The Sun: In October 2005 journalists Anila Baig and Caroline Palmer briefly exchanged races for a feature on the burka in The Sun. Stevie Bettles was responsible for the makeup and I’m grateful to him for the use of some of these images. Caroline had previously donned a fat-suit and prosthetics to try being fat for a day for another Sun article: Stevie Bettles was responsible for that makeup too.
Daily Mail: Ex-Blue Peter presenters Janet Ellis & Diane-Louise Jordan traded races for a day as the Daily Mail investigated attitudes to racism: both found that prejudice still exists. Steve Painter was responsible for the makeups. Both Janet and Diane-Louise were fitted with prosthetics to change the shape of their noses and lips as well as wearing wigs and havin their skin tones changed. Diane-Louise, but apparently not Janet, also wore contact lens to change her eye colour.
