Artist Turns Her Face Into a Work of Art

Meet artist Vanessa Davis aka The Skulltress with more than one million followers on Instagram. Vanessa is followed by many for her incredible face art.

As a skulltress artist, she uses prosthetics, jewels, airbrushing, and more to create her out-of-this-world looks. Her looks range from skulls and built in castles. One time she even created a mohawk out of deconstructed barbies.

To create her look she takes her precious time to make sure her art is on point and flawless. Each look is different from the other and takes hours to create.

Being able to use her talent to express her love for art is both inspiring and fun. She loves the feedback and attention she gets from her fans and gives her all to make sure she delivers.

Her art is truly exceptional! Scroll down to see her work.

This is MAKEUP! Would you time travel backwards or forwards? I would go 500 years into the future and see a Golden Cyborg 🤖💁🏼‍♀️💰I get asked a lot ‘what inspires you?’ When I create a makeup it isn’t a straight line of inspiration. I collect hundreds of pictures. There might be one detail here or another colour or shape there and I draw on many influences to arrive at the final point. I spend days sometimes weeks collecting research because each picture has one unique detail I love about it. I also watch painting techniques on You Tube to facilitate the process. This makes crediting complex, but it will give you an insight into my process. Inspiration impetus @hajimesorayamaofficial beautiful art femme bots and cyborgs. Golden colour and shape of plastic pieces inspired by @marcelocantuphoto Plastic skin @real.alterface eyeball from a digital painting on Pinterest, gold machinery from technical machine drawings, plastic head piece Thomas Ferreolus digital painting. Barcode references, Pinterest. These are the main influences.

This is MAKEUP! FLAMINGO FRIDAY 💕 This was an exercise in symmetry, shading, and patience. The flamingo was suggested by my husband @tomocarb and was heavily inspired by @tinorodriguezartist piece ‘Strange Charm’ comprised of geese, recreated onto my face. I discovered this painting on Pinterest and later discovered Tino’s flamingo piece after this makeup. Tino’s painting work is extraordinary, beautiful and impressive. I’m so inspired by him! Fun fact regarding Flamingos: they are unique birds, not only do they mate for life, they also participate in synchronised mating rituals! The pair both share the task of building the nest together and caring for the babies as a family unit 😍😭💕 ———————————————————————PRODUCTS: EYES: • @certifeye The Affinity Palette ‘Riz’, ‘Alia’ and ‘Munaza’ * @bperfectcosmetics Carnival Palette ‘Funki’, ‘Foolish’ * @hudabeauty Nude Palette ‘Play’ * @makeupforeveroffucial Pure Pigments 8, 12 * @katvondbeauty Lockit SKULL: * @mehronmakeup paradise palette * @makeupforeverofficial 12 Flash Colour Case * Eyeshadows listed above for additional shading SKIN: * @nyxcosmetics_uk Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Foundation in ‘Vanilla’ & ‘Natural + Cant Stop Won’t Stop Concealer in Light Ivory #skullmakeup #skullart #faceart #makeupart #makeupforever #nyxprofessionalmakeup #nyxcosmetics #mehronmakeup #huda #nyxcosmeticsuk ***ALL OF THE COSMETIC AND MAKEUP PRODUCTS WERE GIFTED
