Delish Makeup Artistry

I put my faith in Best Day Ever (my wedding planner) to find me vendors in Hawaii for my wedding. I am so happy they hooked me up with Heather! She was so great to work with.
She came to my hotel and did my hair and makeup in a couple of hours, but during that short amount of time, I found her to be so pleasant and fun to be around. My short meeting with her was one of my favorite moments I look back on when getting ready for my big day! She showed up bright and early around 6:15 in the morning (I had a morning wedding) and I was pumped and giddy! She laughed and told me I had to calm down and was able to deal with my hyper self… kinda like how one would have to deal with a child while you’re trying to get them ready for school, I presume. We even got her coffee, which she kept politely declining until my sister sympathized with her having to deal with me and said she deserved it. And when we found out the limo was waiting for us, she helped and rushed to get me into my dress, too! Above and beyond!
And, of course, let’s not forget to mention her talent. My hair and makeup that she did was great! I felt and looked like a princess! If you are looking for someone that makes you feel comfortable like you’re hanging out with a bestie, except a total professional doing your makeup, make sure to book with her. Honestly, if my dreams came true where I quit my job and moved to Hawaii, those dreams would also include her and I becoming insta-BFF’s. A little unrealistic, but I wouldn’t mind just hanging out with her more. Lol.

Heather is amazing at what she does! She dolled up me and my bridesmaids for my wedding about 2 months ago. She’s very attentive and listens to what you want. Her positive energy and awesome personality puts any bride at ease and makes you feel completely comfortable. I honestly felt like she was family doing my makeup. This was especially important since I was planning this wedding all the way from the mainland. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better and so happy I found her. Thank you for making me feel beautiful on my big day

Heather Heen was AMAZING in every way! She recently did the make up for our wedding and the bride and maids were flawless! We never had a chance to do a make up trail with her but the only thing the bride told her was that she wanted her make up like Khloe Kardashion. She knew EXACTLY how to do it without making her look and feel like she was wearing a pound of make-​up that was just going to melt off with the humidity. She was highly recommended by Cheryl Hazelgrove (another MUA) and is highly recommended in our book! =)

Heather is a wizard! She is seriously magical! She did my hair and makeup for our wedding at Aulani. My hair looked fabulous! I emailed her some photos ahead of time and she recreated the looks perfectly with the hair flowers we had provided. She didn’t mind at all that we had an evening ceremony so it was kind of late in the day.
I don’t normally wear a lot of makeup so when I first saw her work on my face I thought it was a little heavy, but she did not steer me wrong! Not to toot my own horn, but I look fabulous in our wedding photos! And I got so many compliments, and I know it wasn’t just cause I was the bride! She seriously made me looks fresh, flawless, and radiant!
While we were getting photos done at Aulani, twice some little girls tried to get their photos with me thinking I was a Disney princess! One even said «there’s no line!» haha! Heather really made me look and feel like a Disney princess!
Bonus! She even laced me into my corset-​backed dress since no one else knew how to do it! I was so grateful!

When you meet Heather, she is the type of person that anyone and everyone can get along with. Her personality is so fun and she makes you feel at home and comfortable while doing your make-​up. I am so glad that she was able to do my make-​up for a military ball on a last minute request. She is very honest and is just fun to be with! I agree with one reviewer saying she is like someone that you can be friends with even after she’s done with your make-​up. I loved how she did my hair and make-​up. And I loved how she ask you if you want anything added or changed in your make-​up. I will definitely not hesitate to use her and recommend her to all my friends and coworkers if they ever need someone who is amazing at doing your hair and make-​up! Thank you so much, Heather! It was so nice meeting and talking to you and also meeting your Mom! She is so cute and funny!

Heather did an amazing job with my makeup for my wedding! I had to find someone for a short notice wedding and was worried but as soon as Heather walked in the door I had no more worries! I couldn’t thank her enough for making me look as good as I felt and sharing some laughs along the way. I will definitely recommend her to anyone and will go back to her for any big event I have in the future.

Heather is truly a master of her craft.
If you Unilocal «makeup artist», you will come across more than a few selections. How I looked on my wedding day was very important to me so I made sure to research each and every one.
I happened across Heather and instantly knew she was the one. The photos of her work were incredible without making her clients look overdone.
I first used her for my engagement photos and loved everything about my hair and makeup.
Then came my wedding trial. Heather was so patient with both me and my finicky bridesmaids and took the time to indulge all of our requests. I thought I had finally settled on what I wanted and then a week before my wedding, I saw an IG post that I loved, tagged her in it and asked, «would you hate me if I changed my mind to this?» Her response? «You can have anything you want.»
Fast forward to wedding day and Heather had to do the hair and makeup for 4 bridesmaids, 3 flower girls, two mothers, a bride and a partridge in a pear tree. Effortless. Everyone looked amazing and she kept us entertained the whole time.
I love Heather and will continue to use her for all of my special occasion needs. I suggest you do the same.

