Collin Resultime.

I kindly got sent a mini-facial kit from Collin Resultime, and so set to work using it recently.

Jessica Biel is a big fan of this Parisian skincare brand who specialise in anti-ageing products.

I was impressed with the quality of the ingredients and the packaging too.  I particularly liked the deep cleansing scrub, eye cream and both of the moisturisers - my skin was left smoother and more hydrated...plus I loved pampering myself!  I would definatley recommend these products to all of my clients, particularly if they would like to get their skin to look its best, ready for a special occasion.

Their new website is set to launch 14th of December 2012, so have a look at the website -http://www.collinresultime.co.uk/ and try out these great products, your skin will definatley thank you for it.

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!

Tina Brocklebank Make-up artist studio.

Make-up studio in Lincolnshire.

Aswell as providing a mobile make-up artist service, I am based at my own make-up studio in Lincolnshire.  This is where I do my make-up lessons/make-up trials.  My make-up kit consists of only the best products and tools- Bobbi Brown, MAC, Illamasqua, Make-up Forever, Stila, Cover FX, Becca, Real Techniques, Louise Young, Shu Uemura, etc, etc!!

If you require false eyelashes, I prefer to use the full-strip type - Mac, Shu Uemura, Ardell and Eylure.  However, I do have individual false lashes too by Liz Martin.
With my experience, knowledge and products I can create any look that is required.

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!

November - Journal article (Foundations), by Tina Brocklebank Make-up artist.

I am really enjoying writing my columns for the Journal magazine.  Laura Stuart-Cooke has breathed new life into this glossy, high-end Lincolnshire magazine and it is jam-packed full of great articles, including Charlotte Hays' regular columns too.  Charlotte is a Lincolnshire-based stylist and is set to launch new brand Stella&Alf with designer Paris Hodson.  The Stella&Alf capsule collection - which will be made of natural fabrics in a neutral colour palette - will be available to buy online from www.stellaandalf.co.uk in early 2013.

In my November column, I talk about the struggles of finding the right foundation for a lot of women, how to find the right one for you, different types and also what my faves are. Please feel free to contact me if you would like me to cover anything in my columns, make-up wise - enquiries@tinabrocklebank.co.uk
I have also been on the look-out for a suitable model, as I am going to be doing a promo-video for my website so if you know anyone please get in touch.  Models must be over 16, have great skin and ideally have some modelling experience, however, it is not compulsory.  This will be shot at the end of November 2013.
I have had such a busy 2012 with lots of bookings for 2013 (and 2014!), so please get in touch soon to check availability/ if you would like me to do your make-up for you!
My next column for December for the Journal will be about easily transforming your day look into an evening look, ready for the party season.

Becca shimmering skin perfector

Becca shimmering skin perfector

Becca shimmering skin perfector - I have been a huge fan of this wonder product for a very long time.  I have just purchased the new shade "Moonstone" and used to have "Opal."  As my skin is naturally fair I personally prefer to add warmth to my skin and I find that Opal is actually better for this, Moonstone is infact a mixture of Pearl and Opal.  I still love this product and love the packaging too, which comes with a great little pump which dispenses a small amount of product in your hand, which is all you need.  This product smells great too and not only does it give a lovely pearlised, soft glow it has the added benefit of having a SPF 25. You can mix with your normal foundation if you wish or you can just add to the areas of your face which you want a bit of a sheen/highlight, which is very youthful and flattering, creating a lovely glow using light reflecting particles.  I purchased my product from www.gorgeousshop.co.uk and was priced £26.40 for 50 ml.  I will continue to use this product!

Bobbi Brown - Long-wear even finish foundation

Bobbi Brown Long-wear even finish foundation.

Bobbi Brown Long-wear even finish foundations £30 (30 ml), - As you may know I am a HUGE Bobbi Brown fan! I have just recently updated my kit (again!) with these foundations.  I get through lots of bottles of foundation, and I do find that this foundation is the best as in ease of application, (you must prep the skin well and moisturise beforehand.)  texture of the product and shades, also how long it lasts, as it promises 12 hours!  Obviously, a product is going to last alot better if you prepare your skin and apply in light layers.  I also recommend using a small amount of loose powder, just to ensure it lasts too.  This is great as it gives the skin a lovely natural looking base and is light-weight.  However, as this product is oil-free, I wouldn't recommend using it if you have dry skin.  This product does exactly what it promises to do and is a staple in my make-up kit, great for Brides and also a great product for everyday wear.  I like to apply this with a damp sponge and then blend in with my fingers or a Real Techniques buffing brush.
