For those who missed it, Ashley’s rise to fame started on April 24, when the first episode of Instant Influencer premiered on YouTube. Throughout the four episodes of the reality competition series, the aspiring beauty guru not only showed off her artistry skills, but often came out on top during the various challenges and, in the end, was awarded the $50,000 grand prize.
Back in November, before the show premiered, James told fans, “As a kid growing up, reality competition shows were literally the only thing I watched on TV and, if I’m being honest with you guys they are still to this day my guilty pleasure. When I first started getting into makeup and social media, one of my biggest goals that I set for myself was to have my own competition show one day.”
