Porn stars are usually caked in makeup, but now, they’re taking it all off.
In March, a stunning photo series by makeup artist Melissa Murphy showed what x-rated celebrities look like when they truly bare it all by removing lipstick, eyeliner and blush. Now, Murphy is back with another montage of cosmetics-free adult stars that we’d like to call “Not On My Face Vol. 2”
Murphy, who has been a makeup artist for eight years and posts photos of her work on Instagram, told HuffPost Weird News that the popularity of her first batch of photos “was kind of crazy.”
At first, she experienced some backlash from subjects who mistakenly accused her of selling the photos. Now that’s she’s cleared that up, “everything has been pretty positive,” she says.
The extra exposure led to more job offers for Murphy, 35. She noted that many women outside of the industry want her to do their makeup for weddings and other events.
She receives so many emails from women asking for makeup tips that she plans to start a YouTube channel showing exactly how she does it.
First, she’s headed to India for a makeup gig on the set of “Jackpot,” an upcoming Bollywood movie starring Sunny Leone.
Murphy is thrilled with the newfound admiration for her line of work. “So many people say, ‘I never saw makeup as an art form before’… People use the word ‘art’ now with makeup”. Source: huffingtonpost
