A Little About Me

My name is Ashley, and I’m a self-proclaimed beauty enthusiast and makeup hoarder. I’m also a freelance makeup artist. Like most women, my love for makeup began when I was a little girl and I used to watch my mother apply her makeup. I came from a very strict home so I wasn’t allowed to wear makeup until I was much older. I started Ash’s Beauty Corner because I’m infatuated with all things beauty and I have an appreciation for writing; so, it only made perfect sense to marry both passions and create a dope beauty blog where I can connect with other beauty lovers, share information and make new friends.
