My goal? To make you feel like you—just with extra freshness and glow. I’m here to enhance what’s already there, bringing your best features forward—not changing you. My approach highlights your natural beauty, creating soft, effortless looks that feel polished but never overdone. Inspired by my love for nature and animals, I believe beauty should feel easy and kind, not complicated.

Your Over-40 Beauty Guide 
(Who Totally Gets It)

Your Over-40 Beauty Guide 
(Who Totally Gets It)

I'm an over 40 beauty minimalist and it’s no secret—when you’re searching for a makeup artist, most portfolios are filled with images of styled shoots or models who might not look like you. In my portfolio, you’ll find something different: real women with diverse features, hair types, and sizes. These are the faces I’m proud to highlight because beauty is for everyone, and your story deserves to be celebrated.


Since 2013, I’ve helped women across Austin and the Alabama Gulf Coast feel radiant and confident for weddings, photoshoots, and everyday moments. At the heart of it, I knew firsthand how beauty could change the course of a day—the way feeling put together can shift your confidence and your whole energy.  

After trading my scrubs for brushes, I discovered my true passion: connecting with real women and celebrating their unique beauty. Here, makeup isn’t just applied—it’s artfully and intuitively crafted to enhance your natural features. As your beauty cheerleader, I’m here to help you feel like your most confident, radiant self.

I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published in Vogue Italia, Art by Nature, Dutch Design Week, Madewell and Broken Brain 2—but the most rewarding part of my work is helping you feel beautiful in your own skin, every single day.

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.
