I’m Heather your over 40 beauty minimalist, a makeup artist and beauty educator helping women feel confident through effortless, intuitive beauty since 2013. We totally do things differently around here. My approach? Enhancing what’s already there and bringing it out naturally, creating fresh and soft looks with maximum impact.

I help women feel like the best version of themselves. confident, refreshed, and beautifully real.

Makeup Artist AUstin, TX

As a child, I would watch my mother primp and preen in a little brown hand mirror every morning on the back porch of our Southern Alabama home. Equipped with hot curlers, a bag of makeup, and her ambition, she would work patiently to enhance her beauty before she started her day.
There may have been a much larger mirror in the bathroom, but she knew something important that I would learn later: natural lighting is best. 

​As a teen, I began this morning ritual too. With my hot rollers, Caboodle of makeup, and determination, I became a younger version of my mother, crafting a look that made me feel my best. My beauty ritual completed, rising from that porch always felt a gulp of fresh air. I could face the day.  

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the beauty in everyday rituals.

5 quick things

Step into a calm, cozy space that feels more like a friend’s cottage than a busy salon. With scents that change each season and music that matches the mood, you’ll always be welcomed into a space that feels warm, personal, and completely yours for the time we’re together.

Studio Vibes
01

My beauty style is a little French countryside, a little porch swing, a bouquet of freshly cut garden flowers—and a whole lot of intention. It’s relaxed yet refined, with a focus on enhancing what’s already there and creating space for you to feel effortlessly beautiful, inside and out.

Iced coffee is practically a love language around here—always in hand, always with extra ice, and best enjoyed on the porch with a soft breeze and a to-do list I’m only half committed to.

My pup doesn’t come to the studio (though she’d love to!), but she’s my sweet little rescue who keeps me company behind the scenes—usually curled up by my feet while I plan lessons, test products, or sip my second iced coffee of the day.

Sidekick Status

Before becoming a makeup artist and educator, I worked in oncology urgent care, where I learned the deep power of human connection, compassion, and how beauty—even in the smallest moments—can be a source of strength. That experience still shapes the way I approach my work today: with presence, purpose, and care.

Hi, I'm Heather!

Welcome to my natural beauty corner of the internet. I'm excited you are here!

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.