I Love Heather!!! Great Talent in what she does. Very nice, friendly and fun to work with.
I already know I made the right decision when I met here in March for my trial make up. I wanted something simple yet sophisticated looking & a hair do that will go along with it and she nailed it.
I have gotten so much compliments with y hair & make up and it stayed all day long even without retouching. Just looking at all the pictures taken from the event, I am still in awe how my make up & hair turned out to be.
I would recommend her to anyone. Great talent & price. Reliable & accommodating. She is available to answer any questions you may have & will work with you, however you want your make up or hair done.
Thanks again Heather, I truly enjoyed working with you & to top that I LOVE my make up & hair.

Heather was recommended to me by my wedding coordinator. As we live in California, neither my maid of honor or I were familiar with the best make up artists in town even though we’re both from Hawaii. There was no time for a trial unfortunately given schedules so I was completely trusting the recommendation.
I am still in awe of her great work that day for me, my bridesmaids, MOH, and my mom! I had let Heather know that one of my bridesmaids has long hair and with that, Heather decided to bring an assistant to be sure everyone would have enough time. The pair decided to come at 5 AM instead of original 6 AM time. (Ceremony start 10 AM).
She and her colleague arrived right on the dot at our hotel room. We finished in enough time and everyone was SO HAPPY with their hair and makeup, it was so awesome.
Mahalo Heather as I can honestly say (and feel) couldn’t have been done better by anyone else for me and my ladies. Heather no ka oi!

Simply put, Heather was the best decision I made for my wedding. Not only is is wonderfully talented, she’s really nice and fun and brings a calming energy that every bride can use on her wedding day. I’ve had hair and makeup done on several occasions and Heather is hands down the very best. I would also recommend the trial session with her because you will have it gives your peace of mind for the big day. Truly awesome. Thank you Heather!

I would highly recommend Heather to any future Bride! Heather did the most AMAZING job on hair & make up for myself and 3 bridesmaids. I live in a wet and humid town on the Big Island of Hawaii… it even drizzled a bit during the ceremony. However, through all of that and dancing until 11:00pm, everything looked and stayed great. This is after she started in the morning! She asked how each one of us usually wore our hair/​makeup and just kicked it up a notch. None of us was «overdone».
Mahalo Heather, have a wonderful year in 2015

Hiring Heather is one of the best part of my wedding planning experience! She is reliable, does an awesome job for my makeup and hair, and the most important: she communicates with you and learns what you want, and then she makes it even better! I was never so beautiful, she was also very considerate, her little «make up emergency package» helped a lot during the wedding.

Heather was recommended by my engagement photographer and she did an amazing job. My fiancé and I were on vacation in Hawaii and had our engagement pictures done in Hawaii. After traveling across the country, my hair was out of control due to the humidity!
Heather was able to tame my hair and put on great natural looking and gorgeous makeup on me. She told me the eye makeup was waterproof, and it turned out to be literally invincible. I went snorkeling for an hour afterwards and my eye makeup and fake eyelashes did not even smear. Amazing!

Heather is AMAZING! If you are looking for the perfect makeup and hair on your wedding day and want to look like the most beautiful bride on the planet I would highly recommend Heather.
I am very particular with my makeup and hair and not knowing where to start, as we were travelling from Sydney Australia for our destination wedding in Hawaii, I was so impressed after meeting Heather for my trial. Heather is the utmost professional, who listened to exactly the look I was after for my special day and delivered beautiful results.
Heather also did the hair and makeup for the mother of the groom, my best girlfriend and 2 flower girls and everyone loved how they looked.
We had lots of fun and laughs along the way on the wedding day, and absolutely no stress as everyone was put at ease by Heathers lovely personality.
The makeup translated beautifully in our wedding photos and we even had guests staying at the hotel ask if we were models in a fashion shoot or was it a real wedding?
If you are looking for a makeup & hair artist I would highly recommend Heather at Delish Makeup Artistry, if I didn’t live so far away in Sydney I would use Heather’s services for any special event … very talented lady and the utmost professional.

