Marilyn Manson
It probably won’t surprise you that Marilyn Manson doesn’t rely on a professional for his signature, theatrical makeup. In fact, he once told Interview Magazine that he’s always handled it himself, applying it in a spontaneous, no-rules way—basically just using his fingers and going with the flow.
In recent years, Manson has taken on more acting roles, which has meant stepping in front of the camera without his usual dramatic look. When the makeup comes off, it reveals a much softer, almost youthful appearance—quite a contrast to the intense image he projects on stage.
