Bridal makeup perfect for the modern bride

Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life. You will want to feel and look the best version of yourself and my bridal style is very much influenced from beautiful red carpet looks.  I create bespoke looks, tailored especially to each individual.  Reflecting your personality, enhancing your natural features and makeup that feels wearable is my overall aim.

Gemma Rimmington – Makeup Artist of the Year Yorkshire Prestige Awards

Earlier this year, I won “Makeup Artist of the Year 2021/2022” at the Yorkshire Prestige Awards. I feel very grateful that this is my second award win this year (following Bridal Makeup Specialist 2021 at the Lux Life Global Wedding Awards). Due to Covid, I’ve had to wait until today to be presented with my award at the beautiful Hazlewood Castle. It’s always a brilliant feeling to win industry awards (this is now my 5th…. Not bad when you’re flying solo! It’s a scary thing putting your name to your business). I admire anyone who starts their own business with...

Makeup Artist of the Year – Yorkshire Prestige Awards

I am over the moon to win “Makeup Artist of the Year 2021/22” in the Yorkshire Prestige Awards. This is now my 3rd award won since the start of the Covid 19 pandemic. 5th in total since starting my Makeup Artist freelance business 6 years ago. Each award is special to me. They all represent something different. My very first one, a bridal makeup specific award, one which recognises my business ethics which I am very proud of. Of course the fact that 3 of them have come during a difficult time is particularly welcomed and appreciated. 2021 wedding season...

Brow Lamination and Lash Lift/Tint now available

I am delighted to let you know that I recently qualified in the trendy beauty treatment of the moment – Brow Lamination as well as the classic favourite loved by many – Lash Lift and Tint. Anyone who knows me will know I am not in to “trend” looks as such – unless I’m working on a photoshoot or fashion campaign. I prefer the classic, timeless beauty looks with my “real” clients. However Brow Lamination (brushed up brows) seems to be a trend that isn’t going away so I decided to complete my qualification and I am now offering this...

The perfect vegan friendly makeup brush set

If you follow me on my social media, you may have seen my recent posts about the exciting new launch of my own range of vegan friendly makeup brushes. I have been thinking about creating my own range for a while. I wanted to create a full set aimed at makeup novices and product junkies who like something pretty yet practical on their dressing table… As I offer makeup lessons, I see the struggles and often answer lots of questions around makeup brushes so it gave me lots to think about when designing my own range. So I’ll tell you...
