Meet the Artist Behind the Glow
I’m Heather—makeup artist, iced coffee enthusiast, and quiet beauty rebel. I believe looking good shouldn't feel like a performance. It should feel like pulling on your favorite linen dress: easy, effortless, totally you.
From my cozy studio in NW Austin, I help women glow in their own way—whether it’s for a branding shoot, a big moment, or just because. If you love golden hour light, secondhand treasures, and a little shimmer in your step, we’ll get along just fine.
Welcome to where beauty slows down—and breathes.
We’re celebrating what’s real.
This isn’t about creating a new face.
It’s about tuning in—to your features. With calm guidance and artfully intuitive artistry, you’ll walk away feeling confident, comfortable, and (honestly?) more like yourself than ever.
Effortless glow, simplified.
All you have to do is show up—I’ll take it from there.

You’re here because you want makeup that actually makes sense—something designed for real people and real moments, big or small.
This isn’t “Instagram makeup.” It’s beauty that reflects your face and the day that comes with it.
Standing in front of your makeup drawer wondering why nothing feels quite right? I’ll help you make sense of it, one step at a time.
Planning your wedding? You’re dreaming of a calm morning, a soft glow, and makeup that lets you shine through.
Getting ready for a brand shoot? You want to look confident on camera—without looking like someone else.
This is beauty that feels like home—grounded, glowy, and made to move with your real life.

The absolutely best hair and makeup experience I've ever had! For someone who hardly wears make up you made me feel so comfortable and beautiful without being over done. Even the lip color at the end I couldn't believe how much I loved it!! You did such an amazing job!

My makeup consultation was so much fun! Heather is delightful and very knowledgeable. She created a new look for me that made me feel energized and more like myself today. She is a great instructor, passing along her experienced wisdom/technique in a way that I can easily understand and feel ready to reproduce on my own with some home practice.
My makeup consultation was so much fun!

I have made a personal commitment to use #donoharmbeauty to effect change in the world.
All of the makeup I use is cruelty-free. Always.
Not only do I meticulously research and choose furry-friend friendly products for your beauty experience, but I also give back a portion of my profits to an animal charity that protects animals from cruelty, exploitation, and other abuses. I choose to do this for all the living creatures who don't get a choice.

I love animals, and I think it’s an atrocity that 500,000 animals are harmed and killed each year for the sake of cosmetics testing. This does not have to happen.
That’s why all of the makeup I use is cruelty-free. Always.
