Profile
Eryca Freemantle is the Managing director of Face the Facts, a Make up School established in 2003. She is not just a make up artist; she is a successful business woman in her own right. A major car accident over 25 years ago left Eryca with hair loss, with visible scarring to the right side of her face and near amputation of her leg left. After being told that she would probably not be able to walk again, she was determined to prove everyone wrong. Sheer motivation and determination enable her to fight the fight every single day of her life. She refused to be beaten. She was told that her dream of becoming a model would be longer. This motivated her to learn about corrective make up techniques and applications to camouflage facial blemishes and scarring. Accepting she could not pursue modeling, she decided to become a make up artist.
She has been teaching make up artistry for over 20 years. She qualified as a Make up Artist at Complexion School of Make Up, based in Holborn London WC1. Eryca was taught by the world famous Ms Jenny Jordon. Eryca then went on to freelance in the industry. Greater satisfaction was achieved by teaching. Once she obtained her teaching qualification, she taught at the prestigious London College of Fashion, where she designed bespoke courses, for fashion students and students of the various different beauty therapy courses. She has become expert in this field and her enthusiasm and determination to be the best, has led her to become one of the most highly sort after make-up artist on the international beauty scene.
