I feel like some make-up artists do not get the recognition they so rightfully deserve outside the fashion industry because they are rarely mentioned. Instead, they let their work speak for them instead of taking all the credit for their genius. That's why as I was browsing through the pages of my favorite make-up book and scrolling through google (yes, I multi-task like that), I decided to create a list of atleast 5 make-up artists that I think everyone should know (in no particular order) because they deserve to be known by everyone.

Okay, I must admit that this first choice was somewhat biased because BillyB is the current make-up artist of Britney Jean Spears, among others. 

A self-taught make-up artist that started doing make-up for client's at Macy's, BillyB was brave enough to leave his hometown and go to New York City to find better things. To get a job in cosmetics, he invented a story about having prior experience with make-up, a white lie that would kickstart his career in the beauty/fashion industry.

Now, he is one of the top make-up artists in the whole world, doing jobs for various celebrities and magazines. BillyB is the epitome of success and the perfect example of why you should take risks while you're young and to never let the lack of formal education stop you from doing what you love doing.

Kudos to BillyB! 

Here are some of the great work he's done:
