Alex Higgins
Junior Makeup Artist
Lee View Studio & Bridal Lounge
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the Makeup Artist position at Lee View Studio & Bridal Lounge. With formal vocational qualifications in media and fashion makeup alongside practical studio and event experience in Cork, I am eager to contribute reliable cosmetic artistry, bespoke client consultations, and rigorous hygiene practices to your creative team.
In my current role as a Junior Makeup Artist with Rebel Glow Beauty Collective, I provide bespoke makeup applications for bridal parties, evening events, and studio photoshoots. My work involves consulting closely with clients on preferred aesthetics and skin sensitivities, as well as analyzing individual undertones to customize foundation formulas and color palettes for diverse complexions. Additionally, I collaborate directly with local portrait photographers to ensure every application is camera-ready under both studio flash and natural lighting conditions.
My foundational training at Shandon Stage & Occasion Studios and through the QQI Level 6 program at Cork College of FET reinforced my commitment to client safety and precision. During my time as a trainee, I supported lead artists during group bookings with skin preparation, continuous on-set touch-ups, false lash applications, and tool sterilization. Certified in infection prevention and control, I maintain strict sanitation standards across all kits and workstations to deliver seamless, professional service.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my practical studio experience and client-focused background align with the needs of Lee View Studio & Bridal Lounge. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Alex Higgins
