Happy New Year to you!
I am excited to say I have been shortlisted for "Best Bridal Beauty" for the U.K Wedding awards! I would be very grateful if you would vote for me, thank you so much x http://www.hitched.co.uk/awards/vote
Merry Christmas and a Happy new year!
Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I hope you are all winding down a bit, ready for the Christmas break?! I have a few bookings this week for make-up lessons to do and then a wedding this weekend at Hemswell court, and then that is me done this year! Back to work on the 2nd of January 2019! and then my first wedding is at the end of January 2019!
Limited availability for weddings for 2019 and taking bookings for 2020!
Just to remind those of you that may not have taken advantage of the £30 off promotion and wanted to:- The offer ends at the end of this week, the 21st of December, that is the last day that the discount will be applied, (so a lesson will be £120.) After that the price will go back to the usual price of £150 for a makeup lesson. Please contact me if you would like to book in, (full payment would be required), or if you would like to purchase a Gift voucher. The last date to send out would be the 21st of December though.
I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy, healthy and peaceful New Year. I would also like to thank you all for subscribing to my Blog, I have been overwhelmed with the response!
Have a lovely Christmas time and enjoy spending time with your loved ones x x x
Make-up artist shenanigans...
Thank you to all who have signed up for e-mails. I have been very busy booking some of you in for the discounted make-up lessons, and also doing the lessons too.
Don't forget these need to be booked in before the 21st of December, and as long as they are done before the 29th of March 2019, that is fine, as then I will be busy with wedding make-up and trials.
As this has been so successful, there is now very limited availability for this promotion, so when they are gone they are gone and lessons will go back to the original price of £150! I also offer Gift vouchers too, so will make a lovely gift, and these have been hugely popular too. For those of you who have contacted me to say you would like to book in but haven't paid yet, just to remind you, I cannot hold any appointments without the deposit, so if I haven't got this, then I am afraid the appointment suggested will not be honoured and be given to someone else.
Just to update you on what I have been getting up to - I have been keeping busy with a lot of make-up lessons and quite a few weddings still too, I have even got wedding bookings right up to December, so I have still been doing lots of make-up trials and then obviously I do these 3 months before the actual wedding day, so for Spring weddings I have been doing a few too.
I recently had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Samantha on her make-up lesson, and I showed her a variety of looks, (this is not the "standard" lesson by the way.)
I will show the other looks on my before and after page! I was inspired by one of my favourite make-up books by Keyvn Aucoin, The art of make-up.
I was honoured to be selected as one of the top wedding Make-up artists in the U.K here is the link - https://www.gohen.com/blog/uks-top-50-wedding-make-up-artists-2018/6/
"Tina's ethos is "less is more" and "why would you want to look like anyone else?" It is on that basis that she helps highlight her Brides' true beauty without hiding a Bride under layers of make-up. This has served Tina and her hundreds of Brides well, and her glowing reviews are testament to her fab service!"
I will be hopefully uploading more blog posts soon so I hope you won't mind, although, please bear with me! x

Just an update too about my Loyalty scheme, Make-up lesson promotion - There is still time to book for the £30 off, as long as you buy the lesson before the 21st of December, (£120, as opposed to £150.)
I am still busy with weddings at the moment, travelling all around Lincolnshire and beyond! Limited availability for 2019 and bookings now being taken for 2020.
Thank you for reading my blog,
Tina x
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!

