Vicky Clerici Unveils The Mysteries Of Mask Making

Vicky Clerici (A.K.A MakeupBilly) is a mask, apparel, and FX makeup talent out of Montreal, Canada, whose huge passion for all things horror helped pave the path she now walks. Collecting masks drove Clerici to start developing her own line, the kind that she would want to buy for herself, she asserts, if she weren’t making them. Combining top of the line materials and a personal touch, she makes each mask by hand from start to finish, sharing behind the scenes videos of the whole process online. Making each mask takes a considerable amount of time (with custom pieces taking up to a month or more depending on how detailed and intricate the design), but Clerici enjoys collaborating with fans and other artists in her creations.

Here are just a few pieces that are available right now on the Official MakeUpBilly webstore.
