    Sunbeams and faux freckles

    Holy [email protected] this is a close up and a half... but you know I’m all about showing real skin and unedited makeup as much as possible so I’ll just embrace the 30-something years staring back because it is what it is 😄

    So following on from yesterday’s quick reel of this look, here is a slightly longer version showing all products and stages. Some of these products were #gifted PR packages, thank you ❤️

    Despite initially reservations of trying a vivid yellow eyeshadow with my pale skin, I absolutely LOVE it. I’ll be wearing it more often...

    So, another blow tonight for myself, my colleagues, my friends, my clients... we’re all really fed up... but we need to do whatever it takes to get some normality back. So I’m staying positive all the way from now on... 🙏 But I still felt like I needed something to brighten my mood so only beautiful Coco and a blast of Aerosmith would do...

I try not to be suckered in to cosmetics because o I try not to be suckered in to cosmetics because of the packaging but @patmcgrathreal really takes the crown when it comes to luxurious beauty appeal. The gold lips, the red case 😍❤️💋 The gorgeousness doesn’t end at the packaging… the eyeshadow palettes are probably my favourite ever… and more recently I’ve been wearing the Sublime Perfection foundation which just feels like a delicious second skin (perfect for me as a minimal makeup wearer). I’ll share more about the foundation soon. These stunning lipsticks are now a firm favourite in my kit and my handbag. Super highly pigmented, the pay off is worth the pennies!

It’s an amazing feeling to be looking at my diar It’s an amazing feeling to be looking at my diary and seeing weddings booked in over the next few weekends (and busier still from July with 2 or 3 a week some weeks). Although new bookings have been filling dates in the diary for 2021/22/23 and it’s lovely to be rescheduling Covid-postponed dates in 2022 back to this year! I’ve been loving my bridal trials over the last few weeks... I think bridal parties just want a celebration and are excited to have physical wedding appointments to attend rather than just online/phone calls... One more little step on the roadmap out of Corona-hell and we’re almost there! Stay positive! 🙏🙌 Image @megandaisyphotography Makeup @gemmarimmingtonhmua Dress @ritvawestenius Hair @alisonrjenner Model @sarahlangley._ #uxurybride #weddingmua #weddinglook #bridaldiaries #bridallook #weddingmakeupartist #bridemakeupartist #bridalmua #bridalmakeup #bridalmakeupartist #wedding #weddingmakeup #weddingmakeupartist #bridalgoals #weddingvibes #bridal #bridalmakeuplook #brideofthedaycreated #bridetobe #happybride #bridalcouture #bridaldiaries #weddingdayready #makeupartistworldwide #flawlessmakeup #redcarpetinspired #luxurybridalmakeup #luxurywedding #beautifulskin #closeup #makeupbyme #GemmaRimmington
“Thank you for yesterday - I had the best time, “Thank you for yesterday - I had the best time, and my husband absolutely loved the new look!!” Some lovely feedback from a 1:1 makeup lesson earlier this week... This lady was gifted a makeup lesson from her family as she wanted to learn how to apply her own makeup after getting out of the habit/being stuck in a rut... My tailored makeup 1:1 lessons are very popular with novice makeup wearers and those who love makeup but have no idea how to apply it, which products to use where, struggle with knowing which brushes/tools to use etc. Lessons can be booked via my booking tool on my social media and my website 💋 . . #Makeupartist #freelancelife #redcarpetinspired #makeuplessons #destinationmakeupartist #makeupeducator #learnyourownface #luxurymakeup #GemmaRimmington #awardwinningmakeupartist #makeuptutorials #guisborough #makeup1to1 #creativecommunity #womeninbusiness #womenpower #positivevibes #love #gratitude #supportsmallbusiness #successmindset #youareabadass #entrepreneurlife #hersuccess #shemeansbusiness #laptoplifestyle #makeupforrealwomen #makeuptips #beautybloggers #makeuplessonsavailable
So I’m absolutely in love with my @moschino shoe So I’m absolutely in love with my @moschino shoes... they were too pretty not to buy (and they have red lips like my logo... almost meant to be!)... I’ve been making big changes to my purchases recently. I’ve been buying less frequently, avoiding fast fashion where possible (I tend to avoid fashion trends anyway if I’m honest... I swing between classic or one-off/customised by small businesses) and when I have wanted to buy a statement piece, I haven’t felt too guilty as I’m buying pieces that will last due to quality fabrics etc. So while a little splurge here and there might seem indulgent, I’m spending less in the long run due to less frequent spending and enjoy customising jackets, tops and buying from independent brands when I can. I have also been donating a huge amount of clothes and household goods to a local women’s refuge charity... clothes I haven’t worn for a while (some at all, with tags on!). Due to the pressures of lockdown, the refuge was in great need of donations for families fleeing desperate situations. It made me feel better passing on nice quality clothes to someone who would really appreciate them rather than selling for pocket money on eBay etc. I’m loving how sustainability is becoming more at the forefront of people’s minds. Passing clothes on, investing in quality pieces, supporting indie brands... If there is anyone local to me who has nice quality items that they no longer need (clothes for families, books, blankets etc) I’m happy for you to drop them off and I’ll take them to the refuge ❤️ . . . . . #moschino #fashiongram #couture #fashionsustainability #recyclingclothes #customising #consciousfashion #qualityfashion #fastfashiondetox #clothesforlife #fashioninspiration #gemmarimmingtonmakeupartist #gemmarimmington #lips #beauty #makeupartist #guisborough #clothesdonation #sustainablefashion
