Bowie's personal make-up artist in 1973 was Pierre La Roche from The House of Arden. It was La Roche who applied the lightning bolt motif to Bowie's face for the ALADDIN SANE (1973) album cover photo and the astral sphere make-up on Bowie's forehead. For special performance and photo sessions he enlisted the aid of La Roche.
“He has a perfect face for makeup you see. He has even features, high cheekbones and a very good mouth. I have to be careful though because his skin is very fine and some of the base powders I use are very strong. They can make the face quite soft.”
Pierre Laroche is credited with Cover Girl Make Up on Roxy Music's Stranded album in 1973. He also designed the outlandish makeup for Tim Curry and the Transylvanians in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and he was the makeup artist of both Mick and Bianca Jagger and David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust persona.
