Miss Maria Leyden.
I make art for a huge variety of projects and businesses. Here's some info about me
I have a First Class Honours from London College of Fashion, studying BA Costume, Technical Effects and Make-up for the Performing Arts.
I have worked globally as a make-up artist in theatre, television, film, opera, circus, fashion, advertising, teaching and events.
