Aero's Arcana

//All moved in. Feel free to contact me as normal//

Greetings. My name is Eddie Farrow, I go by Aero's Arcana.

I trained for 2 years at Weston College under ex-BBC Make-up Artist, Sue Skinner, during which I learnt a wealth of knowledge for editorial, fantasy, prosthetics, SFX, stage as well as base knowledge such as COSHH and skin theory. The course also entailed sessions on hair/wig styling, postiche knotting and hair theory under tuition of industry professional hair artist Carrie Garoghan, art sessions by Mario Ferrari as well as limited lessons on business. I did have a tiny bit of struggle at the quick pace as I do have a setback in having learning processing impairment. If I could find employers with a little patience I would be very happy but I have been working on becoming faster but junior and trainee opportunities are scarce. 

I have worked on local theatre makeups for productions at the Blakehay and Playhouse, wedding makeups as well as in more mature, adult environments requiring more than a modicum of discretion and confidentiality. 

From my own background, I am most cosy when working on fantastical makeup combining a little SFX, prosthethics and alt-fashion as well as cosplay/paint. I would be very grateful for any opportunities and especially in the alt and fetish worlds. A creative opportunity with Illamasqua or Kryolan would suit me down to the ground just fine as well. I have no gradiose aspirations in so far as working with the famous or on large productions, I'm not here for that and I'm not too bothered about that enviroment. If someone considers me worthy one day, I will gladly help out though.  

I have a huge passion for Chemistry, I plan to go into studying a degree and I would like to take that into cosmetic science perhaps even shape my own brand. I have an ambition of using it as a teaching tool to trying and cut through the misinformation and misunderstandings the WWW age has brought. Even with that I would love to continue makeup application.
