Heather

I’m Heather — your over-40 beauty minimalist and educator, guiding women toward calm, intuitive beauty since 2013.

Around here, we keep things simple, honest, and human.
No pressure. No perfection culture. No overdone makeup.

Just a grounded approach that enhances what’s already there and brings out the softness, freshness, and light you’ve been missing. The kind that makes you feel at home in your own skin again.

I help women feel like themselves again. confident, refreshed, and beautifully real.

Makeup Artist & Beauty Education AUstin, TX

Soft, polished and elevated natural beauty. 

For over ten years, I’ve helped women feel at home in their own faces again — with makeup that feels natural, elevated, and easy to repeat… and with space for the real conversations we all have about beauty and aging.

Some women come in for a fresh everyday look.
Some come in because they’re tired and need someone calm to take over.
Some come in because the mirror hasn’t felt kind in a while.

Wherever you’re starting, I’m right there with you.

My work brings together intuitive artistry, thoughtful product choices, and gentle self-image support — so you leave feeling brighter, clearer, and beautifully yourself.

Who I am behind the brush

Welcome to my cozy little corner of Austin, TX where it’s just you, me, and the makeup.

There’s soft light, a comfy chair, and usually a seasonal Frappuccino nearby. I keep the studio simple and relaxing on purpose. No salon chaos. No rushing. No pressure. And yes… hugs are given out here. The real kind, not the awkward kind.

We talk, we take our time, and the whole experience feels human and easy.

You’ll walk out feeling refreshed and a little more like yourself.

That’s always the goal.

Your skin’s comfort, safety, and care are at the heart of everything I do.

While Texas doesn’t require makeup artists to be licensed, I’ve chosen to maintain my credentials as a licensed esthetician, with training and licensing rooted in Alabama and kept active here in Texas. Makeup artistry falls under the cosmetology board where I trained — and that foundation continues to guide how I work today.

Every product, brush, and technique I use is selected with intention. Clean practices, thoughtful sanitation, and skin-first choices aren’t an add-on here — they’re the baseline.

With my background and experience, you can relax knowing your skin is cared for from start to finish — calmly, safely, and without shortcuts.

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.
