Ashley was extremely knowledgeable about makeup and make myself and all of my wedding party feel comfortable. My mom rarely wears makeup and has particular tastes, yet Ashley was able to impress her with her skills and made everyone feel confident. I would highly recommend her for any event.
Ashley was amazing and responsive in getting everything set up and Elisha was an incredible make-up artist! I could not be happier with how everything went!!!
Absolutely thrilled with the stunning work of Allured Artistry on my wedding day! From the moment I sat in Ashley’s chair, I knew I was in expert hands. She listened attentively to my vision and preferences, and her skillful execution surpassed all expectations. Not only did Ashley create a flawless look that lasted throughout the day and into the night, but she also managed to enhance my features in a natural yet glamorous way.
Beyond her technical expertise, Ashley was a joy to work with. Her calming presence and friendly demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Also, the little kit she provides for touch ups is a welcome bonus!
I cannot recommend her highly enough to any bride-to-be looking for a makeup artist who will not only make you look amazing but also make you feel truly special. She fit me in for both a bridal preview and on my wedding day, despite my procrastination which led to me scheduling at the last minute. She was so kind and responsive. Thank you, Ashley, for making me sparkle for my rehearsal dinner and on my wedding day!
Ashley was one of the best choices I made for my wedding. I had a very specific vision for my wedding day look & I am fairly particular. Ashley was so patient with me. We did two makeup trials and on my wedding day I tossed in a few changes to the look and she gave me everything AND THEN SOME. It's been over a week and I am still basking in how truly beautiful I felt. How beautiful my bridal party was and felt. She gave each of us the spark we needed to catch fire. 11/10
I had a wonderful experience during my bridal makeup trial and the day of my wedding. During my trial, Ashley primed my skin and demonstrated her ability to customize a foundation that matched my neutral skin tone. She selected eyeshadows that made my brown eyes pop and finished them off with the perfect lashes. We picked the perfect lip shade and she topped the look off with a setting/finishing spray that kept my look in place for hours! Other than her amazing ability to slay your desired look, below are the additional reasons I would book with Ashley for weddings and other special events:
Excellent communication skills
- Amazing interpersonal skills
- Possesses a wealth of knowledge
- Superb time management and organizational skills
Working with allured artistry was the best decision for my wedding day! Senior artist, Erin, was perfectly hospitable, kind and engaging and customized ladies to their exact specifications! She took her time and was a great conversationalist which made the getting ready space fun for all of my guests and comfortable! She even did light make up for my four-year-old and she also felt like an angel with the make up soft and befitting for her age! The wedding pictures speak for themselves, and I was incredibly happy with how I looked when seeing my husband down the aisle! I looked flawless and felt absolutely beautiful!! Plus, Erin captured great getting ready photos of us pre-photographer that are some of our favorites! Unparalleled service and attentiveness!! Thank you Allured Artistry!!
I chose to work with Ashley from Allured Artistry for my wedding for so many reasons! First, I love how open she is about being a mom and small business owner, so of course I wanted to support! Secondly, a lot of makeup artists in the past have struggled to match my skin tone and tend to make me super orange not knowing the skin I have (Hispanic and Asian roots). It was really important to me to enhance my "tan" version of my skin so I would look and feel awesome in my wedding photos. Ashley did amazing at this during the trial run we did and so I felt extra confident going into my big day. Go with Ashley you won't regret it!😊
Ashley you and your team are amazing i can’t thank you enough for making me look and feel beautiful on my special day. You are truly amazing person and im so grateful for all that you did for me and my girls on my wedding day!!💗
I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Ashley and her team. Allured Artistry was the ONLY team I wanted to work with in regard to glam and make up for my wedding day. I met Ashley at a photoshoot around the same time I started dating my now husband. Her talent is top tier.
Originally, I booked with Ashley wanting her to be my artist of the day. However, because she is in HIGH demand, she was already booked. I knew her team was amazing all the way around, so I had no issues booking with her senior assistant, Elisha. Elisha is a true GEM! I booked my trial with her on the day of my engagement shoot and felt absolutely beautiful. She is hilarious and made me feel so comfortable and well taken care of.
I had a fitting a couple months later and when I saw myself in the dress, I knew I wanted to tweak our original idea. Elisha had no issue with me booking a second trial and got me into the studio pretty quick. The minute she turned me to face the mirror, I just KNEW that was the look! I had no plans that day and went home to take a nap. When I woke up, HOURS LATER, my makeup had not budged! I've had my make up done professionally before but it has always creased and cracked somewhere at some point. I am a true oily girl, so this was a pleasant surprise lol !
