Meet Torin Ashtun, the model-painter who stars in campaigns for Adidas and KKW Beauty and swears by DIY skincare.
For Torin Ashtun, the knockout model with sky-high cheekbones and an Afro comprised of perfect spirals, modeling is about more than just getting the perfect shot. “It’s about telling stories,” she says.
Torin started painting at age 4; it’s long been a source of solace in uncertain times. Growing up in Long Beach, “my family and I were homeless and lived in a shelter for three years when I was 6,” Ashtun said. “But my mom did the best she could as a single mother and immigrant. She taught us how to escape through creativity whether it was painting or sewing.”
Ashtun took a DIY approach to self-care and beauty. “As I grew up I realized it’s important to care for yourself and be conscious of the essence you bring into a room,” Ashtun says. “Around that time, I began creating my own face masks. There wasn’t much money around to buy beauty products but my sister’s dad had a garden that I would grab items from.” Because her mom was against makeup, Ashtun taught herself a few tricks using YouTube tutorials.
