Charlie Wood

About Charlie

I am a creative and detail-oriented makeup artist with a degree in Makeup for Media and Performance from Arts University Bournemouth. My work spans film, theatre, and editorial, with skills in prosthetic application, special effects, wig making, period hairstyling, and hairwork. Since graduating, I have worked on editorial shoots, short films, and live immersive productions, including Lapland UK. I’m drawn to storytelling through makeup, hair, and costume, particularly in fantasy, period dramas, and musical theatre. I love bringing characters to life, whether it's sculpting prosthetics, styling intricate updos, or carefully crafting wigs. Beyond makeup, I’m passionate about the arts—I love drawing, painting, photography, crafting headpieces and visiting galleries, which fuels my creativity in my work. Outside of film and theatre, you’ll find me immersed in nature, plants, and a bit of witchy magic. I have a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and history, particularly ancient Egypt. I also enjoy archery, which probably explains my love for historical and fantasy productions! I thrive in fast-paced environments, whether it's executing quick changes backstage or applying detailed prosthetics on set. My goal is to build a career as a Makeup Artist in fantasy films, and period projects.
