Our mantra
as seen in:
Ashley is a graduate of Makeup Designory in Soho NYC and has about 14 years of professional experience in the makeup industry. Born and raised in New Jersey, Ashley has worked for elite brands in her career including MAC Cosmetics, Chanel, Clinique, Charlotte Tilbury & Anastasia Beverly Hills.

Additionally, she has done makeup for over 11 prestige fashion shows backstage at Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week. Through her years of education in makeup, she also trained in LA for Anastasia Beverly Hills!
Her passion for leading in the industry with her knowledge, client service and artistry skill set is what gave her the push to create something special and Allured Artistry was born. She felt there was a need for a space in the industry where beauty & client connection join forces. Ashley has extensive training in her field and has since built an award winning team that has the same passion for creating looks for lifetime events.
Aside from her passion for artistry, team building and client services, she is a wife and a proud mother of five. When she's not servicing her sweet clients, she is cooking dinner and folding lots of laundry.

My experience was nothing short of AMAZING. Not only did I receive top tier service from these wonderful ladies, I do believe I've gained a friendship out of it as well. Ashley and Erin KILLED our makeup and I could not have asked for a better duo!!!

Ashley was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding! From the moment she arrived, she was timely, professional, and always had a warm smile on her face. On the morning of our wedding, she made every single one of my family members feel beautiful and confident. One moment that really stood out to me was watching her do my 90-year-old grandma’s makeup. She was so gentle and thoughtful in her application, ensuring my grandma felt comfortable throughout the process. It was such a touching experience, and truly reflects how much care Ashley puts into her work. I have zero hesitation in booking her again for any future events. Highly recommend!

I had never worn makeup in my adult life. I didn't know what to ask for or what I wanted, but I knew that I had to look flawless on my big day! My bridal party and I all have different shades of melanin-kissed skin, so I was not looking for a one- size- fits- all kind of deal. I found Ashley on Instagram and decided to give her a try for my engagement photos. I was so blown away, I booked her on the spot for my wedding, summer party, and any future event that required MUA services.
She arrived early (and drove all the way to Yorktown for me), dealt with the unpredictable schedule of my bridesmaids with the highest class, and was just like having a close friend do my makeup. I cannot thank her enough for being part of our big day!

I hired Elisha to do wedding makeup for me, my bridesmaids, and the mothers of the bride and groom. She did an amazing job on all looks! Not only are her makeup skills on point, but she is such a sweet and fun person to be around. I definitely recommend hiring her for your makeup needs!

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! 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!! Thank you Allured Artistry!! for your makeup needs!
