Last month, our Level 3 Theatrical, Special Effects, Hair & Media Make-up students had the opportunity to attend a masterclass with Sculpted by Aimee, an award-winning beauty brand. The session was both inspiring and informative, giving students valuable insights into the make-up industry.

Who Are Sculpted by Aimee?

Sculpted by Aimee is a renowned beauty brand that specialises in multi-use products and skincare. Their products are cruelty-free, hydrating and designed to simplify make-up routines. A unique aspect of the brand is their commitment to authenticity – they never edit their adverts!

The Story Behind the Brand

Founder Aimee Connolly began her career as a make-up artist at just 15 years old. By 18, she was already one of Ireland’s top make-up artists. At 23, she launched Sculpted by Aimee, driven by her passion to create products that are simple, effective and an extension of skincare.

Aimee’s mission to make make-up accessible for everyday use, focusing on ease and practicality.

Impact On Our Students

Nicola not only demonstrated essential make-up techniques but also provided insights into transitioning creative skills into professional settings. She encouraged students to focus on their own growth and avoid comparing their work to others. Nicola also shared that students shouldn’t worry about making mistakes, but instead embrace the process and keep practicing to improve their skills.
