Commercial/Editorial/Fashion Makeup Artist

I am a published national multi award winning Makeup Artist. 

Who am I inspired by?

I am a self confessed 1990’s beauty junkie.  I adore the makeup and styling of the supermodels of this era… Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford…

I especially love Madonna for her evolving style through the years.  From the early days of her short bleached crop, dark fluffy brows and beauty spot to her latest looks.  She is always forward thinking and enjoys experimenting.  A woman after my own heart.

In regards to creatives I am a huge fan of both Alex Box and Yvonne The Artist for their exciting makeup creations and I also love Nikki Makeup’s signature glowing skin looks which I like to incorporate in some of my own beauty work.

My work and experience

I am the Creative Beauty Director for British Muse magazine (digital and print).

Although I am a freelance makeup artist, I am also represented as a creative in the North East of the UK by TTM Management.

I am experienced in commercial, fashion and editorial styles and have had my work published in various magazines including Vogue Italia.  In 2018, I completed the highly coveted Mastered Accelerator course which is a global talent programme for creatives within the fashion industry and I was being mentored by world class industry professionals for 10 months.

I pride myself on keeping up to date with current trends from fashion runways and magazines.  I woke regularly with a team of creatives from photographers, fashion and accessories designers and stylists and experienced working under pressure to strict time lines.

I work between North East and London primarily but I am a destination Makeup Artist so I do travel for work including international trips.

If you have a concept or job you would like to discuss then  Contact me to discuss your requirements.  I do love a challenge!  You can read my client testimonials here.

Gemma Rimmington - Makeup Artist and Microblading

I absolutely love the results from todays fresh new microbladed brows 😍

Some clients come to me at consultation with a worry that they’ll end up with (let me use the common phrase) “big black slug brows”. This is not the case with my makeup style or my microblading style.

I do the “realism” technique which is lots of super fine hair strokes, resembling a naturally defined brow.

*double tap the image to zoom in and you will see how the brows are naturally filled in with tiny strokes*

If you are thinking about getting your brows summer ready, you need to start the process asap as there are 2 sessions and a healing time required to complete the process 🔥

Gemma Rimmington - Makeup Artist and Microblading

💄PRICE CHANGE NOTICE / TERMS OF BOOKING REMINDER 💄

From June 1st, there will be a change in prices for some of my makeup services (Bridal makeup bookings and makeup lessons).

To get book these services at the current price, • bridal bookings must be made by 31st May by payment of booking fee/completed booking form

• makeup lessons must be attended during the month of May, or paid in full prior to the end of May for dates beyond June 1st

If any bridal quotes have been provided by me but not yet booked, new quotes will be given if not booked by 31st May.

QUICK REMINDER FOR TERMS OF BOOKING

• All terms and conditions are outlined prior to booking on the online booking system. As such, cancellations and movements of dates mean the booking fee is forfeited and you will be asked to rebook a new appt via the booking app. The only appt this does not apply to is the microblading consultation appt as this is a free appt.

• This is to protect my income/loss of earnings in the event I turn other work away/other clients are unable to book as the slot is already taken. As a freelancer, cancellations and rearranged appts can affect my income. I have studio rent to pay as well as products to buy before I even begin to take a wage so I hope you understand my reason for needing to be strict in regards to bookings.

Thank you, Gemma ♥️💄

Gemma Rimmington - Makeup Artist and Microblading

This popped up this morning on my memories. I think Clare’s wedding might have been my very first wedding booking! What a ride!

I tried to work out how many weddings I’ve worked on so far…and as a rough guess, I’ve probably been part of around 200 location weddings (would have been more but Covid had other ideas). Now I’m catching up with 200 weddings this year 🤣

People always ask me if I get nervous about working on weddings. Absolutely not - whether I’m doing makeup in the studio, at a grand wedding venue, in your living room or on the set of a photo shoot, essentially I’m just doing my job, I know my job like you know your job.

That said, I dont think I slept for 2 weeks before my first wedding booking 🙈
