Outstanding Contemporary Hairstyling

All American The Bigger Picture Synopsis When a college scout comes to talk to Spencer, he must decide if the strings attached is worth it. Technical Description The unique challenge of The Bigger Picture was using almost exclusively heatless techniques while creating styles that suited the contemporary culture of our young cast. A library of approaches were used to achieve the perfect kinky twists, swirly wavy edges and sleek ponytails which included flexible rods, finger coiling, braids, roller sets, expert use of product and twisting of textured hair. With zero last looks (due to Covid) and minimal to no heat we achieved high artistry and precise continuity.

Away Goodnight Mars Synopsis Emma's behavior becomes a cause for concern, Kwesi and Lu team up on a plant mystery, and Rex makes an impulsive decision with far-reaching consequences. Technical Description I chose this Episode 7, Goodnight Mars for the natural resecting of hair. The hairstyles executed were with exclusion techniques to create a natural appearance while respecting the personalities of each character.

Behind Her Eyes Behind Her Eyes Synopsis A stunning revelation makes Louise dig deeper into David and Adele's past, and what she discovers pushes her to demand the truth. Technical Description To make the series work, we had to change the look of every characters’ hair from the present-day to the flashbacks (still contemporary, just a few years earlier). Louise, our protagonist had a big transformation using wigs, wefts, and hair extensions. As we were never shooting in sequence, many of the looks needed to be changed quickly. Adele’s hair showed her characters age as the series developed. In the flashbacks she has long hair to symbolizes her youth using ¾ wigs, whilst in the present day it was a short Bob. We had to cut and colour it. Rob had all his hair shaved off, to look like a guy from Glasgow and David had his hair curly for the younger look, which was dyed darker for the older look. Hair plays an important role in the series, especially as it develops since it reveals many clues and characters growth. black-ish Our Wedding Dre Synopsis Pops and Ruby are getting re-married! And Dre's intimate wedding plans go awry when Pops' brother, Uncle Norman, shows up unexpectedly for the festivities. Meanwhile, Ruby refuses Bow's offer to help with preparations until an unanticipated situation gives her an opening to save the big day. Technical Description Ruby's hair was twisted up high w/elegance and style into a beautiful Turban fit for a Queen on her Wedding Day. Bow's curly texture hair was intricately braided down and swirled into a bun. Zoey hair was slicked into 2 buns with Curl products. Extension hair braided into Fishtail's and wrapped around the buns to create a textured look w/ contemporary hair Jewelry. Diane braids were gathered up into a Big Fishtail loose ponytail. Charms were placed on the braid to create a whimsical look. Lead male, mid length sponge rolled coils, done w/ mousse and pomade. Beard, brides the gap in men's styling moisturized w/ beard oil and balm. Everything cut freehand w/ a clipper, scissors, an electric razor and edged up w/ linear and enhanced w/ human fibers for exactness.

Bob Hearts Abishola A Tough Old Bird Synopsis Bob and Abishola try to help a sad and Volatile Kemi, who after being dumped by Chukwuemeka, struggles with the reality that her happiest years might be behind her. Sitting in front of her bathroom mirror a defeated Kemi removes her wig revealing grey braids underneath. Folake's short natural hair.

Technical Description Our actress has dark short hair. The writers wanted to reveal Kemi taking her wig off in the scene to reveal her grey braided hair underneath. Our actress has neither grey hair nor braids so I braided and colored a lace wig grey with ben-nye snow white and silver grey hair color. Then crimp-ironed the wig to give it more of a coarse African texture. Then we applied a second wig on top of the grey wig. In the scene it appears that once Kemi removes her wig the viewer sees Kemi for the first time without a wig. In reality it’s another wig underneath. The Abishola character’s hair is a wig as well. We cornrow braid the top and sides and individually braid the back. We also add in extension hair to each braid in the wig for bulk and length.

The Boys

What I Know Synopsis Season Two Finale. Becca shows up on Butcher’s doorstep and begs for his help to get Ryan back. The Boys agree to back Butcher, and together with Starlight, they finally face off against Homelander and Stormfront. But things go very bad, very fast.

