Famed makeup guru Billy B — is considered one of the best in the business and has been venting to pals that
a former underling, now Gaga’s makeup artist, has been taking credit for his signature “look.”
“Billy was responsible for Gaga’s ever-changing image and her ‘glam’ looks. He showed her that she could be beautiful and didn’t have to hide behind masks,” one source who has worked with him tells Confidenti@l.
But the battle started after Gaga moved on to makeup artist Tara Savelo (near r.), who happens to be Billy B’s former assistant.
When E! Online posted a story crediting her with the singer’s most famous looks, Billy (r.) was “hurt,” he tells us. Making matters worse, Gaga poached Savelo after meeting her on the set of the “Bad Romance” video, for which Billy did the makeup.
“By Tara positioning herself (for supposedly cultivating those looks), she’s insinuating those were her creations,” Billy tells us. “For people to read that she’s responsible for the look, no. This is all I’ve got, and I’m proud of it. This is not gonna happen, girl.”
Billy adds that Savelo is no longer working for Gaga.
