I don't know that I can say enough great things about Ashley and her work. I was SO nervous about who to use as a makeup artist as I haven't had my makeup professionally done since high school/college and even then I was never happy! Ashley did a trial run for my bridal shower and all my girlfriends who know makeup WAY better than I do were gushing over how amazing it looked but that I still looked like me. She worked quickly - doing 9 women, all with different wants/needs, all by herself at 45 minutes/person! But I have to say I think what put her over the top for me was that she was so good with my mom - the sweetest woman you have ever met but who LOVES herself some 80s eyeshadow. Ashley was able to make my mom happy while somehow ditching the frosty pinks and blues that she normally wears :). My makeup was done by noon and still looked flawless when I took it off at 2am. And on top of all that, according to other friends who have gotten married in DC, she is tight in the middle in terms of cost for this area!

Ashley did a wonderful job from start to finish getting my bridesmaids and myself ready for my big day! It was the BEST I have ever looked.

My original makeup artist ended up bailing on me last minute for my wedding - which in hindsight was a blessing because it lead me to Ashley! I was really stressed trying to find a new makeup artist with only two weeks until my wedding and when I found Ashley she made it such a breeze. She was extremely helpful, sweet, and responsive from start to finish. She made me feel comfortable both during the trial run and on the day of. She has such a great talent and really made my bridesmaids and I feel beautiful! I would highly recommend her to any future brides!

Ashley was great! I have combo/oily skin so I was a little concerned about being shiny since the day we took our engagement pictures it was really hot, but the pictures and makeup turned out amazing! I did not feel greasy at all and no shine!

This girl knows her shit! Ashley was so wonderful to work with for my sexy boudoir photoshoot make-up! She did the most incredible sultry make-up without looking overdone; I wish I could wake up with the face she gave me everyday! I loved the way she did my make-up, and I cannot, to this day, figure out how to contour my cheekbones the same way!! Ashley is incredibly skilled, fun, and comfortable to work with; she also recommended great tools and products to try. Not only is she a talented artist, but she is super professional, timely, and responsive. She was in communication and very transparent about her rates/payment. Can't wait for another event/excuse to have her do my make-up again!

Ashely was amazing!!!! After a disastrous trial with another stylist, my photographer recommended Ashely and I am so happy she did!!! All of my bridesmaids said it was the best wedding makeup they ever had. My mom was very hesitant about having her makeup done, but Ashley made her feel so comfortable and she ended up loving the results. Thank you, Ashley!!!!

Thank you Ashley! Ashley worked all day the day of my wedding to do NINE people's make up! She stayed perfectly on schedule and everyone loved their results, I didn't hear a single complaint. As the bride, she listened to exactly what I wanted and any tweaking I wanted to do to the trial run. She left some time to do touch ups for the bridesmaids who got theirs done early and the makeup stayed on perfectly all night. I loved how my make up looked in person and I can't wait to get my pictures back to see how it came out on film, book her!
