After a just 2 years in working as a beauty therapist she began to focus on her art with the help and guidance of two Irelands most successful make-up artists, Paula Callan and Derrick Carberry. Under the watchful eye of Paula and Derrick Heather learned the trade from bridal to editorial, high fashion to commercial, as well as assisting on fashion shoots and catwalks. It was here her love for the Make Up Artistry was gilded. Heather then moved to stateside to New York City and worked alongside some of the best in the industry on shows such as ‘The Gossip Table’ and ‘The Nick Lacey Show’ as well as MUA assisting other artists on jobs such as the Transformers Premier, National Aids Campaign Commercial.
