Vanessa Davis is a makeup artist who describes herself as “The Skulltress.” Seeing her works, we can say she deserves to be called one.
Davis loves to paints skulls and uses her beautiful face as canvas. Her facial art does not include simple skulls but features incredibly intricate drawings with vivid colors. Her collection of face paints are so remarkable, it catapulted her to fame, gaining more than 700k followers on Instagram.
Using colorful cosmetics, she paints diverse skull patterns that either cover her whole face or just part of it. Her artworks are not limited to skulls alone, she also designs other things such as butterflies, fish, birds, and many more. But the skull theme is her favorite.
“I noticed that the successful makeup accounts specialized in either a particular style or subject, so I chose skulls, which also worked as my heritage in Mexican and English. I’m fascinated by how skulls are portrayed in fashion, art and tattoo art, particularly by Alexander McQueen and Damien Hirst,” she told Awesomebyte.
