Make-up artist in Lincolnshire (Blog update) -

Well, I haven't wrote in my blog for quite a while! things have been very hectic lately! So, since my last post I have been very busy with make-up trials and make-up lessons in my make-up studio.  I have updated my make-up kit recently by purchasing a new wonderful Mamba brush wrap from  The Emj company (www.theemjcompany.com), a pencil roll and also a gloss roll - let me tell you - these products have revolutionized my work by making things SO much easier! I know can see exactly where  my brush/product is without rummaging around, it certainly saves a lot of time and effort!

I have also been extremely busy with weddings too, and I have had the pleasure of working with some lovely, inspirational people.  Its always such an honour to share someone's wedding morning with them.  I also had the pleasure of working in Nottingham recently with 3 beautiful ladies, (Mum and 2 daughters.)  They wanted a day make-up workshop, so I designed it especially around them for their requirements and needs.  I showed them different looks, products and techniques too.  The 2 daughters have quite a following - check out their channels on Youtube - talkbeckytalk or twinklelashes  I then designed their looks for them on my face charts, (see photo above.)

I have also been busy writing my column for the Journal magazine, and please feel free to e-mail me over any make-up related questions you may have, that you would like me to answer for you.  I really enjoy writing my column.

People are coming from as far away as Essex now to have make-up trials with me, and they stayed at the beautiful Healing Manor.  They are getting married at the stunning Stubton Hall, near Newark, (www.stubtonhall.co.uk )Its a perk of the job to get to travel around the UK and see some beautiful locations for weddings.

I am also loving working with mature ladies for make-up lessons - its very satisfying to help someone who has lost confidence and once they have their make-up applied they are back in the game! To quote on lady recently, "I feel like skipping home after having my make-up done by you, I feel fantastic!"  You can see why I love my job so much, and its great to help and empower other women.

I have a lot of make-up trials and lessons coming up, and wedding season is in full swing, with bookings being taken for 2015 and 2016.  I also have some photo shoots lined up for various projects, so watch this space!

I had the pleasure of working with a photographer in London recently, and I created a doll-inspired make-up for the shoot.

Thank-you for reading!xxx

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

Cat eye make-up

Cat eye make-up look.

First I tweezed Jessicas' brows and then applied a cream eyeshadow all over the eye area in Shore.  I then applied a mixture of Burnt sugar and Sable eyeshadow in the inner corners of the eyes, blending really well.  I also created a higher socket line by applying mahogany eyeshadow above the eye socket crease.  I then defined the brows slightly by filling in with eyeshadow.  Next I used an eyeliner brush by Shu Uemura, which was perfect for this job, as it helped me create that lovely, thin line along the lash-line and flick it out at the edge, also then running it underneath the eye all the way and in the waterline.  I then applied some false eyelashes and applied some Mac mascara to finish the eye make-up.  I balanced the make-up by using a nude lip-colour and blotting, also applying a peachy-blush by Bobbi Brown, (Apricot.)  It isn't a look everyone can wear, but it certainly is effective for those who can carry it off!

Halloween make-up by Tina Brocklebank

Halloween make-up

I am so inspired by Sam and Nic Chapman of Pixiwoo fame - www.pixiwoo.com and I am addicted to their tutorials!  However, as I have an art background and was trained at the London C0llege of Fashion it is something that is in me and I LOVE anything that involves make-up and art, I do love my bridal work but my heart lies with Fashion/body painting/photographic make-up.

I absolutely love Halloween so it was a prime excuse to do something very creative on my beautiful daughter, Alisha.

First I primed the skin with a Mac primer, I then used Bobbi Brown Long-wear even finish foundation in Porcelain ensuring the base was really even. I then used the same shade in the foundation stick as less was not more with this look!  I used a Mac bright pink eyeshadow for the blush and highlighted with a Fardel irredescent powder eyeshadow in white. I then set to work on the eyes.
As the eyes are the focal point I left the eyebrows bare.  I used Charcoal by Bobbi Brown and then Black Ink gel liner by Bobbi Brown.  I blended well using Real Techniques brushes - www.realtechniques.com I had some false eyelashes left over from a previous shoot from Illamasqua so my daughter painted them with Black mascara, (as the dots were gold.) I then used the gel liner to paint on the cobwebs and highlighted dots with Make-up forever diamond powder.  I used a softer grey to contour the nose and above the cupids bow and then filled in the lips, it all took me around an hour and a half.  Watch this space for other projects!

Smokey eyes, 60's inspired...

This was from a photoshoot which I did recently with the lovely Charlotte Hay from Stella and Alf.  We went for a grungy/60's inspired look.  For make-up I first applied a primer to keep the make-up on then added a vitamin enriched face base by Bobbi Brown.  I then applied their new Long-wear even finish foundation in Porcelain and concealed underneath the eye area, then set with some loose powder.  Next I defined the eyebrows using a Louise Young angled brush and Bobbi Brown eyeshadow.  I then used a Long-wear cream eyeshadow and then applied a charcoal eyeshadow and encouraged creasing by applying vaseline over, I then elongated the eye by smudging out to create that lovely feline look, taking this underneath the eye too, using lots of gel liner and mascara too.  I opted out of using blush and just contoured the cheeks with a little bronzer.  I then finished by applying a Porcelain concealer over the lips to create a matte finish.  Photo by Ellis Wood.  Hair by Becki Robinson.
