2019: Half Year Recap

Ashley Watts Beauty July 2, 2019

I feel like 2019 is just starting, but in reality we’re moving into the 7th month — meaning we’re over half way done with this year. If you recall, last year was my first official year doing only freelance makeup artistry. So you can only imagine how exciting this year has been.

Business Highlights:

Signed with Directions USA as a hair/makeup artist
Got my work published in Elle Magazine for their July issue.
Worked with Madison Iseman on a personal project in LA.
Helped host the 2019 NCHMUA Summit with Sam.
Went to NOLA for a class with Latia, working with Gregory Arlt and Romero Jennings.
