companies, leading her to become head artist on several film, TV and theatre productions, including working with brands like Sony, BBC and Alton Towers Resort.
As lead artist, Bethany has worked on great indie films with some winning coveted awards, like 'Follow The Crows' which won Best Indie Fiolm at the Global Film Awards and 'In A Year' which won awards at MMF and Long beach Indie Film Festival.
Makeup is a great passion for Bethany and it's her wish to offer her skills to whoever may need or want them. Her skills range from textiles, prosthetics, hand knotted wigs, body painting, hairstyling and prop design, through to beautiful occasion looks such for weddings & proms.
If you're looking for gore & horror, Bethany has a range of traditional artistic skills to draw from and is well educated in biology and anatomy, which she uses to give her work a truly authentic feel.
Film, TV, theatre, high fashion and beauty makeup are all fields Bethany enjoys to work with & has a wealth of experience in, if you would like to book Bethany for your next project...
