Makeup artist reveals the rudest Aussie celebrity she has ever worked with
High-profile makeup artist Ashlee Day has spoken of her encounter with an Australian celebrity she described as the “rudest” in the business.
Ashlee said the celebrity, whom she did not name, refused to speak to her while she was putting on her makeup and then “yelled at her.”
She was 19 years old at the time and just getting started in the makeup industry, so she was understandably shocked by the incident.
While she did not identify the celebrity, Ashlee said she had worked for free that day and had to reapply the star’s makeup after she turned down her first look.
Ashlee, who has 750,000 followers on TikTok, revealed that she left work on the verge of tears and cried all the way home.

“I was freaking out because I’m 19 and this girl was a huge celebrity at the time…she gets up out of her chair and goes, ‘Oh honey, that’s not at all what I wanted,'” Ashlee said.
After removing the star’s makeup and starting over, Ashlee said her client refused to speak to her and gave her no instructions on what makeup look she was going for.
Ashlee kept asking, ‘Baby, do you like how your makeup looks?’ but the mystery celebrity refused to answer.

He wasn’t saying “baby”, he was saying her name. She still wasn’t answering me. She was standing there like, “WTF, I’m going to fuck off,” she continued.
“Her manager came over and said it was ‘perfect baby’ and I had 15 minutes to go.
“I got in my car and literally cried. That was so painful. They didn’t pay me. I never uploaded anything to my Instagram. They promised me respect and an Instagram story and got nothing.
“I’ve finished my makeup and she’s like, ‘I really don’t like my makeup.’ I said, “Well, you didn’t tell me what you wanted.” I’m kidding, I didn’t say that, I literally buttoned up [because I] I was 19 years old and I was nervous.
Ashlee said the celebrity’s manager told her to leave.
“She said she didn’t like blush… but that’s my style,” she added.
‘They must have liked my work [to book me]. She went back to the dressing room and fixed everything herself, and the manager told me to leave.
Some fans speculated that the celebrity was either Jessika Power (pictured) or Martha Kalifatidis
Others suspected it was reality star-turned-radio host Abbie Chatfield (pictured)
I packed up my shit nearly in tears as people yelled at a 19 year old. The moral of the story is, don’t do anything for free. They are crazy! she concluded.
Ashlee’s followers were soon trying to guess which celebrity she was referring to.
Some speculated that it was Jessika Power or Martha Kalifatidis, while others thought it was Abbie Chatfield. Daily Mail Australia does not suggest that it was any of these people.

However, one user pointed out that Abbie and Ashlee follow each other on Instagram.
It has to be Abbie Chatfield. She was on The Bachelor in 2019 when Ash was 19 years old. She never wears winged eyeliner. The way Ash described how the person talked is exactly how Abbie talks. Especially with all the “baby” talk, one fan commented.
‘Ash only follows 153 people and one of them is Abbie. I don’t think he would continue to follow Abbie if he treated her like this,” another replied.
“Supposedly it’s Jessika Power,” a third follower wrote, while a fourth suggested it could be Skye Wheatley from Big Brother.
