Radiant Beauty By Ashley
About Ashley
Welcome to my canvas - where the right makeup not only enhances appearance but boosts confidence ensuring clients look and feel their best in front of a camera, in person or in every photograph. Art was my first love; however my true calling is makeup - the ultimate medium, blending creativity with the beauty of real-life canvases. With over 20 years of professional experience, my philosophy revolves around the art of accentuating each client's unique qualities using selected colors, products and techniques. I’m based in Raleigh, NC with a second location in Banner Elk (the heart of NC’s High Country) and travel on-location.
Being a Makeup Artist means…
Being a makeup artist means more than just making someone “pretty”, it’s about enhancing the beauty that already exists.
FUN Q & A with Ashley!
Q: How long have you been a Makeup Artist? Over 20 years professionally but an artist as soon as I could hold a pencil (or get into my mother’s makeup).
Q: Describe yourself briefly: I’m genuine and creative, a natural leader fueled by passion. Good-hearted, fun and outgoing yet still grounded. My passions extend to the culinary arts, music, creative writing, planning and traveling. At heart, I'm a true friend, a dedicated wife and loving mother.
Q: Favorite band/musician? For a music aficionado like me, that's an impossible question! Lately, mostly Indie/Alternative Rock, yet Led Zeppelin remains an all-time favorite, standing the test of time. My playlist is astonishingly diverse—you'd be amazed!
Q: Red lipstick or pink lipstick? Perfectly pinkalicious pink all the way…red if I’m feeling Audrey Hepburn or Gwen Stefani-ish. Most often you’ll find me in a tinted lip balm.
