Maddie (@maddskully)
Though I barely found out about her today, I am absolutely amazed by the talent and skills of this 17-year-old special effects makeup artist! Oh, she's also self-taught. Pretty impressive, huh?
Although all of Maddie's work is amazing, I think this stained glass sugar skull look is my favorite.
Jen Dean (@miss_stryx)
I came across one of Jen Dean's pictures through Instagram Explore and fell in love with all of her clown makeup looks. They're honestly so nicely done.
