Beautiful new makeup studio for Gemma Clark

As some of you already may know, I decided to move the location of my makeup studio from Redcar to Stokesley earlier this year. I had been working from my Redcar base for over 2 years but it felt like the right time to move to create a nicer client experience overall. Stokesley is a pretty market town with lots of lovely small businesses and eating places for those who are travelling to appointments with others – there is plenty close by to keep them occupied while your appointment takes place and the parking is free on the high street...

Gemma Clark delighted to win her 23rd award for services in the Makeup Artist industry

It’s been an incredible couple of weeks celebrating 10 years in the makeup business – winning 3 new industry awards. 23 industry awards feels like a huge milestone marker of which I am incredibly proud of. I work solo in my business and have built it up from being a complete beginner. Running a business is highly rewarding (especially when it comes to moments like this) but it doesn’t come without it’s challenges. You learn to not only use the skills for the service you provide (being a Makeup Artist), but you learn how to become an accountant, a PR...

Gym girlies – No makeup look – Part 1

To the gym girlies who can’t stand the thought of working out without some makeup on, the natural “no makeup” makeup look is for you. For a natural, no makeup look in the gym focus on creating a healthy base and minimal products, that will enhance your features without looking heavy. It is really important for your skin health to avoid exercising without too much makeup on – to allow your skin to breathe. Blocking your pores with sweat and makeup will likely cause a break out. The whole “clean girl” era is all about focussing on creating a minimal...

Bridal Makeup Inspiration 2025

My top bridal makeup predictions for 2025

Bridal makeup should never be about trends in my opinion. I am all about timeless, beautiful glam makeup rather than makeup styles trending on TikTok etc. However, bridal makeup for this year is definitely showing signs of a more stripped back, fresh aesthetic.

I love the newly announced Mocha Mousse tone – its absolutely perfect inspiration for year round bridal makeup. There is not a single...

My top 5 tips for beautiful makeup on mature skin

It’s no secret that doing makeup on mature skin is one of my favourite parts of my job as a Makeup Artist. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a visible shift in confidence when showing a client their makeup after it’s been applied. Quite often clients who are aged 40 and upwards have been bringing up children and grandchildren and spend years looking after everyone else leaving themselves little time to indulge in themselves. Within this timeframe, its very common to get stuck in a rut with makeup or even stop wearing it all together. Some women lose confidence...
