Meltproof Bridal/wedding day make-up by Tina Brocklebank.

Wedding season is in full swing and this weekend is busy, busy.  I am so lucky, I get to meet such lovely people and work in such beautiful venues too!  This weekend I have had 3 weddings on.  Last weekend I had the pleasure of working at The White Heather.  Crystal has got married abroad and had her reception here, so I went to do her make-up for her.  I had met Crystal about 5 years ago when she was a bridesmaid for one of her friends...now, it was her turn!

See the photo below, (photography by James Green.) James is a great photographer and I love working with him, he always produces such great images.  Here I used the fantastic Bobbi Brown Long-wear foundations, as it was so hot! so I had to use long-lasting formulations for both the base and eyes.  I could afford to go quite a bit darker than usual, as Crystal had a great tan!  I could also use much richer shades on the eyes, cheeks and lips, as you can see.  She looked stunning.

I am still loving writing my regular column for the Journal magazine, my next column is all about make-up brushes so keep an eye out for that!

I also have a few other exciting projects up and coming, so I will keep you posted on that too!

Smokey eyes...

Special occasion make-up, etc.

I had another very busy weekend last weekend - I also had the pleasure of doing 2 lovely ladies' special occasion make-ups for an evening wedding reception, as she had got married abroad.  Kelly wanted a Kim Kardashian look so I knew I could really go for it with the make-up and contouring.  I used lots of different products, including Make-up forever, Mac, Bobbi Brown, Louise Young, Tom Ford and Illamasqua, (see photo.)  I also used some beautiful false eyelashes from Mac.

I have another very busy weekend ahead of me again, with 3 weddings on.  Wedding season is in full effect!  I am soon to be travelling to Stoke and also the beautiful Walcott Hall in Alkborough.

I hope you are having a fantastic Summer! I will write a blog soon about meltproof make-up I think!

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.

The Wedding Journal 2013.

Enquiries have been coming in thick and fast and I am very busy at the moment with wedding make-up trials, for Brides, bridesmaids and Mother of the Brides, etc!  I am also very busy with teenage make-up lessons, (however, I only recommend make-up on teenage girls from the age of 16.)  I feel that any younger is not appropriate.  Even the 16 year old girls really need minimal make-up.  Its strange isn't it, we want to look older when we are young then young when we are old!!
Easter was a very busy time for me - I did a lovely wedding in Woodhall Spa and stayed at the beautiful Petwood hotel.  The Bride was getting married at The Dower house hotel, a very beautiful place.  I had 7 ladies make-ups to do...so timings were of the essence!  However, I have managed to do 10 ladies make-ups before in one sitting...so it can be done!
This weekend takes me to the beautiful Wood hall spa and hotel in Wetherby for 5 ladies, I love getting to see all these beautiful old buildings and it is an  honour sharing someones' special day with them.
I have also finally got round to ordering a new personalised make-up chair for my make-up studio...I have wanted one for years!  I will post up a photo soon!  I have also been ordering lots of new make-up for my clients to try from Daniel Sandler, Illamasqua, Shu Uemura and my fave - Bobbi Brown!!  I also love using Louise Young - the smokey eye palette is amazing!
I am also looking forward to doing a day course soon for a make-up artist who has trained with Pixiwoo, she is coming all the way from Suffolk to train with me, and I am looking forward to helping her out and showing her a few tricks of the trade!
Anyway, please feel free to e-mail me with any questions - as you know, I love raving on about make-up!

February 2013 make-up column in the Journal by Tina Brocklebank Make-up artist.

When ladies book a make-up session with me, more often than not, most ladies are very concerned about their looks.  They feel under constant pressure to look good, however, most ladies struggle with where to start with make-up and skincare.  This is where I can help them with my 24 years of experience.   But to quote Bobbi Brown, "All it takes is the right tools, products and a bit of knowledge."

Most ladies haven't a clue about make-up, afterall, we haven't been taught at school have we, how to make the best of ourselves! That is something instilled into us from a young age either from our parents or siblings, or maybe as we get older we take an interest in enhancing our appearance, however, sometimes we are advised wrongly, hence those tell-tale marks around the jawline from the wrong foundation shades or too much eye make-up or incorrect lip colour.
I have lots of bookings for this year and 2014 already and also a few new projects up my sleeve too so watch this space!  Meanwhile, if you do fancy booking in for a make-up lesson feel free to contact me and I will be happy to assist you.  I am also running a competition on Facebook, where you can win a make-up  lesson with me, you need to join the event and also comment on my page to be in with a chance of winning.  Good luck, Tina x
