(Cover) - EN Star Style - Make-up artist Jake Bailey has praised Katy Perry for being an "incredible muse".

Jake has helped create stunning looks for celebrities including Angelina Jolie and Taylor Swift as well as pop star Katy.

The beauty expert claims the raven-haired beauty is one of the best stars to work with, thanks to her adventurous nature and desire to be different.

"Katy is an incredible muse. Rarely do I get a client who has more fun with her make-up. She doesn't take it too seriously and is always down to try something new," beamed Jake in an interview with Beauty High.

Katy sports a variety of daring styles on the red carpet and in her music promos. The songstress always has a major influence on her appearance, and likes to be in control of how she looks. Jake explains how perseverance is key when collaborating with Katy, as she always strives to achieve a unique aesthetic.

"Getting Katy ready for an event or a magazine cover is always an inspiring creative collaboration. We both have a lot of ideas and work together to find the perfect look...sometimes trying as many as five lip colours to find the perfect one," added the cosmetics guru. (C) Cover Media
