Tina Brocklebank met with Paul Herrington in August 2009 - Bobbi Brown's head of artistry in the UK - and had a masterclass with him - she picked up lots of new tips and wants to share them with you to help with your Wedding Make-Up.
Use the Bobbi Brown Oil cleanser - use only 1 pump as it removes any waterproof mascara too.
Keep the Bobbi Brown Soothing face tonic in the fridge - it is very refreshing and smells beautiful.
Bobbi Brown Intensive skincare supplement – this works 7 layers down and has instant results! Apply 2-3 drops morning and night and say hello to radiance. Great for Brides on the lead up to their big day.
Bobbi Brown vitamin enriched face base – use this as a primer and moisturizer, it is oil free, suitable for all skin types, except for very dry. Warm in fingertips first, and apply only a small amount, you do not want any oil on the surface of the skin as the make-up will just slide off!
Bobbi Brown hydrating eye-cream – smooth this under the eye to prep under the eye area and prevent creasing, it ensures smooth application of concealer and foundation.
Bobbi Brown “Extra” range is for extra dry skin/mature skin.
Concealer – the B.B concealers and foundations come in same shades so it is easy to pick out and choose. Kim Cattrall is a fan. Apply concealer first under the eye area using the concealer brush, apply in the deepest part of the eye area underneath, using one shade lighter than your foundation, the same shade if you are trying to cover a blemish.
Use the foundation stick on red/pink areas of the face, usually the centre. You can use a dampened latex wedge sponge/fingers or for heavier coverage, a foundation brush. For liquid, use fingers/sponge.
Don’t powder the cheeks until last “lose the shine but keep the glow”.
Blusher and lips – these are the most important products, the rest of the face comes together after applying these 2. Tap the cheeks to indicate what colour you should go for.
Blush – Use cream on the apples of the cheeks, using fingers and blush brush up to hairline, use cream pot rouge on lips too if required.
For honeymoons the essentials are : foundation, pot rouge, gloss, tinted moisturizer.
Shimmer bricks – give a lovely sheen, use high on the cheekbone. Can be used as eyeshadow too.
Nude make-up lip colour – Sandwash pink – amazing on everyone.
The Bone cream eyeshadow stays on forever, use finger to apply up to brow.
Using eyeshadow brush, use a mid-tone shade, (maple) on the lid and into the crease and slightly above, blend.
To give depth, use Chino eyeshadow in the socket – mistake proof.
Caviar (shadow) – can be used dry on lash-line.
To apply on the lash line – mark the point where you want to go at the end, and start from the inside corner and using the fine eyeliner brush, sweep across the lash-line, ending at the point where you have marked. This technique “pops” the eye.
Mascara – Wiggle the wand to the base, this ensures there will be no clumps.
If you want to change your make-up look quickly, you don’t have to remove all your make-up, take off your lipstick and use a deeper lip/metallic lip. Great tip for moving your wedding make up from day to evening.
Bobbi Brown – Crystal gloss is great as it has no tackiness and stays on for a long time.
Thanks for those tips Tina!

Testimonial about Tina's make up from Rebecca Hargadon
Tina is a true professional, she did an outstanding job when doing the make-up for our Miss Grimsby Telegraph contestants. They all looked stunning and loved their make-up. I received many comments about how great the contestants make-up was. I would thoroughly recommend Tina, she is very talented. I would not hesitate to use her again in the future.
