The 'High School Musical' star has teamed up with BH Cosmetics to produce her own range of cosmetics, titled 'Illuminate', and has revealed it has been a tough process to get everything exactly how she wants.

She said: "I'm someone who loves makeup - I love doing my own makeup and getting my makeup done - and I had specific ideas for what I wanted the palettes to look like so they would represent me.

"I love the whole California beachy look, and I love glowy bronze. I think makeup is supposed to illuminate you. Hence, the title Illuminate ...

"It was good that I did [go in early] because the first time they printed it, it was tad off, so they did another print. There is a lot that goes into every detail."

The company also praised the 30-year-old actress, insisting it was a "match made in heaven" because of Ashley's beauty past.

Reed Cromwell, who is the director of product development at BH Cosmetics, added to Women's Wear Daily: "The cool thing about Ashley is she's been in the [entertainment] industry since she was a kid, so she's been in the makeup chair for many years.

"She knows makeup and she knows texture. It was a match made in heaven. It wasn't just a celebrity coming to put their name on something. She's challenged me to come up with new ideas and innovation."
