About Gloss | Meet Ashley

Hello gorgeous, thanks for stopping by! I am Ashley, the girl behind Gloss Makeup. I started Gloss because I have always been obsessed with makeup and I love sharing that with my friends and family, and now with gorgeous women such as yourself. I am located in Saskatchewan, but travel nationally and internationally.

I am a photographer, and have been for many years. I thought it would be so useful to take a course to ensure that number one, I was doing my own makeup properly, that I was being as hygienic as possible when doing makeup for friends, and to learn new techniques! It was just an added bonus that this way I could also do makeup for my photography clients, should the need ever arise.

I attended Eveline Charles Academy in Calgary and took their Makeup Level One course, and attained my makeup certification in April 2015. I watch a ton of youtube tutorials because I think that there are so many amazing makeup artists out there, and you can always learn something new from everyone! I love taking classes and workshops to not only maintain my skills, but also learn new ones and learn about new products.

Some of my favorite brands represented in my kit include M.A.C., Tarte, Make Up For Ever, Urban Decay, Stila, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Sephora, Younique, Kat Von D, Benefit, Buxom, Dior, NARS, Viseart, and many many more!
