Kat Morgan | BAFTA Breakthrough 2023

It’s long been the case that the hair and make up team are the unofficial therapists of any film and television set. The intimate nature of their work, coupled with being the first ones in and the last ones out, means they can be hugely influential for setting the right mood for the day. The make-up truck is also often the choice destination for those who need to just hang out, decompress and have “a wee chit-chat”. That’s the kind of positive environment that Scottish hair and make up designer Kat Morgan wants to cultivate, where everyone feels safe, welcome and can enjoy a good work-life balance.
This goes beyond her own work, which spans a decade and more than 40 screen credits, including television series Outlander (2014-2017), I May Destroy You (2020) and This is Going to Hurt (2022), and the films Blue Jean (2022), Limbo (2020) and Girl (2023). It’s an industry issue she is very vocal about, and is keen to use her position now, as a head of department, to help bring about change.
