If you are a music fan, you will agree that Glenda has the coolest makeup artist position in the world –she is the Staff Head Makeup Artist with the renowned PBS music show Austin City Limits. The show itself has a record breaking thirty-one years of memorable music history. Glenda has been making-up musical artists for Austin City Limits for 17 of those 31 years, which she is proud to say so far includes almost over 350 shows!

Glenda’s position has given her the opportunity to be one-on-one and face-to-face with the best of America’s music from Country, Blues, Folk, Rock-n-Roll, Jazz, and Bluegrass.