Elisha, an assistant, came to our "Get Ready" location the day of the wedding. They made our whole bridal party not only GORGEOUS, but completely at ease. They also stayed ahead of schedule, with multiple bridesmaids also getting their hair done at the same time. It was wonderful.
I also booked the "Concierge" add on. Elisha came with us to the venue and stayed to touch up my make up until the cocktail hour started. That was a godsend and so glad that I booked. I ended up crying during the ceremony and needed my girl for those bridal party photo shoot touch ups!
Ashley and her team are extremely professional but incredibly kind, friendly and make you feel like part of the family. My Wedding Day would not have been complete without them. I am forever thankful to Elisha and will book with them again- honestly for any and ALL events!
We LOVED working with Ashley!!! Her and her team made the whole morning so much fun. She was early, prompt and had an amazing go with the flow attitude. My bridesmaids, myself and the moms all have a large range of skin tones and types. The makeup stayed on the entire night for everyone! If you are debating booking Ashley and her team, DO IT! Could not recommend more!!!!
Ashley was the best!! From the bridal makeup trial to wedding day, she has exceeded me and my mom's expectations! She is punctual and professional but also made me feel so comfortable around her like I was talking to one of my friends. I had to do things a little unconventional, I first met up with Ashley to do my bridal makeup trial a month before I left to move to Hawaii. I choose to do a natural look for my wedding day since I rarely wear makeup and loved the way the makeup turned out after the bridal trial. Fast forward almost a year to my wedding day, I am so glad Ashley convinced me to step it up a notch with my makeup! I have never felt so beautiful in my life! During my wedding, when I tell you through the tears of happiness during toasts to dancing all night, my mom's and I makeup DID NOT BUDGE! I was shocked how good my makeup still looked before I went to bed that night! Seriously, if you have any event that you need your makeup done perfectly, BOOK ASHLEY! You will not be disappointed at all. Thank you so much Ashley!
I don’t even know where to begin on how amazing Ashley and her team are. From submitting an inquiry to booking to the day of and beyond. Ashley was so helpful, understanding and communicative for every question and adjustment I had. Elisha really helped me figure out what I wanted in my look. She worked with me day of when I wanted to make slight adjustments and made me feel absolutely beautiful. She did myself, three bridesmaids, my sister in law and MiL. All of whom had different tastes and experiences with make up and every single one came to me saying how amazing and beautiful they felt. This team is so welcoming and beyond just a group of women who do makeup. They truly make you feel like family and have become friends. I could not recommend them enough. You could get your make up done any where but the experience, attentiveness, communication, commitment to being supportive to you and the friendship is above and beyond. As a bride, thank you Ashley and Elisha. As a friend, love you girls!
Let me start by saying Ashley has the kindest, most welcoming personality that put me at such ease throughout our wedding day. I actually came to know of her services after her and her dream team did the bridal make up services for my sister’s wedding in Portsmouth VA. Ashley and her senior artist served a total of nine plus the flower girl efficiently with such uplifting energy! We had so much fun and everyone loved the final looks! I knew I had to have her at my wedding the following year. I live in Florida and had a destination wedding March 2023 in the Dominican Republic. Despite the distance and destination planning, Ashley was prompt and professional with communication. She was willing to host a virtual consultation and accommodate me if traveling to visit my sister in VA for planning. For the wedding, she presented a contact for travel arrangements and worked directly with my wedding travel planner which really eased any stress surrounding her arrival. As far as the bridal services go, IMMACULATE. My makeup survived the humidity of the outdoor ceremony and looked flawless throughout the night for the indoor reception! She was able to serve a bridal party of various complexions and preferences and everyone was so pleased! From my bridesmaids “TRULY the best! I have never had makeup done that was just as good at the end of the night as it was to start!” and “best makeup experience I’ve ever had!” Book Ashley and her amazing crew! You won’t regret it!
I love me some Ashley! This was my first experience getting my makeup done professionally. Ashley not only made me comfortable, but she was engaging and so sweet. She also made me feel and look beautiful!!!
