Students made up with successful showcase event at shopping mall
Fashion and make-up students from Paisley’s college showcased their skills at Braehead shopping centre in their final graded unit event.
The show, which took place at the Renfrew Road complex, brought together the HNC West College Scotland students to show off their final creations inspired by leading and fashion makeup brands on the catwalk.
Compere for the event was HND Makeup Artistry student On-May Yeung, who is currently starring in BBC 3’s Glow Up, searching for the next big thing in makeup artistry.
Head of sector for health, wellbeing and care, Wendy Sheridan-Price said: “Our students focused and their hard work and endeavours paid off.
“They delivered a high quality, inspirational graded event.
“I am very proud of our students and have no doubt they will go on to achieve great things in their chosen careers going forward.”
Paisley Nicole Modzelewska, who is originally from Poland said: “My inspiration comes from nature.
“My look is called “Enchanted” and I think that suits professional makeup brand, Kryolan because they are very creative.”
Speaking of her college experience so far she added: “I love everything about my course and I want to learn more that’s why next year I’m going onto my HND, and hopefully I will start working in the makeup industry, that is my biggest dream!”

Whilst at college she enjoyed creating avant garde looks and preparing models for photoshoots.
She said: “I loved learning hair and makeup techniques from both my lecturers and classmates.”
Eilidh Young, from Paisley, loved learning new skills at college which she says has helped develop her confidence.
