Ashlee Rice

I am a Dallas native with 15 years of experience in professional makeup. I loved theater makeup in college and that is what inspired so much of what I do. I traveled on Estee Lauder\'s regional MUA team and was in business management for counter sales, Dallas regional freelance MUA for Lancome, developed limited edition cosmetics for TIGI Bed Head, as well as, worked as the onsite MUA for high end retailer Julian Gold in Midland with such lines as La Prairie and Paula Dorf. For the last six years I have owned Let\'s Face It Makeup Studio here in Midland, TX. I specialize in bridal, boudoir, underwater, black light, HD broadcast, special occasion, Halloween/fantasy/costuming, and am self taught at hand painted and latex body art. I promote organic skin practice and have sold Jane Iredale the skincare makeup for 6 years, as well as, serve as a regional MUA for Jane Iredale. I am also a brand partner for Nerium AD. My work has also carried me into production design and art direction for broadcast, photo shoots, as well as, the MAASquerade Ball masked ball benefiting MAAS in 2011 and 2012. My philosophy is to empower women to embrace their own God-given beauty. I love to tell a story and awe with fantasy makeup. My favorite way to paint is to create art on an expectant mother\'s belly. That is when a woman is most beautiful. www.letsfaceitstudio.com
