She studied theatre make-up at Northbrook College in Worthing, where she became friends with professional make-up artist Therese Williams who kindly took Shirley under her wing. During this time Shirley worked with Therese on professional Operas in various locations around the country.
She was then asked by a friend, who had been let down by a face painter for her child's party, to 'have a go' at face painting, and the rest is history!
Shirley has also spent many years providing a theatrical make-up design and application service to local theatre groups including Durrington Theatrical Society (adult and junior productions), Mask, SMP, NSMP and Worthing Gang Show, to name but a few!
Shirley has also been the make-up artist for several Weddings in the local area.

UPDATE:
Shirley has now been working with a local photographer providing 'straight' make up for modelling work, please see the 'Body, Theatre & Model Make up' page, thanks!
