Brides, bridesmaids, Mums and Grandmothers...

I have been lucky enough to work with hundreds of lovely brides, bridesmaids and Mums recently and over the years.  I love working with lovely people and helping ladies look their best, especially on a very special occasion, such as a wedding.

It is a regular occurrence for me to work with up to 10 people in a wedding package, and it can be quite a demanding job - time is always of the essence, but we always get there in the end, I am always extremely organised for my clients, its the only way to be!

My 23+ years of experience and portfolio means I can cater for any make-up look that is required plus I can advise you on what is best for you on your big day, using the best products available in the Lincolnshire area.  You can be assured that all of my cosmetics are sanitised and hygiene is of the upmost importance to me whilst I am working.

My style of make-up is very natural, elegant and classic and will not date, so you will look back on your wedding photos and your make-up will not have dated.  On the wedding day I like to be in the background working.   I work in a very quiet, calm way so that I am fully focused on creating your make-up for you and achieving the most professional results that will last all day.

I am so lucky to work with such lovely people!

I was honoured to get a tweet off Lisa Eldridge a few weeks ago, I am a huge fan of her work and I was very chuffed! (she loved my harlequin make-up that won a gold award recently in a photographic competition in London, see next blog post below.)

False eyelashes.

To say I am obsessed with false eyelashes would be an understatement.  I always like to encourage wearing false lashes, especially if its for a special occasion, even if someone doesn't wear them.  They simply enhance your eyes and make you look like you have fuller, longer lashes...not a bad thing!  There are so many brands to chose from nowadays and there are lots of different styles too, so it can be a bit of a minefield when choosing.

I have just written my March column for the Journal magazine, and in it I talk about the best way to apply false lashes - once you have practised a few times, you will be well away!

False eyelashes don't have to look like you are in TOWIE or unnatural...infact, the very opposite.  If applied and chosen correctly, false eyelashes will make your eyes look amazing...as long as you have the correct make-up too!

Theres lots of tips and advice in my column so give it a read, if you are thinking of trying some false lashes! (see below for photo of my false eyelash drawer!)

Lots of bookings coming in now for this year and also for 2015 too..there are a lot of organised people out there!x

A lovely card from Pixiwoo.

Pixiwoo/Real techniques...

I have been a huge fan of Sam Chapman and Nic Haste for many years now, (aka Pixiwoo), and I have been lucky enough to be in touch with Sam for a good number of years.  She is so down to earth and when I contacted her to ask if she could sign a card for my Daughter, she didn't hesitate!  I also managed to buy my daughter some Real Techniques brushes and she was so excited when she opened them on Christmas day, they are lovely to work with and make applying make-up a real doddle!  Sam and Nic also sent me a lovely card too, which has pride of place in my make-up studio. Sam often comments/likes my work on Facebook, which is always a huge compliment to me, as I have a lot of respect for her.

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas, I had a great time! Its always so great to see my lovely family and friends...but far too much food and drink was consumed as usual!  Anyway, back to work and I have been inundated with enquiries and bookings for 2014/15.  2014 is nearly booked up now, with limited availability, so just contact me and I will check to see if I am available for you.  I have had quite a few bookings for 2015 too, so again, just contact me to check.  Happy new year everyone xxx

Bobbi Brown make-up palette!

 

I am really impressed with the new Bobbi Brown lip palette, it caters for all skin tones and has lots of lip colours and textures to choose from, (please see photo by Melbourne photography.) This was taken at The Habrough hotel.

I am getting very busy for the end of this year and also nearly booked up for next year, so please contact me to check availability/if you would like to book!

Bridal/wedding Make-up artist training in Lincolnshire...

I had the pleasure last week, of doing some Bridal/wedding make-up training for a budding Make-up artist, Emma Knight.  Emma came all the way from Suffolk to train with me and apparently has been a fan of my work for the past 2 years!  Emma has trained with the fantastic Pixiwoo and wanted more of a specialised make-up training in the art of Bridal/wedding make-up.  It was a full day!  We started at 9.30 am and after discussing the aims and objectives of the day we set to work!  I first did a demo on Bridal make-up on a model and then Emma did the same afterwards - I gave lots of encouragement and advice along the way.  We finished at 3.30 p.m.

After lunch I had a mature model booked in and I demonstrated Mother-of-the-Bride make-up and then Emma again, did the same after me.  After this I gave her a run-down on all of my most-used products and lots of tips too!  Emma was very eager to learn and I was very impressed with her willingness to learn.  When Emma arrived back home she wrote the following about me - "I have just returned from a 'Bridal Bootcamp' with the amazing Tina Brocklebank, who has really put me through my paces. Tina has over 23 years experience in this industry so there is nothing she does not know about Bridal make-up. Tina is also a Bobbi Brown guru.  Thank you so much I had a great day and learned A LOT!  I really can't thank you enough, you made everything seem so straight forward and have given me the confidence boost that I really needed."

If you would like some Bridal/wedding make-up artist training, please contact me for further details and I can cater it for your level of skill and requirements.
