A makeup artist who worked on Britney Spears’ 2007 music video ‘Gimme More’ has shared her experience of working on the troubled shoot.

Mikal Sky was Britney Spears’ personal makeup artist for the video which was filmed during a turbulent time in Spears’ personal life.

In an interview with the website Money Making Makeup Artist, Sky revealed that the ‘Blackout’ star refused to follow the director’s vision and ended up taking control of the shoot.

Mikal explained: “One of the defining moments of my career was working with Britney. I was her personal MUA for the ‘Gimme More’ music video and a couple of photo shoots. She had just shaved her head and was getting nothing but bad press.”

She went on: “She sabotaged the director by refusing to perform and follow the script. So, what we got was her dancing on a stripper pole with her friends.”

Summing up her thoughts on the ‘Gimme More’ video the makeup artist said: “It was an honest and playful performance during a very rough time and I am proud of how gorgeous she was.”