This review is long overdue!
I had not met Heather, I had only selected her based on Unilocal reviews, her web page, and a few pics I saw her post on Instagram. We went to Hawaii in August 2014 for my sister’s destination wedding at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. I had purchased 3 trial makeup and hair sessions (for my sister, the bride, our mom, and I), and then 3 wedding packages for our wedding day.
Heather is AMAZING!!! Each of us had a different look and Heather made us all look gorgeous. On the day of the trail session, after having our makeup and hair done, we went out for drinks with friends and a few of the guys couldn’t stop saying «My goodness, your makeup looks great.» For a guy to notice that was enough to make me happy! LOL
On the day of the wedding, Heather met us at 2 PM for a 5 PM wedding. She finished ahead of time, and our makeup and hair lasted all night. The makeup looked gorgeous in both the photos on the beach in the glaring sun, and at the reception, when the lights were dim.
I can’t say enough nice things about Heather herself… She’s professional, extremely friendly, funny… after our trial session, we felt like we were old friends. I have to say of all the vendors I helped my sister choose for her wedding day, she was my favorite. Heather is the kind of person that makes you want to be friends with her, long after your makeup session is done.
Hi Heather, from Anna, Elena, and Terri in Virginia! :)

Umm Heather Heen is awesome. I’ve now used her three different times: Marine Corps Ball, engagement photos and now wedding! Every time she has been so much fun to hang out with and has made me look beautiful too! I would highly recommend booking her for any special occasion. You definitely will not be disappointed :)

Heather was amazing! She did an amazing job for my sisters wedding! We all felt beautiful!
The bride is VERY picky about her hair and she loved what Heather did!
She was very friendly and on time! She worked efficiently through our entire group!
I would highly recommend Heather to anyone getting married in Honolulu!

No one should underestimate the power of great hair and makeup!
You can have the perfect wedding dress and a beautiful reception, but if your look is not properly achieved, it can be a bit disappointing.
Heather and her sidekick Nicole did a phenomenal job on my face and tresses for the «Big Day». I will shout her name from the rooftops so other bride-​to-​bes will know where to find her, she’s that good!
Thanks to Julia H. and her awesome review, I had committed to Heather despite the many other makeup artists around town. I met countless vendors at the bridal expo, Brides Night Out, and through word of mouth, but there was something about Heather that I really appreciated… she’s an amazing woman that LISTENS to what you want.
I appreciate artists who aren’t «set» in their ways of what looks good. I’ve had a ton of botched makeup sessions from prom queen days to runway contests because my face is neither textbook Asian nor Caucasian featured – it’s a mix of both. And while many artists will «cookie cutter» you into certain facial types that I unfortunately don’t fall into, Heather is very conscientious of what she’s doing. Here are a couple pics from our wedding day that show Heather’s work:
Heather is located in Nuuanu in her private loft (she will give you directions on the guest parking, check in, and how to get to her unit when you speak to her). Her location was just five minutes from the ceremony and reception, both being held at Pomaikai Ballroom in Dole Cannery Iwilei.
The makeup and hair held up the entire time, and she gives you a little touch-​up kit of makeup essentials to use throughout the day! Her rates are competitive and well worth the trial runs.
THANK YOU so much Heather and Nicole for your amazing work and friendship! I will recommend you to all my girlfriends and hope to work with you again soon!
All the best!

Heather Heen did my hair & makeup for my wedding this past September, and I can’t recommend her HIGHLY enough! I actually flew her over to the Big Island after being disappointed by the lack of quality makeup artists there. She came to my hotel room and did such an amazing job. To top it all off, she is an absolute doll! Even the hotel wedding coordinator was asking for her information to give to other brides. Thanks Heather for making me look my best on the best day of my life!

If ever I had to hire a makeup artist in Hawaii again it’d be with Heather Heen of Delish Makeup. (trust me I’ve hired a lot of makeup artists)
I’ve gotta say I am SUPER picky about my makeup… I’m so picky that I would actually just do my own makeup since I have pretty much perfected doing my makeup with years of pageantry/​public appearances under my belt… that being said
I FREAKING LOVE WHAT HEATHER DID FOR MY FACE on one of my best friend’s wedding days. :) I was fortunate to experience this cuz the bride (my gf) hired her for herself and all of us (her bms)…so we really had no choice but to go with it. Heather asked each of us what kind of look each of us wanted (since the bride just let us do whatever we wanted). I asked for pinks/​plums monochrome/​smokeyblended look and she did just that. It gave me color but looked so blended and natural (instead of freaking y’know). I received so many compliments after posting the picture on fb and ig… you know how we do :).
BTW the bride looked UH-​MAY-​ZING and so did the rest of the bridesmaids.
Oh yea, she’s totally fun and easy to get along with :)
Thanks Heather! It was a real treat.
