JANUARY UPDATE!

Bit of blue start to the year for me I spent the first week pretty ill on the sofa doing what work I felt up to with a throat virus that started on new years Eve, so New year goals and resolutions were not really even considered this year it was just back to it! I had a lovely relaxing Christmas break though which was much needed.

I have now set dates for 2025 Makeup workshops as I had quite a few of you asking about dates.  These are advertised on my website www.nikimakeup.co.uk and my social media @nikimakeup. Makeup workshops are held in small groups of up to six at my home studio in Harpenden. They are a fun way to learn a natural makeup look and tweaks to make it more evening/glam in a relaxed, friendly environment. Nibbles drinks and fizz are included and a gift before you leave.  All makeup and tools are also provided and I offer lots of my pro' tips and advice throughout the two hour session.  Spaces are limited so do book in advance a £20.00 booking fee is required, the balance of £30.00 is due one week before.  

Email nikimakeup@aol.com to reserve a space or two!

I have been keeping busy with 1:1 Makeup lessons, pre-wedding trials and a couple of shoots as well.

I also had my first wedding of 2025 at Tewinbury Bury Farm https://www.tewinbury.co.uk, one of my favourite local venues.  It was a freezing cold day at the beginning of January but it looked picture perfect!

I have spent a lot of time hibernating in the warm with my new pup, watching tv and eating! We enjoyed The Avicii - I'm Tim and Helmut Newton The Bad & the Beautiful documentaries on Apple TV.  The return of Dragons Den is always a must watch for me, I am just waiting for the return of The Apprentice now! January is not the month for me in fact neither is February ...note to self book a Carribean holiday for January 2026!  Anyone who knows me knows I hate winter with all my being, I belong in a warm sunny place...thanks Spain for making it harder and harder for us Brits to live there! Roll on Spring and please let us have a great summer this year after last years non-existent one and a freezing winter I think we definitely deserve it! Anyway moan over!  I am looking forward to two lovely weddings in February back at Tewinbury farm for one and at beautiful Huntsmill farm https://huntsmillweddings.co.uk for the other.  Its also my husbands birthday so we are looking forward to celebrating!
