Suki Miles, HND Specialist Makeup graduate, represented the UK and beat 7 other finalists from around the world to win first prize at the IMATS competition held in Los Angeles, USA in June 2007. Since winning this huge prize and international recognition, Suki has worked on several short films and shoots for major publishing houses.

“The teaching at West Thames is really strong – they teach up-to-date and modern techniques taken straight from industry insiders, and they always give great feedback – it’s always tactful and the criticism is constructive and makes you a better artist. I have found the course inspiring. It has provided me with so much knowledge and has really prepared me for the world of specialist makeup.

“I would like to thank all the staff at the college. Their input, determination and knowledge have been instrumental in getting me where I am today. The training was preparation for the future.”