Technical Description Using simple methods of creating looks works best here. Homelander hairstyle evolves from soft to more controlled, tighter. Maeve wears more modern soft curls. 80% of The Females (Kimiko) natural hair was hidden using mesh to pull tighter, giving a slimmer profile. Scars cut into Frenchies hair in 3 places. Stormfront shaved side represents duality and a remanence of the 3rd Reich. All stunt doubles wigged including Starlight ponytail. Call Your Mother Dating Jean Synopsis Jackie decides she needs to be Jean's relationship guru and helps her land a date with a guy from the farmer's market; Freddie worries that he's not interesting enough for Celia when he learns about her dating history and decides to make a change. Technical Description Kyra Sedgwick’s hair is a lot of fun to create. I use a combination of mousse and heat protectors as a base to her hairstyle. I created her bouncy curls by wrapping it around in different directions with two different sized irons so that it looks natural and finishing it off with hairspray. For her date look, because of the fast pace of sitcoms, I had about five minutes to create the look, so I pull it back and divided it into 5 sections and finished it off with tiny clips. Also, her outfit and hairstyle we felt channeled Olivia Newton John in Grease.

Chad K-Pop Synopsis In search of his identity, Chad joins Asian Appreciation Club and stumbles onto the world and wonder of K- Pop. Technical Description Transforming the beautiful Nasim Pedrad into an awkward 14-year-old high schooler every day was no easy feat! We used all the Bobbi pins/glue/toupee clips/wig caps/gel we had to hide her hair under her wig to fully transform her into the indelible Chad. This episode was particularly fun watching Chad try to find himself and falling headfirst into the world of K-Pop.

Chemical Hearts

Synopsis When a hopelessly romantic high school senior falls for a mysterious new classmate, it sets them both on an unexpected journey that teaches them about love, loss, and most importantly themselves. Technical Description For Grace, I created an unkempt, messy bun. To create fullness, I added extension clips, then minimum backcombed for texture, flipped the hair upside down, shook it, tied it in a bun, and pulled hair where needed. I used these same clips to transform it to the loss wave with a medium-large curling iron and framed it away from her face with a flower crown. I gave Henry a men’s cut with clippers and scissors over comb to create a clean finish without looking too sharp. I blow-dried his hair away from his face with some product and some pieces of hair down, allowing him to run his fingers through it at times. I gave La jumbo braids with mixed hair colors of warm tones and finished with hair jewelry. I re-twisted her new growth and pulled her hair from inside the braid to keep it looking fresh.

Reverend Sweet Tea was wearing a laced wig, affixed using a ghost bond adhesive, cut into a blunt bob. Styling the deacon’s wig, hot rollers were used for curls and an ace bandage was wrapped around his head with Bobby pins to secure the wig. Reverend Chucky’s wig was teased and back combed for the desired height and volume.

Technical Description This natural texture look was created specifically for this episode. Delilah's wig was applied, and hair was styled by using a 1/2 inch curling wand to enhance natural texture. Product used on this style was Earthly Things hair oil to give the hair shine. The technique that was used to curl the hair was to start curling from the root to end and by alternating each curl. This style was maintained by separating the curls to make fluffy.

Emily In Paris

Ringarde

Synopsis When a meeting with an iconic couture house unravels over a basic mistake, Emily finds comfort in the company of a seemingly charming professor.

