Marilyn Manson has been performing for most of his life.
For years, most people never saw Manson photographed without his make-up on.
In 2015, he explained toThe Faderthat his interest in make-up dates back to his childhood.
“My mom used to put her wigs and lipstick on me when I was little.
Wonder how I ended up here.”
In 2016, he toldNylonthat less is more these days.
He continues, “It gives you more of a palette to work with when you make it blank.
People don’t recognize me if I’m not wearing makeup or if I grow a goatee or something.
It affords me the ability to be more chameleon-like.”
