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.


  • Iced coffee is my fuel of choice.

  • My Australian Shepherd keeps me busy and on my toes.

  • I adore thrift shops, fresh flowers, and Nora Ephron movies.

  • In 2012, I traded scrubs for brushes, starting beauty school and beginning this amazing makeup artistry journey in 2013.

  • I’m a self proclaimed studio clean freak (thanks, healthcare days).

  • Don't let all the fancy photos fool you, I’m really a down-to-earth, quirky gal who simply wants to help you shine bright!

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 excited, 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!

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.
