Don't let this freelance make-up artist's wholesome southern appearance fool you—her makeup effects, sharp tongue and sick sense of humor show she also has a dark side. She was first drawn to the make-up world by the fantasy movies she watched as a child. She became hooked on special effects 10 years ago when she and a friend made a short film that required making a fake head. Next, she attended the Joe Blasco School in Orlando. Heather has done makeup for various television shows including Prison Break and Chase, but her passion is

in fantastic creature effects. She particularly likes the creativity and problem solving aspects of effects.

Heather was recently a contestant on the current season of the SyFy series Face Off. She will be performing make-up demonstrations throughout the weekend at her booth.
