2022/23 bookings.

Hi there, I just wanted to touch in with you as since losing my Mum in July, I have still been trying my hardest to continue as normal. I even worked on a wedding the day she passed away. It is what my Mum would have wanted me to do.

I have managed to work on all but one of my weddings, (and this was rearranged in advance of the wedding). It's been tough, and it is still early days. It's only been 3 months.

Since July I have had 16 weddings! I have 4 weddings left for this year.

I have a good support network, great family and 2/3 very good friends, (you really do find out who your friends are at times like these!) I also have 2 great furbabies, which I am also very grateful for! (oh, and yoga!!)

I know some of you have booked for makeup lessons and I have been doing one or two, here and there, but, I hope you can appreciate, I need to take a little time for me, to grieve and to get my mojo back...and I will eventually!

I wanted to thank you all for being so kind and understanding to me during this very difficult time. I have had so many lovely messages of support. I really do appreciate them all.

If you have booked in for a makeup lesson, please be assured that it will happen at some point, if not before the New Year then early next year.

If you would like to contact me to organise it and for us to mutually agree a good time for us both, then please do.

I already have bookings for 2022 and 2023 and I shall be looking forward to meeting new clients and returning ones. 2022 is near enough fully booked.

I have worked with some amazing people over the years and recently and I am very grateful to each and every one of those people for choosing me as their Make-up artist and for giving me the opportunity to meet them and work with them. It has really helped me.

This week I am starting my second online Art course with The Glasgow school of Art, I really did enjoy the first one and I can't wait to get cracking again!

Last week we we drawing hands, (not my strong point and I had never drawn them before...) but I got there in the end and I really enjoyed it. We had to use charcoal and a putty eraser.

Here are just some of the wonderful weddings and clients I have worked with recently...

Good foundations.

My first instalment on London based, Best British blog - Bride and Tonic is now live!

I decided to keep it simple and to the point and thought I would begin with discussing how to choose the right foundation and how to apply it - http://www.brideandtonic.com/2019/04/20/your-wedding-makeup-guide-good-foundations/ I hope you enjoy reading it - let me know what you think!

A busy week ahead with makeup lessons, makeup trials and 2 weddings this weekend - one at the lovely Healing Manor hotel.

I'm going to keep my blog updates sweet and to the point, as who has time to read lots?! I know I haven't!

I hope you have had a great Easter break x

Bride and tonic Make-up artist and competition news.

I am honoured to be London based, Best British blog - Bride and Tonic's regular Make-up artist contributor. Here is my first blog post, I hope you like it -http://www.brideandtonic.com/2019/02/23/secrets-of-the-suppliers-what-to-ask-your-makeup-artist/

There's lots of tips about what you need to know about hiring a Pro Make-up artist - it could save you a lot of time, heartache and money!

Also, to tip you off about a Mother's day competition I will be running shortly. As you are subscribed to my emails you get to know about this first. If you would like to nominate someone to win a Make-up lesson with me, (whether it be for your friend, Mum, Grandmother or neighbour even), please email me on tina@tinabrocklebank.co.uk with details of why you would like to do so and why you think they should win. (Please note, this will not be done on Mother's day, but at a mutually convenient time. Once announced the lesson needs to be done within 3 months of winning. This is non-transferrable to any other service, i.e, wedding make-up.) Deadline for entries is the 31st of March.

Just to also let you know, bookings are now being taken for 2020, (limited availability) and also for 2021 so it is never too early to book!

Bridal and Wedding / Make-Up Lessons / Mature Ladies Make-Up - 02/28/2019

Rosie.

Rosie wanted a natural, classic look for her wedding day, which is of course, my signature look. She was a pleasure to work with and very easy going.

As she was wearing white, this indicated that a brighter pop of colour is required on the face, otherwise, she would look washed out in the photos.

The lip colour here is by Charlotte Tilbury, Hollywood lips in Sweetheart and then I layered Liv it up on the top.

Eyes were softly defined with some beautiful, natural false eyelashes.

Cleatham hall is a wonderful venue and I loved working there!

Bohemian Bride, Katie.

I had the pleasure recently of working with the gorgeous Katie, for her wedding in Lincolnshire.

Make-up wise, Katie prefers a very natural look and I didn't want to distract the attention away from those amazing flowers!

Light foundation was applied and a spot of powder, eyes were kept very light with a tiny bit of definition and some very small false lashes.

A tiny flush of cream blush and then the spot on lip colour from Bobbi Brown to compliment the whole look, Art stick in Sunset orange. Underneath I applied an Aqua lip pencil from Make-up Forever in 17 c. No gloss for a modern look.

I think you will agree, Katie looks incredible and I can't wait to see rest of the official photos!

PHP Fatal Error

A fatal error has occured during the attempt to resize the "https://tinabrocklebank.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Facetune_11-08-2018-12-08-26-scaled.jpg" image.

Possible causes and their solutions (in the order of occurence) are:

Your webserver has low PHP memory limit.
Locate "php.ini" file on your webserver and change "memory_limit" variable to at least "128MB" or ideally "256MB". If you do not know how this works, ask your hosting company to do this for you.
Your webserver does not have the "GD" PHP extension installed or is using a wrong version that is incompatible with the version of PHP that your webserver is running. It is a necessary PHP extension that allows image resizing.
Ask your hosting company to install the "GD" PHP extension on your webserver.
The image that you have uploaded and tried to resize is too large. This can be stressful on your webserver.
Reupload the image with smaller dimensions and size. We don't recommend uploading images larger than 2000x2000px and with size no more than 2MB.
You are resizing the image to a very large resolution like 2000x2000px and larger. This can be stressful on your webserver.
Do not resize images to resolutions larger than 2000x2000px.
The /wp-content/uploads/freshizer/ directory does not exist on your webserver.
Using your favorite FTP program, manually create this directory and set it's permissions to 0644.
Your webserver has (almost) no disk space left.
Double-check if there is enough free space left on your webserver disk.
