Emma Littler will compete in the Media Makeup Final, Destiny Fryer competes in the Beauty Finals and Chloe Woolliscroft and Claire Swift take part in the Nails Final.

The prestigious competition will take place at the NEC arena in Birmingham on the 15th until the 17th November and the successful Riverside students will compete against the top 8 students in the country.

The students, with the help of extra practice sessions with their tutors are preparing to showcase their skills in the hope of winning a medal at the competition.
