Theatrical and Media Make-up students visit Madame Tussauds

The Theatrical and Media Make-up students visited London’s top attractions starting at the Royal Opera House and then progressing on to Madame Tussauds. All students on the course got to visit backstage and have a private tour of each attraction to see what happens.

They were shown how the wax works are made on the site, how long it takes and the extent of what goes into making a wax model. In between visits, the students shopped at specialist Theatrical make-up shops.

Course tutor Aisling Doherty comments, “The trip was both fun and educational and gave an interesting insight into what goes on behind the scenes for Theatrical and Media Make up.”