As the mother of the bride, my concerns were immediately resolved after talking with and meeting Ashley! She was so kind and friendly and did a trial for me as she understood my desire for a minimal look. It was perfect! On the wedding day, Ashley set the tone in the bridal suite of joy, calmness and fun as she worked to give each bridesmaid the perfect look! This meant more to me than anything. Her natural ease and friendly demeanor with the bridal party and the people doing hair made the day! We all had a blast! My daughter's make-up (the bride) was also flawless and so beautiful-exactly what she wanted. Everyone complemented the make up and said it was the best they had seen. She even offered to touch up one of the groomsmen who had an unfortunate tan line on his forehead from the day before! She saved the day!
I cannot recommend Ashley enough. If you are not only looking for the best, highest quality make up finish, but also someone who will orchestrate your day and keep it running smoothly while bringing so much joy to everyone she is working with, Ashley is your girl!!! I cannot wait to hire her for another event!
You can stop searching now, you won’t find anyone better than Ashley and her team. From the moment I emailed her, I knew I was going to book with her. She is so responsive and accommodating. Literally felt like I made a new friend during our bridal consult, which I used as an opportunity to have my makeup done before my engagement shoot. I showed her pictures of what I was shooting for and she NAILED it. It was so important to me that I found a team that was inclusive to all skin types and colors and Ashley and her team were on it. I felt so confident that my entire family and bridal party would be taken care of. Ashley worked hand in hand with my wedding planner, which made for seamless planning. I truly loved my experience with Allured Artistry and would recommend them to anyone for any event. She’s such a positive and kind human. So much love to her and Elisha!! THANK YOU for being such an important part of our day. You made me feel my absolute best and I’m forever grateful!
I had a great experience with Elisha! My makeup was well done and she made me feel heard. When I asked for something to change, she did it immediately and made sure I was happy!
Ashley is INCREDIBLE! She welcomed me instantly and was my new bestie just 5 minutes into my trial. She worked hard to find the soft glam look I was going for, as I don’t wear make-up often, and she NAILED it! I’ve never felt more beautiful in my life.
The day of my wedding she was so excited to be there and vibed with all of my bridesmaids. It was the best experience I could have ever asked for. Stress free, good tears, and a whole lot of laughter. If you’re looking for an artist, this is your sign. Book her today
Ashley made sure that my wedding look was perfect. I did my trial with her and wasn’t quite sure what I wanted. After explaining to her a few of my ideas and sharing some inspiration she ran away with it. I could not have imagined my make up looking any better than it did on my wedding day. Ashley made sure to check in with me to make sure she was achieving the look that I was going for. She also did an amazing job with my Bridal Party.
She was very communicative and personable. I highly recommend booking Allured Artistry for your make up needs!
Ashley is the best person I could have ever found for my wedding makeup! She is so kind and encouraging, which helped make me feel comfortable and confident on my big day! Her talent and expertise is truly unmatched. I have never felt more beautiful in my life, and it lasted ALL. DAY. LONG. All of my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law also were so comfortable and happy with their looks! She will make any dream you have come to reality! I could not be happier with my decision for choosing Ashley for my big day!
I can’t say enough good things about Elisha. What an amazing woman. This was my 4th makeup trial, personality and attitude is everything to me, I felt nothing but love and positive energy. Her makeup skills a was un touchable. Originally I was nervous since I am a black female but she came w her bubbly happy self and did that!!!! Will recommend her 1000 times. That Sis for making my day beautiful
Ashley is Amazing. For me it was very important to still look like myself and feel natural on my wedding day.
I’ve never felt so beautiful. Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how breathtaking I was.
She is so sweet, funny, and she’s a wonderful person to be around. She’s the best there is and what is also important for me to mention is that my bridal party was very diverse and she accommodated all skin tones and has zero issues with adding more or less to bridal party’s looks.
She’s very knowledgeable and she truly has a passion for her craft.
I will be using her for all of my professional makeup needs.
In sum she is reliable, great at communicating, talented, and simply the best!
Thank you Ashley for making me feel amazing and so beautiful on the most special day of my life!
I am not one who wears makeup on the daily so I felt extremely blessed to find such a patient, understanding and talented artist such as Ashley to do my bridal makeup along with my bridesmaids. From the bridal trial to the day of the wedding, Ashley maintained constant communication with me and help make sure all my needs were met. From the bridal trial Ashley made me feel extremely comfortable and I felt like I was getting my makeup done by a friend I had already known for years. I am not one to rave about my looks but damn I looked absolutely stunning all thanks to Ashley! I caught myself doing double even triple takes in the mirror because I still couldn't believe how amazing it looked. My makeup lasted all night look and even survived a little emotional breakdown or two. All my bridesmaids, our mothers and even our flower girl were obsessed with their looks and were so happy with the service they received. I would recommend Ashley a million times to anyone who is in search of a talented artist who will capture your vision, listen to your needs and make you feel like a queen on your wedding day.
