Make-up assistant

A make-up assistant helps the make-up department by:
* Supplying brushes and products to the make-up artists;
* Helping to fix prosthetics;
* Washing performers' hair, preparing scalp;
* Preparing performers' skin before anything is applied;
* Helping to alter, repair and dress wigs and hair pieces;
* Running errands, in general, for the department.
Make-up assistants can be distinguished from junior make-up artists, who do more hair and make-up work themselves, and from make-up trainees, who do a lot more running work.
Beryl Sanderson was an uncredited make-up assistant on An Unearthly Child.INFO: "The Firemaker"
Since the series reboot, the only credited make-up assistants have been on Torchwood. For example, for Combat and Out of Time the credited make-up assistants included Sarah Astley-Hughes and Kate Roberts.
