Life's a drag for students on the media make-up diploma course at Keighley College.
They had a lesson with a difference when top cabaret artist Robin "Beau" Dearden visited the college to demonstrate his make-up techniques.
Award-winning Robin - whose stage name is Lizzie Drip - specialises in drag and is currently on a world tour taking in San Francisco, Chicago, Hong Kong and numerous venues across Europe.
The graduate of the Old Vic Theatre School has starred on stage and television, and has recently been filmed for an ITV2 documentary.
Caroline Ward, tutor on the media make-up course, says: "It is a real coup to get an international cabaret artist like Robin to come in and literally bare all, so that the students can see the sort of dramatic effects used to create a larger than life stage persona.
"The students and staff really enjoyed the demonstration and the chance to get on and have a go themselves."
