Prosthetics Maker by Dana Bordea

I am an experienced and qualified professional Makeup Artist and Prosthetics Maker. 

 With a wide range of skills in producing makeup for filmmaking and professional photography my eye for detail has proven invaluable.
  I have been trained by Neill Gorton Prosthetics Studio (famous for his work on Doctor Who, Children of Men, Saving Private Ryan, and many awards along with his professional career), Stuart Conran (famous for Shaun of the Dead, Saving Private Ryan, The Hours) and Andrew Whiteoak (famous for his contribution to Beauty and the Beast).
   My own style is fresh, clean, and inventive which has led me to be employed in numerous short and feature films, music video productions, and television.

   In 2021, I had the amazing opportunity of working on a Bollywood Production with Pooja Entertainment Studios UK  called  PRODUCTION 41 – Mission Cinderella.  

I’ve been credited as the Key Makeup Artist for the Prosthetics Makeup Department.
   In recent years I have worked nationally and internationally on various film and media projects.

   With training in all aspects of Makeup: Prosthetic Makeup, Character Creations, Bald Caps, Injury Simulations, Out the Kit Makeup, Straight Makeup.

  Additional skills: Painting, Sculpting, Moulding, Hair Punching, Beauty Makeup & Hair Dressing/ Cutting, Body Painting, Props & Set dressing.
