With a bevy of beautiful models, colourful make-up displays, chic furnishings, and quaint decor; Racquel J Make-Up Studio opened up with a bang and certainly in fine style recently at their new location at Suite 3, Pinnacle Pointe, 53 Lady Musgrave Road.

With the signature drink of the night named after Racquel Jenkins Moss-Solomon, owner and CEO, the 'Racquel J Cosmo' was certainly reminiscent of the woman of the evening.

Having relocated from Eden Gardens, formerly 'Permanent Cosmetics Studio and Boutique', the night was not only dedicated to the grand opening, but was also used to celebrate their 10th anniversary.

The night saw a constant and steady flow of well-wishers, customers, and sponsors turning up to check out the new and chic location.

The first to introduce intradermal pigmentation procedures to the island in 2002, their new location offers more space and a chance to accommodate more customers. An excited Stephanie Bryan, manager and senior make-up artist, told Today that the larger space was the main reason for the move. "We are very hopeful that things will be successful, and we have had an influx of new costumers since we moved in December. We are offering some new services as well, as we have a small boutique going with designs from Custo Barcelona, Young Broke and Fabulous, and Carlton Designs."

Raquel J Make-up Studio offers bridal, fashion, editorial, fantasy and themed make-up, Semi permanent eyelash extensions, and permanent make-up services. They are also the exclusive Caribbean distributors for Eve Pearl Cosmetics as well as other brands that include Scott Barnes' Body Bling, Make up For Ever, and Nuskin.

They have added to their list of services model scouting, grooming and development, which will allow them to operate as a mother agency for local models, as well as athlete public relations management. They, at the moment, represent Kerron Stewart and Melaine Walker on all matters relating to appearances and endorsements through their Image Matters brand.
