Hi, I'm Heather (your biggest cheerleader)! Since 2013, I’ve worked with women across Austin, preparing them for weddings, photoshoots, and special occasions. My work has been featured in Vogue Italia, Brides of Austin, Madewell, and Art by Nature magazine and even overseas at Dutch Design week, as well as on the set of Broken Brain. But my greatest joy? Helping everyday women feel radiant and confident in their own skin. My mission is simple: to help you feel like the most beautiful, elevated version of yourself. Through personalized beauty services and makeup education, I empower women to embrace their unique features in a way that feels radiant, effortless, and beautifully elevated.
For me, beauty has always been about connection—an intuitive sense of what makes someone glow from within. It’s not about trends or following strict rules; it’s about celebrating what makes you feel amazing.
Now, I bring that same intuition to every service I offer. Whether we’re creating a polished look for an event, perfecting your routine with a makeup lesson, or preparing you for a photoshoot, my goal is to help you trust the process, embrace your unique beauty, and feel your absolute best—from the inside out.

Who I Work Best With
I believe beauty is as much about the journey as it is the result. It’s natural to feel a little nervous about trying something new, but if you’re open to sitting back, relaxing, and trusting the artistry, we’ll create something beautiful together. My services are best for women who are ready to explore fresh ideas and elevate their look. If you prefer to stick closely to your everyday routine or want full control over the process, my approach may not be the perfect fit—and that’s okay! But if you’re ready to embrace the experience and let the artistry unfold, we’re a match made in beauty heaven.
WHERE ARE YOU HANGING OUT THESE DAYS?
I absolutely love being outdoors and cranking up some tunes! It doesn't matter if I'm gathering pretty wildflowers, tending to my garden, snuggling with my pets, strolling along the lake, or dancing it out at a concert, it always feels like my happy place.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON?
Oh my gourd, autumn is the absolute best! I mean, who doesn't love the crisp air, the changing leaves, and all those warm and fuzzy vibes? And let's not forget about Halloween - it's the most wonderful time of the year! I'm seriously obsessed with all things spooky and ghoulish. Bring on the pumpkin spice, the haunted houses and true crime podcasts!

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.
