Heather Polyi

Celebrity makeup artist with 17 years of experience in numerous capacities, television, film, bridal, print, pageant, and runway!
I have a passion for creating a mood with makeup and hair styling, and building characters.
I work with Atlantic Productions in NY on documentaries, and corporate in house videos, and you tube videos. I am outsourced for The BBC Scotland when they are on location here in NY, and UK's digital, and mass media journalists for Finextra.
My work is currently on the cover of Manhattan Bride Magazine, and has been featured in previous issues of the bi-annual magazine.
Currently my Print work with Capezio can be seen in their "swing" catalogues, in their online store, and their upcoming 2014 product Catalogue.
I have worked on infomercials, and with The NY Mets, and Yankees for Home Run Brands Band Aid Brand.
In film, my artistry takes a more serious turn, I spend a lot of time researching and dedication to understanding each character and their role. Creating a characters look also requires much consistency for continuity. I strive to be accurate to time period, and emotion.
On the runway, speed and efficiency are what it's all about, and my printwork is clean.
I worked for CNBC live news and prime time programming with the CNBC show The Big Idea.
I worked on the HGTV show Selling NY, as well as the USA Networks upcoming 2014 show Partners in Crime. 2014 will also see the release of two short films I worked on, 2 Meter Breeze, and Aghast.
Additionally I worked on a pilot that was never picked up, but you can see it with this link... ?v=6LYzAjZ9Trc
I also work with a You Tube show called "So tell me..." with Lauren Pizza
I own a beauty studio in NJ called Glam Spot NJ, ideal for brides or clients that need privacy. My website is

I bring "red carpet" beauty to the tri-state area.
I love this industry, but it is nothing without giving back. I love working with Adults and children with special needs, and it is equally important to me, as "the big jobs". Weather it's doing makeup for a talent show "Camp Fatima", or a very unique wedding, or the host and chair person for a charity event benefitting the children like "project sunshine". I will be there philanthropically, to make someone's day a little brighter.
I feel the pulse of this industry, and feel blessed to have the opportunity to do what I truly LOVE!
