Creative Countess
Ash started their makeup artist journey in Oklahoma City, OK in 2014 and never looked back. Creative Countess was born in 2020 from their intense passion for art, special effects and makeup. They wanted to create an inclusive experience for people of all backgrounds to express their innermost selves through makeup and paint. Creative Countess was founded to be a one-stop-shop for not only your graduation and wedding makeup needs, but also your bodypainting, scars, bloody special effects, studio, cosplay needs or whatever your heart desires. Their passion lies with art and the people it represents.
When Ash isn't covered in paint, painting someone else or working on projects or commissions, they are planning new cosplays, watching anime, playing Pokemon or spending time with their faithful pupper, Quinn.
