Ashley Marie Artistry

The spooky season may be coming to an end, but in makeup artist Ashley Marie’s mind, it’s Halloween year-round. For each of her clients, Ashley is committed to bringing each of their characters to life.Ashley has been doing makeup for 10 years, and she cites her theater background as her inspiration.“I was a ballerina growing up,” she says.”I loved watching people transform themselves into characters for every single show.”Ashley went to college briefly, however, she realized that it wasn’t for her. She later started working at a makeup counter.“I realized ‘Oh, people can do this for a living,’” she recalls. “I didn’t like the sales aspect of it and I just wanted to put green makeup on these little old ladies and they were not into it. I then stopped doing that and just went full force into creating on other people.”Halloween is Ashley’s busiest season and she loves helping create theatrical looks. She has a studio in Fort Worth, however, she can be on-site when she is booked for events. When it is not Halloween season, Ashley loves helping create looks for brides on their special.“We have all of this inner beauty and we love who we are as individuals,” she says, “but to be able to take a bride that doesn’t necessarily wear makeup on a regular basis and make her overall dream come true for how she wants to look and feel on her wedding day is really priceless.”If you book Ashley for an event and you have an open bar, chances are, you’ll find her enjoying a Kruto cocktail.“I love the smoothness of Kruto Vodka,” she says. “It goes great with any sort of mixer. Plus, the packaging is really awesome.”Ashley is available for styling at events all throughout North Texas. No look is to wild or crazy for her to bring to life.“You’re only limited by your imagination,” she says, “so let’s get together and create something fantastic.”To book Ashley Marie, visit www.ashleydoesmakeup.com Check out some of her looks on Instagram at @ashleymariedoesmakeup.
