An introduction to A Touch of Magic
Make-up and Nails
My name is Helen Younger, I am a qualified make-up artist and I started A
Touch of Magic Make-up and Nails in 1997. I work from my studio in Boxmoor, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire and travel
to clients' weddings around the country to give them the make-up they require. I aim to offer my clients a very
personal service. I specialise in make-up, nails (both natural and Bio Scuplture gels) and pedicures.
Make-up
My
make-up training started in 1992 in London with Linda Meredith who was an inspiration. I then went to the London College of
Fashion to expand my knowledge. In more recent years I have carried on my training with courses in Fashion and Photographic
make-up. It is important to keep up with the new products and trends.
I use MAC make-up as I find I can always rely on the make-up for the longevity needed for wedding
and special occasion make-up. I have also started using Jane Iredale mineral make-up which gives beautiful skin coverage.
I do, of course, have a variety of other professional and High Street brands to suit everyone's needs.
Nails
My training for nails started
in 1990. I have used many different products and have found that Bio Sculpture gel nails are the kindest to the natural nail
and give a beautiful finish. I also offer manicures and pedicures using OPI products.
