2008 Voted "Best Makeup Artist" by ARIZONA BRIDE MAGAZINE, Fall/Winter Issue


My approach to makeup has always been very personal, it is important for me to get to know my client and what they are all about. Taking into consideration personality and style I then customize the concept and application to be as unique as the bride herself.

During my fifteen years in the beauty industry I have had the pleasure of working for prestige lines like MAC, Kevyn Aucoin, Koh Gen Do, Laura Mercier, Nars, Chantecaille and many more. I have traveled up and down the west coast working as a senior makeup artist, trainer and managed artists while gaining extensive experience doing makeup for weddings, special events, fashion shows and in print.

I understand the importance of your wedding day and want to put my expertise to work to make your big day as flawless as your makeup.

Please contact me for pricing, additional information or to make an appointment at 206.228.7426 or at rian.ashleigh@gmail.com


Best wishes,

Rian

My wedding was in the middle of Queen Anne in Seattle. When my husband and I selected our wedding day, we did not know how busy this day was for Seattle. The Rock n Roll Marathon (which is basically an all day event which completely engulfs Seattle), the beginning of Seattle Pride, and the Rat City Roller Girls had a match that evening at the Key Arena...ALL ON THE SAME DAY!

Knowing the events going on in Seattle, we figured that the bus would be a better idea than driving/battling closed streets/parking. Rian braved the monstrous traffic and endless closed streets that day, taking several buses while carting around all of her equipment. The several buses would normally be no problem, however, because of the marathon, the buses she got on diverted from the normal routes without letting the passengers know until it was too late. And on top of that...it was POURING DOWN RAIN all morning!

After arriving to the hotel my bridesmaids and I were staying at, Rian, though I am sure she was quite flustered *but never showed it* got right to business! I am a girl that never really wears much more than mascara, so lots of makeup makes me uncomfortable. Rian did an amazing job of making me feel like I wasn't wearing any makeup at all. It felt natural, clean, but the look really packed a punch. I felt like a rockstar.

My husband and I figured, you only get married once, right? So don't let the rain ruin the opportunity to have some great photos. Because traffic was so terrible, the two photographers, and the two of us ran through Seattle with one bright red umbrella. Even though it rained during our entire photo shoot before the ceremony, my makeup never moved.

Thank you, Rian. I felt absolutely beautiful :)

I couldn't have been happier with the way my makeup turned out - Rian made it easy to be a bride. She was attentive, responsive and easy going, during a time of potential high stress. The wedding was in the morning and she was willing to come to us, and early!, to do my makeup, along with my maid of honor and Mom. She was a joy to be around, and I am so grateful that I found her. I would highly recommend Rian.

The most amazing wedding make-up! I was glowing thanks to Rian, and my pictures looked great due to her expertise. She was prompt, efficient, and extremely flexible amid all the last minute wedding chaos, and even provided touch-ups during the reception. An above par experience in every way, highly recommended.

Rian did make-up for me and all my bridesmaids on my wedding day. She was amazing! I have never felt so beautiful and each of my bridesmaids looked fantastic too! Each of them had different colored dresses and she did a great job at coordinating their make-up with their individual looks. Being someone who doesn't wear much make-up, I was concerned about looking good, but not over done. Rian made my make-up look so natural and flawless. She was great in our consultation before the wedding at listening to what I had in mind (and telling me honestly that some of my ideas would not flatter) and executing it perfectly the day-of. She was both professional and FUN!
I highly recommend Rian to anyone looking for a gifted artist who will have you feeling more beautiful than you ever imagined.

Rian Ashleigh Artistry is amazing. First of all, Rian took one look at me and knew exactly what was going to work on me. I have never felt so beautiful in all of my life. Seriously. I am not a girl that usually wears a lot of make up and Rian really talked me through the best options for me. She catered what make up she did put on me to what was going to make me look great in our wedding pictures. Rian really knows her makeup!! She did an fantastic job with all of my bridesmaids as well. They are of all different backgrounds and everyone looked amazing. Not only is her work amazing, but Rian was also very efficient with her time and our time. She understands the wedding day time line and made it happen! I only wish that I could do it all over again so that I could feel as beautiful as I did that day!! Thank you Rian!!

Rian Ashleigh is not only extremely talented but she is the utmost professional and a pleasure to work with. I do not typically wear much makeup and wanted a very clean, classic and timeless look. Rian captured it brilliantly and I trusted her completely. She is thoughtful and kind while still maintaining what would be best for her client. I would absolutely recommend her to any bride who is looking for a fantastic make up artist. She is one of a kind!

Rian is an incredible make-up artist! She listens to the wants and desires of each of her brides and what their vision is of what they want to look like on their wedding day and carries that out perfectly. She makes each and every one of her brides look like the very best version of themselves on their wedding day. Her work is impeccable. I refer her to all of my brides because I know the make-up she does for them will look flawless on camera. Taryn Bills Serendipity Videography
