Mykie of Glam and Gore is a self-taught LA-based professional beauty and special effects makeup artist. Unlike other makeup artists, Mykie does not deal with glamorous looks alone. Instead, she goes for scary and sometimes downright gross special effects. Her YouTube channel’s description reads, “Things are about to get pretty ugly” and truly, they do.
When you go through Mykie’s videos, you may first be confused, as the channel’s content is somewhat paradoxical – mesmerizing yet scary, dare I even say traumatizing. The makeup artist has mastered her craft, and she is definitely one of the best in the game.

Who is Glam and Gore dating?

Mykie and Padilla announced their secret relationship in matching Instagram posts followed by a video on her channel titled ‘Taking Off My BOYFRIEND’S….. Makeup” in late 2019.
In the 27-minute video, Mykie slowly removes a prosthetic mask from Padilla’s face and neck while answering questions about their relationship, revealing his identity at the end.
The couple revealed that they had been together for around 3 months and decided to announce their relationship sooner than expected because it had become too hard to hide something this big from their audiences.
On his IG caption, Anthony wrote,
keeping a relationship this incredible a secret for so long has been a challenge. when someone sweeps you off your feet and reminds you why every moment in life is beautiful, you want to turn into a puddle of sap and shout it from a mountain top. @Mykie is the most wonderful human I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing and I’m fortunate enough to call her my girlfriend – and beyond that, a partner and true teammate in life. Her charisma and the warmth she radiates and her sheer talent and creative drive holys*it I finally get to introduce you to my favorite person on this entire planet. feelsgoodman.
Mykie’s caption was equally as mushy, calling the YouTube creator “the most humble, modest, down to earth person I know” followed by “genuine, sincere loving, fun, patient, calm, attentive” both on and off camera.
On September 2020, the couple celebrated their first anniversary, and Mykie took to IG to appreciate her beau. She posted a steamy photo of herself and Padilla with the caption,
Today, as a Wednesday, has been a really challenging day for several reasons. Lots of hiccups, in a lot of physical pain, lots of things out of my control & plans derailed. Yaknow.. one of *those days*. & there’s been a lot of that in 2020. But even the worst kinds of *those days* have ALWAYS been made so much better with this one by my side. This was the first lil photoshoot I ever took of us. Before the internet knew & Anthony chopped his hair off. The beginning of the most fortunate year of my life, thanks to the most loving partner I could ever ask for. Happy one year @anthonypadilla ❤️
Pets
Mykie owns two dogs – Ripley and Creature – who have their own Instagram account. Glam and Gore Ripley and Creature are beautiful Alaskan Klee Kai.
In an interview with helloBARK!, Mykie was asked about Ripley’s personality, to which she replied,
She is WILD. Incredibly funny and intelligent. High energy but so sweet when she’s tired. Sometimes I forget she doesn’t understand what I’m saying to her, because it feels like we genuinely have conversations sometimes. I’ve had a lot of dogs growing up but she by far has the most personality of any dog I’ve ever seen. Klee Kai being very talkative certainly helps with that one. There isn’t a day that goes by that she doesn’t surprise me with something new.
