Hello there! I’m Heather, and my mission is to help you feel like the most beautiful, authentic version of yourself. Through my beauty services and makeup education, I empower women to embrace their unique features in a way that feels radiant and effortless, yet beautifully elevated. If clean and cruelty-free beauty options resonate with you, I offer those as well, so you can feel confident knowing your look aligns with your values.
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, Art by Nature magazines, and even on the set of Broken Brain. But my greatest joy comes from helping everyday women feel radiant and confident in their own skin.
From a young age, I’ve had an intuitive connection with beauty—it’s always been about what makes me feel radiant, not about trends. Now, I help other women tap into that same intuition, empowering you to trust your instincts and create a look that’s truly your own. It’s all about celebrating what makes you feel amazing, from the inside out.
Cruelty-Free Makeup Artist | Beauty Educator – Austin, TX
With a mix of intuition and creativity, I’ll craft a makeup look that enhances your natural beauty, whether you’re drawn to a bold lip or a fresh, “I just woke up looking this good” glow. My goal is to create a polished, elevated version of your beauty—using professional techniques to make you feel like the best version of yourself, without changing who you are. It’s not about replicating what you do at home, but about enhancing your features for the occasion. The result is a perfect balance—feeling special, but still completely you.
My Approach
I believe that the best beauty experiences are rooted in genuine connection and collaboration. For me, it's not just about applying makeup—it’s about building trust and ensuring you feel cared for throughout the entire process. From our first consultation to the final touch-up, my goal is to be more than just a makeup artist—I want to be part of your special occasion, like a trusted friend who’s there to support you. I take the time to create something unique for you, ensuring that your experience feels personal, unrushed, and deeply meaningful.

Signature Style
Nature-Inspired Artistry
I’m inspired by nature’s effortless beauty, and that philosophy is at the very soul of every look I create. My style is relaxed, romantic, and always connected to you—whether it’s a subtle floral detail or makeup that enhances your natural glow. Every choice, from the products I use to the details in your look, reflects my commitment to creating beauty that feels good inside and out.
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.
