Carshalton College hosted their annual make-up competition on Wednesday 19 December. The theme of the show was ‘Mother Earth’ and students spent an hour re-creating looks on models to compete in this end of term show.

Held in the Pulse Sports Hall 28 beauty students from our City & Guilds Level 2 Beauty Therapy course took part. The show was open to family and friends of the students, staff and the general public. The competition is put on annually to allow the students to complete a module of their course in organising and taking part in a live event and to celebrate the talents of the beauty students.

The show was judged by tutors at the College and last year’s winner, Nicola Slaymaker. Nicola has since winning the competition completed her beauty course and is now working in the beauty industry. Nicola came in to speak to the students in class at College a few weeks before the event to pass on some tips and advice.

After much deliberation the judges announced Sadie Brooks as the winner. Sadie received a box full of beauty products. Lauren Butcher was awarded second place and Elizabeth McNichols received third place.

Sarah Knight, Beauty Team Leader at the College said ‘The styles and concepts the students created on their models were phenomenal. The standard of the students who have only had 12 weeks of make-up training was remarkably high. We are really pleased with the results and it was a positive way to end the term before Christmas.’ Beauty students do a full range of treatments including: manicures, pedicures, facials, eyes treatments, waxing, make-up, false eyelashes, massage and spray tanning.