I have a list of all who have subscribed so far. I am calling this my Loyalty scheme.
This means they can then apply for a £30 discount for a make-up lesson! (usually priced at £150, so the lesson in total will be £120.) This is for a limited period of time only and I only have a limited number of lessons I can offer for this promotion, so when they are gone, they are gone!
You can still subscribe to be eligible, but this offer will end on the 21st of December 2018. Should you have a problem subscribing, please just fill in an enquiry form via my website, (under Contact me) or email me – tina@tinabrocklebank.co.uk with all of the details below –
Name, telephone number, address, a brief description of what makeup lesson you are after, (e.g, day makeup) and roughly when you would like the lesson, (don’t worry if you don’t know at this stage.) I will send you my bank details to pay via BACS.
Once I have checked you have subscribed, you can then go on to pay your £120, (please remember to use your name as reference.) I will email you to confirm.
Please note, this cannot be used towards any other service such as special occasion makeup or Bridal/wedding makeup.
Once you have paid, then you will need to contact me to arrange your lesson, this needs to be booked in before the 21st of December 2018. This means the lesson has to be done no later than the 29th of March 2019.
If someone you know has been harping on about a lesson with me, then this is the time to buy it! (especially with Christmas only 4 months away, can you believe that!?) If you would like this as a present, then I can send out one of my make-up lesson vouchers so they have it in time for then.
I have provided hundreds of lessons for ladies over the years, of all ages and ethniticies, teenagers to ladies in their 90’s. I love helping people to not only look their best, but feel their best.
A 1 hour bespoke make-up lesson with me at my studio includes the following –
The lesson begins with a chat about what exactly you require from the session and what kind of makeup look you are after. I can then adapt the lesson to your requirements and needs. Your photo is then taken, (usually with your own make-up on). Tina then discusses skincare and will advise on the best skincare for you and your make-up. Skin prep is so important!
I then go through each step, from foundation to lipstick. It is a really fun session and you can ask as many questions as you like throughout the lesson.
At the end of the lesson, your photo will be taken again with your make-up applied by me. You will also be given a personalised face chart and product list so you can go online and order anything you like that I have recommended or used.
I will then email you your before and after photograph together with your make-up procedure so you can practise your make-up at home. (*Please note, there is no pressure to have your photo on social media and I respect your wishes if you decide not.)
There is limited availability for appointments and once these places have gone, they are gone! so get in touch to avoid disappointment.
I look forward to hearing from you! I have my make-up brushes and kit all ready and raring to go! x

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!

Wedding/bridal make-up
I had the pleasure of being the lovely Lindsey's Make-up artist today, for her wedding today at The Brackenborough hotel, Louth. Lindsey had booked me well in advance, about 2 years prior to her wedding day as she was set on me being her Make-up artist, so I was very flattered!
Lindsey loves make-up and so I wasn't afraid to go to work, and really accentuate her lovely features.
She has lovely skin and I like to really let the skin glow through the make-up, I don't like to see heavy make-up, especially on a Bride.
A smokey eye was achieved by using the Charlotte Tilbury Rock chick palette and then amazing sparkle by using the Stila magnificent metals eyeshadow in Smoky storm over the top. False lashes were used of course!
For cheeks I used a Bobbi Brown pot rouge and then on the top of the cheekbones I used the Charlotte Tilbury Bar of gold highlighter, to create that lovely sheen.
Lips - I used Charlotte Tilbury Pink venus lip pencil and then Hollywood lips in Platinum blonde, finished with gloss in Blondie pink.
I think you will agree, she looks absolutely beautiful and was an absolute pleasure to work with.
I also had the pleasure of doing her Mum's and her sister's make-up, (not shown.)
Before and after makeup.
Bridal makeup by Tina Brocklebank Make-up artist, Lincolnshire.
Beautiful Bride, Hayley.
I had the pleasure of being Make-up artist to Hayley, Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom plus 5 Bridesmaids this weekend!
It was an early start for a 3 pm wedding. The venue was The Orangery, Settrington, North Yorkshire. I haven't worked there before, it was absolutely stunning!
A woodland walk to The Orangery.
Hayley and her wedding party got ready at the nearby cottage which is right next to a quaint little church and then The Orangery is next to that. It is a family that own the estate and they live on the grounds too. Apparently they only take on a few weddings each year and places are very limited, it is very exclusive.
Beautiful Bridesmaids at The Orangery, Settrington.
Hayley is a dance teacher and is used to and loves make-up, she wasn't afraid of a little bit more make-up than what she would usually wear for daytime.
I absolutely loved doing her make-up as she has the most gorgeous big eyes and skin to die for!
I used mainly Bobbi Brown products to even out her skin, eye makeup was kept neutral and I added some long, wispy false eyelashes from Ardell which complimented her big eyes and made them the focal point.
I love to see freckles through foundation, I don't personally like to see a thick layer of foundation, especially on a young lady, I don't think it looks very nice and it is just not needed. Everything was kept light and classic. I added some cream blush and a smidge of highlighter. For lips I used a nude pink shade from Charlotte Tilbury, (after the wedding Josh, the Groom said that he was impressed with the lipstick as it didn't come off when he kissed her!)
Hayley sent me a message the day after the wedding to say how much she loved her makeup and how it lasted all evening without one make-up re-touch!
My Husband and I were very lucky to be invited to the wedding too and we thoroughly enjoyed it, it was really magical!
