What Marilyn Manson Really Looks Like Underneath All That Makeup

It turns out that Marilyn Manson basically looks like a totally different person without make-up on. In recent years, he's acknowledged that he has both trimmed down his make-up routine and that people have no idea they're around him if he's not wearing anything on his face.

In 2016, he told Nylon that less is more these days.

"Lately, I've mostly been wearing, I don't know if I'd call it a more masculine version of makeup, but it's less. Sometimes when I don't wear lipstick I like the way that looks better, because it looks like I got beat up... Black eyeliner is something that always suited me because I shave my eyebrows and it brings out the strange shape of my head."

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."
