ASHLEY LITTLE BEAUTY | makeup & tans

Ashley Little Beauty is run by Ashley, a makeup and spray tan artist who works mobile, so every appointment takes place at the client's home or another location the client picks. Additional travel fees may apply for locations outside the artist's preferred radius. The business describes its experience as a luxury beauty service brought directly to clients.

Services include airbrush spray tans and makeup for weddings, special events, photoshoots and everyday occasions, with wedding and event bundles available. Groups of three or more can request a personalized package by contacting the business. Bookings are made through an online booking page powered by Vagaro.

Before a tan, clients are asked to exfoliate thoroughly 24 hours ahead, skip showering within 4 hours of the appointment, and keep the skin completely dry. Lotion, oils, deodorant, perfume and makeup should be avoided on the day, and shaving or waxing should be done at least 24 hours before. Loose, dark clothing and removed jewelry are recommended for the session.

For aftercare, the business recommends oil-free body washes such as Aveeno, CeraVe and Native, and suggests avoiding products with mineral oils after a tan. Lightweight, oil-free lotions such as Aveeno, Hempz and Vaseline Cocoa Butter are recommended, along with sunscreens including Sun Bum, COOLA and Neutrogena Hydro Boost SPF. The business also notes a film portfolio that includes body and face makeup and hair and makeup work.

Looks are built around each client, aiming to bring out natural beauty with a radiant, sun-kissed tan and makeup suited to their style and occasion.
