Ashton helped me out 4 days before my wedding when my booked artist canceled. I live 4 hrs away and she was able to get me in for a trial that Friday and do both me and all my girls that Saturday for my wedding. her makeup turned out PERFECT. My husband loved the way my skin looked and I loved the way my eyes looked. She was also so quick very impressive. My makeup lasted over 12 hours in 90 degree weather taking pictures at the Zoo for 3 hours and then the whole wedding. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

She was very professional, kind, and great to work with! She obviously wanted to give me the perfect look for my wedding day and did a spectacular job. I am OBSESSED with how it turned out! She also did the makeup for a couple other people in my wedding party, and they all looked stunning. I would definitely recommend going to her!!

I booked Ashton to do wedding makeup for me, four bridesmaids, and two moms. She was unable to be there on wedding day due to unforeseen circumstances. She let me know four days be...

fore the wedding and put me in contact with another artist who she was familiar with and had talked to to determine that she was available on my day. It was extremely professional of her to immediately send over a replacement. Although the last second change was worrisome, I did not have to stress about finding another artist. And the other artist was fabulous! Communication when booking, setting up my trial, and planning for wedding day was not great. For my makeup trial, I showed up to a locked studio. There was a mixup and Ashton didn't have me in her schedule at our agreed upon time. I was pretty upset as I had had my hair done to see how it would go with my makeup. However, she made it right by quickly rescheduling and not charging me for the trial. The rescheduled trial went well and I really liked my makeup look. Ashton told me that she would send over some wedding day information in the next week or two. I waited until it was a week before my wedding and then contacted Ashton. She was quick to respond, but wasn't answering my question about when she would arrive on wedding day. I was waiting on her to finalize a schedule to give to my bridesmaids. After reaching out a couple of times, I finally got the response, four days before, that she would be unable to provide services on my wedding day.

Ashton is a magician. The talent she carries is impressive. Ashton traveled from Omaha to Council Bluffs to do airbrush makeup for my mother, 3 bridesmaids and myself. All of us gi...

rls have entirely different skin and complexions. She was able to go from one gal to the next without skipping a beat. She was really sweet to work with and easy to talk with. She was extremely responsive when I had questions about lipstick to purchase for the day of in the event some wore off. The airbrush and lashes never melted off in the extreme heat of my non air conditioned wedding and reception. I slept in my makeup and it looked great the next morning. (I should be better about my facial cleansing routine). Thank you so much Ashton for being so amazing and sharing your talent with me.
