Pulled these shots from the archives from @ladygaga ‘s Paparazzi video. On set she decided she wanted to bleed diamonds and gold so wardrobe gave me some gems, I crushed them with a hammer, and worked them right into the wounds and blood. The scar was a simple buildup, but when it all came together it looked pretty bitchin’.🖤

One of the most rewarding chapters of my career was being part of the TV series Face Off. It was such a joy mentoring incredibly talented artists, sharing knowledge, creativity, and watching so many contestants grow into amazing professionals in this industry. I’m forever grateful for the friendships, memories, and artistic moments we created together along the way. ✨ #veneill #faceoff #makeuptutorial #makeup #mua
