KISS Reveal The Secrets To Great Make-Up
March 14, 2010, 14 years ago
ITN is reporting:
They have spent more than 30 years wearing their distinctive make-up and now heavy metallers KISS are letting us in on the secret to their trademark look.
The group revealed they think of it like war paint and have always applied it themselves.
Drummer Eric Singer said: "It's part of the ritual, it's like preparing for battle. I don't think anybody had wardrobe people putting their armor and battle gear on when soldiers would go out and fight. Every soldier prepares his gun and knows how it works and we do the same thing."
The band has spent years perfecting its regime and could probably teach many women a thing or two.
Singer said: "There is a proper technique for putting the make-up on and a proper way for taking it off. Everybody thinks: 'My god, it must be so damaging'. Actually it's not."
"It's oil-based," added frontman Gene Simmons. "You wind up washing your face more and that's the best thing you can do for your skin."
