Ashley Greene Gives Beauty Advice

She’s gone through her fair share of beauty transformations for the four installments of Twilight — from pale makeup to ever-changing wigs — but when she’s off set, Ashley Greene is all about maintaining a low-key look.
“I have a very laid back and easy beauty routine,” she tells BellaSugar.com. “I wash my face about three times a day, drink lots of water and exercise when I can.” And though she doesn’t depend on a ton of makeup to get her through the day, she has a few simple staples she uses regularly. “Every day I wear concealer, mascara and lip gloss,” she reveals. “I’ve also become proactive about my skincare now that I’m in my early twenties.”

And thanks to the countless hours logged in makeup chairs, the mark model has learned her fair share of beauty tricks — though they don’t always apply to daily life! “One of the best makeup tricks I’ve learned was from my makeup artist,” she says. “My character was supposed to look like she wasn’t wearing makeup, so she drew realistic looking freckles on top of my makeup. If you weren’t wearing any foundation or concealer that’s what you would see. I thought it was genius.”

Ashley Michele Greene was born in Jacksonville, Florida to parents Joe a former US Marine, and Michele an insurance broker. A self confessed tomboy and "daredevil", Ashley loved to try to keep up with her older brother Joe, taking on activities such as taekwondo and winning several awards. Ashley says she was not allowed to spar the girls in taekwondo class because she "beat the girls up." She even accidentally once gave a boy she liked a bloody nose and lip while sparring. Ashley admits she is a "competitive little sucker."

During her early teen years Ashley found herself hanging out with older girls, which impacted her self esteem when she found them to be more mature and in her mind, prettier than she was. Ashley describes herself as a "hot mess" as a teenager. Ashley's mother put her into modeling classes to improve her confidence, and Ashley began to consider becoming a model as a career. After being told she was too short to be a model, Ashley considered becoming a lawyer and getting a degree in psychology. She actually convinced her parents to let her leave her private school to attend a public one which had a law and psychology program. However after taking a commercial class, which led to acting class, Ashley knew what she wanted to do - acting.

Luckily for Ashley, her parents were supportive and allowed her to move to LA at seventeen years of age. Due to her excellent grades and extra credits, she was able to graduate high school early to follow her acting dream.

For three years, Ashley struggled to find acting roles. She picked up small roles here and there in TV shows such as Punk'd and Crossing Jordan, and some very small film roles in Shrink and King of California.

Ashley's big break came when she got to audition for the film Twilight, based on Stephenie Meyer's popular book series. She originally auditioned for Bella, but as she says herself "I was no Bella." She was called back to audition for the role of Alice Cullen. After a long auditioning process, Ashley was finally told she got the part.

Ashley had previously worked in restaurants, but like the rest of her fellow Twilight cast mates Ashley found herself suddenly thrust into the limelight. Though she says she doesn't get the same kind of insanity as the boys - especially Rob Pattinson. She says most fans relate to her on a "best friend" level rather than screaming at her hysterically.

Ashley has already begun filming other roles and has high hopes for her career outside of the Twilight franchise. She has said she wants to be a superhero, a Bond girl and possibly Wonder Woman in future projects.
