Beauty background
Helen has had a passion for beauty from a very early age. After initially studying hairdressing at college, she began her journey in the beauty industry as a skincare and makeup specialist in Selfridges. This is where she trained directly with top, industry leading brands such as Zoeva, Stila, Ole Henriksen, Too Faced, beauty blender, Rodial and many more. She also gained experience hosting A list events and leading makeup masterclasses, passing on her talent and skills to others. Helen then became a brand specialist, training the other Selfridges beauty specialists in skincare and makeup application.
Her passion and determination led to her being appointed as one of the first NYX cosmetics account managers in the uk, with the brand being exclusively available in Selfridges at the time.
From here, Helen went on to become an Assistant Business Manager for Bareminerals where she spent many years perfecting her makeup skills, and in particular gaining experience in creating the perfect bridal makeup. This was a job she absolutely loved and her professionalism and attention to fantastic customer service truly shines through!
Helen now has two young boys, which is what led her to the decision to become a freelance bridal and occasion artist, giving her the freedom to spend more time with her babies whilst still doing what she loves!
Favourite product
“My favourite product at the moment has got to be Bareminerals complexion rescue. It is such a versatile product which works beautifully on all skin types. It is amazing used under foundation to colour correct and create a flawlessly glowy
base, or used on its own it is beautifully light weight and perfect for every day wear.
An absolute must have in my makeup kit!
From the artist
“My favourite part of my job is seeing my brides right through from their makeup trial, to their big day, really getting to know them and gaining a friend as well as a client. There is no better feeling than seeing a brides face light up and her confidence soar as she looks at her reflection on her wedding day, knowing that I played a huge part in her happiness. Memories that will last a lifetime.”
