A LOCAL make-up artist, who was featured in a recent article in the Advertiser, had the chance this month, to try out her skills on the cast of a popular television show.

Karla Powell who teaches at NEW College was working on a photo shoot recently, where she had the opportunity to style make-up for all 17 members of the cast of The Only Way is Essex.

The photo shoot was marking the third series of the television programme, and Ms Powell worked alongside celebrity hair stylist Matthew Curtis.
