isn't kabuki a guy?

I was actually expecting Kabuki makeup when I saw this thread...
Anyway these are excellent
his style is like "alien" (*o*)
It says on his bio that he's influenced by his illustrator friend Errol Le Cain
and he originally was a textile designer before being caught up in makeup

isn't kabuki a guy?

^ I was wondering about that, but somehow I get the impression s/he wouldn't mind creating a little confusion. ​

I've noticed Kabuki while browsing online shrines to new wave and the '80s, and so have managed to associate his(?) work with things I love. And even to place it among them - I dare say, keep on with the pictures please..

^His wild make-up fits the styling and setting pretty well.

Does he work for Lady GaGa?Saw a candid of GaGa on his site....

 

[flyme2themoon]

That candid of Gaga is from the 2009 MTV VMA's. A link to her performance video from that night is also posted on his site... so perhaps that was the only time he worked for her?

Billy B often does Gaga's makeup.
