Our annual lunch at Bagden Hall, May 2023
Pamel Clare, Makeup artist and also a member of our committee gave a fantastic presentation of how makeup is used in film and photography. Pamela used some of our ladies as models for bruises, bullet wounds and grim prosthetics. In no time she transfromed them into victims of beatings and shootings. A brilliant day.