Ashley was able to do my makeup for my bridal portraits when my wedding MUA was out of town and it was such a blessing in disguise! She is such a genuine person with infectious energy-- I immediately felt comfortable with her. Her talent is so evident--my makeup looked amazing! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
From the very beginning Ashley was phenomenal to work with. She was responsive and flexible in scheduling my makeup trial. On the wedding day, I was confident knowing Ashley and her team would do an amazing job and they did! They were professional, super talented at their craft and most of all, easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend this team any day!
I highly recommend this business!
Elisha made me feel beautiful on my wedding day (and bridal trial too). I had a very specific vision for my bridal makeup and am generally a pretty particular person. Elisha listened and then knocked it out of the park. The team is also fun to work with, which is a bonus! Thank you for working your magic on my special day!
Ashley and Elisha are the best! Not only were they a pleasure to have on my special day but they made me and my bridesmaids look fabulous!
Ashley's Allured Artistry, LLC is the best makeup artist and best experience a bride could want for her wedding day. Ashley is an excellent communicator to ensure your special day is planned for starting with the schedule, bridal makeup trial and the wedding day itself. She is prompt, kind and, OH MY GOSH does the best make up ever. It was exactly the make up that I had envisioned, looked great in photos and lasted the entire day!
What an amazing team! You can’t find a better group of artists and you certainly can’t miss out on having these artistic angels with you on your big day. It’s yo face!!! Take care of yourself and entrust Allured to beauty your natural features. Their work and vibes truly check out. I’m thrilled with the results of my make up (the bride w/ Ashley) and the make up of all my closest ladies. Even my abuelita got in on it (w/ Elisha.) Such emotional joy came from seeing them all gussied up. They’re beautiful anyways but I’m telling you, Allured got us movie star ready. Varying levels of natural glam. Everyone happy. Phew. It was what my nervous heart needed that morning with all the details I was thinking about—- make up was not one I was worried about.
Ashley was absolutely AMAZING. So professional, timely, and a beautiful spirit. I went with a completely different look on my wedding day from my trial and she nailed it effortlessly! My bridesmaids also looked flawless!!
To put it simply: Ashley is AMAZING! I would give her 100000 stars if I could. Her personality is so bubbly and her energy is so positive, it helped create such a fun and exciting environment while we were getting ready and that was so vital for me and my nerves! Not to mention everyone looked beautiful. She did the makeup for me, my four bridesmaids, and my mom and everyone was stunning! They were all different to fit everyone’s personality and style but still cohesive with the party and the theme. Ashley is now definitely my go-to makeup artist for any occasion!
Ashley did makeup for me as well as my bridal party on my wedding day and I couldn't have been happier! I highly recommend doing the bridal trial. It made me feel much more comfortable going into my wedding day. I was slightly apprehensive going into the trial because I am not very experienced with makeup and never wear foundation or lashes. I wanted my makeup to look flawless for photos, but was nervous that I would look too different. I told Ashley my concerns, and she literally just whipped up some Ashley magic and made me look beautiful but still 100% myself! Also, my bridal party ranged from very pale to very dark skin tones and Ashley had makeup to suit every possible skin tone! My bridesmaids all commented on how how great of a job she did. And we were all finished with time to spare! I definitely recommend Ashley to any bride out there, you won't be disappointed!
Allured Artistry does beautiful work! I hired them for my January 2022 wedding. Ashley and I had a great makeup trial, she used my inspo makeup pics as a base and she listened to my feedback as we perfected the look. She did an amazing job and stayed ahead of schedule on the day of my wedding. She has great energy and an infectious laugh that made me and my girls have a wonderful, relaxing getting ready morning. Erin was her assistant on the day of and she was great as well. Ashley has a quick response time, took great photos during the process, and was professional and friendly through the whole process! I would give her my highest recommendation and would encourage anyone to book with her.
Absolutely outstanding makeup artist! Even better person.
Ashley gave me a wonderful experience for both my bridal trial and my day of makeup. She was so kind and flexible to work with. Her talent is truly amazing! She was quick and professional. She made sure that I loved every detail about my makeup look. She even mixed up a lipstick custom to my desired color.
Plan to use her again in the future! Book her and you won’t be disappointed!
