Locke is a hair and make-up artist based in Blackwood. She tells us: “I trained straight after A-Levels to be a theatrical and media make-up artist. I used these qualifications to do shows, face paintings and weddings alongside a full-time job as a chartered accountant. Then the time came to re-focus on my passion, so I refreshed my skills at The London School of Make-up and Izabelle Hammon. “I want to help everyone enjoy make-up and not be afraid of taking an hour or two out of their busy schedules to have a pamper session. I love to make the bride, her mum and bridesmaids feel like a million pounds and use long-wear and high-quality products to ensure they look amazing throughout the day.” We’ve teamed up with Emma to offer our readers an exclusive 20% discount off a make-up trial for the bride, which is normally priced at £50.
