It’s so nice to meet you! I’m a makeup artist in Nebraska specializing in bridal and special event makeup.

It is my passion to enhance one’s beauty and create the perfect look for brides on their special day.

Nicole and I have been friends for over a decade. I've been supporting her from the beginning, following along every step of the way throughout her makeup journey and I can't even begin to tell you how many times she has left me speechless with her abilities. I wouldn't be here leaving this review if it wasn't well deserved, friend or not. If I had it my way, Nicole would be my personal MUA for the rest of my life. Every major life event that I have and need photos for, I'm only trusting Nicole with my face. Unfortunately for her, I hate doing my makeup and she's the sweetest friend ever and always touches me up on nights out together too :) She's a great person to work with because she puts her heart and soul into it. Most of the time I have no idea what I want and she comes up with something in a blink of an eye. Like a wizard. She has the vision for this and she's going a long way in this industry. Don't forget about me when you're famous Nicole!

  • Team of 6
  • Serves Ames, NE for additional fees

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all. I have studied Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern henna design in depth, and am happy to create designs in a broad range of strictly traditional styles, or to combine traditional patterns with more individualized, unique elements for a customized henna experience.

Heather is truly a professional, in every way. I enjoyed working with her because once I engaged her services I didn't have to give it another thought - she took care of everything and was so calm, organized, and thoughtful! The designs were absolutely exquisite and so beautifully done. She's an artist, and her work really makes a big impression. I highly recommend her!
