These transformations are a glimpse into my makeup magic—real women with diverse features, hair types, and sizes. Beauty isn’t about looking like someone else—it’s about enhancing what makes you you. My goal is to create looks that feel natural, effortless, and authentically you. Whether it’s for a big event or just a regular day, every face here reflects the confidence and ease that comes from feeling good in your own skin.

Because beauty isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s about celebrating your features, your story, and your glow.

 I really appreciate your kindness, attention to detail and how amazing the results were! I've never looked so good!! Looking forward to the next time. :) Thanks also for the recommendations on makeup products and sharing little tips about how to use them along the way. I will definitely be checking them out.

"Thank you for making it such a fun and enjoyable experience!"

 For someone who hardly wears make up you made me feel so comfortable and beautiful without being over done. Even the lip color at the end I couldn't believe how much I loved it!! You did such an amazing job!

"The absolutely best hair and makeup experience I've ever had!"

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.