Technical Description To create this look, you need to section the hair into three parts. One in the back, two on either side of her face, and the third the crown. I pulled back the first section into a sleek ponytail to create the base. Next, I worked on creating texture that would maximize shine and control frizz on the side sections. For this I used BB Mode hairspray which helped me achieve a mirror effect on her hair. I pulled these two sections back and added them to the base ponytail. The last step is to enhance the natural volume of the hair. I used BB Thickening Mousse, then blow dry to lift her root, and then add it to the ponytail. Lastly, I braid her ponytail which I twist into a bun. I used an accessory to frame her face, tying into the elegance of the look. The Equalizer The Equalizer Synopsis Queen Latifah stars as Robyn McCall, an enigmatic former CIA operative who uses her skills to help those with nowhere else to turn. As McCall acclimates to civilian life, she is compelled to use her resources to help a teenager on the run from criminals who framed her for murder. Technical Description A technique I use to style Melody’s hair includes the T3 styling wand, with a twist of the wrist and a on base curl that does the trick to get her beautiful head of waves. On Bishop I use the Dyson supersonic hair dryer and Reuzel grooming hair products, so this carefree silver fox is always slick and manageable. I sculpt Detective Dante’s hair into a perfect afro, with a teasing comb and hair pick to tease and shape each hair into place. Harry wears a hat throughout the day to relax his naturally curly hair into somewhat of a flat mold, then I run some Kevin Murphy hair cream throughout his hair to help weigh the curls down so his hair stays flat with a slight texture.

Euphoria F**k Anyone Who's Not A Sea Blob Synopsis Over the Christmas holiday, Jules reflects on the year with her therapist. Technical Description This special episode focuses on Jules and includes flashbacks to the time leading up to Season 1, as well as a fantasy of her future in New York. Much of the episode takes place in a single session of therapy, which was shot over several days and required diligent continuity. Jules uses fashion to express herself, and changes in hairstyle were used to help convey Jules' moods as well as establish the timeframe for each flashback. Using hair extensions, various color applications, textures, and accessories, the hair styles Jules wears reflect contemporary styling with a forward-thinking edge.

The Expanse

Mother

Synopsis Naomi comes face to face with Filip. Holden and Fred turn the tables. Avasarala closes in on Marco's plot. Technical Description My vision after delving into the script and researching, decided to bring a Universal, Global and diverseness to the hair textures and embellishments from all nationalities and cultures, how humanity in the future, according to the storyline might be.

We travel to Madripoor which is made up of a very diverse, Artistic, Character driven looks (everything from hard core alternative to high fashion styling and Platinum color on Shelby).

Cue Paul who for Halloween is dressed as Superman in a custom hairpiece to accompany the look. Girls5eva Pilot Synopsis The members of Girls5eva reconnect after their only hit, Famous 5eva, is sampled by an up-and-coming rapper, Lil Stinker. Technical Description The flashback to modern day hairstyles were designed by me using period looks from MTV videos, Girl groups from the early 2000, and bringing it back to modern day. When designing and styling the wigs for the cast I used different hair pieces. I did a lot of teasing to the hair and used my Tangle Teezer brush to create volume and mold it into any shape possible. Texture ponytails! I braided the hair and teased it with the brush to add more volume into a frizzy texture. I razor cut the baby bangs to bring back the flashback vibes while leaving the ends blunt. I used my wand iron to add dramatic waves by wrapping the hair mid- way and leaving the ends very loosely to create a half up/down hairstyle. The main four ladies all had a different story to tell, and the hair styles showed that.

Claire, Asher, and Enrique treat a woman whom Claire incorrectly believes is lying, leading her to request Claire off her case on the grounds of being racially profiled.

Technical Description The most challenging and satisfying thing about hair styling, in The Good Doctor, is the wonderful ethnic diversity represented on our show. An understanding of hair texture, what techniques and products work best, as well as cultural preferences. The reason I've chosen this episode in particular, is the funny wonderful Actor, X Mayo, was more than happy to go with her natural Afro. Several products were used ahead of time; after shampoo and condition, oil, jam and combing cream. Then left in twists to dry. Once dried, it's picked out into its glory! Once this process is done once, it just needs retwisting at night. Our other guest star is a female to male trans actor, Emmett Preciado, with beautiful thick almost shoulder length hair. We felt with this character, not to make the style severe; not to fall into a stereotype.

Grand Army

Superman This Sh*t

Synopsis Sid and Victor's science experiments have revealing results. Dom's nonstop hustle takes a toll. Jayson gets into a jazz competition, with a catch. Technical Description I am submitting Episode 6 for review with a focus on the scenes when Dom is doing hair on her clients. This episode displays various contemporary black hairstyles such as box braids, cornrows, crochet braids with a head wrap, and a lace wig. I created two looks on two of her clients in one scene by styling the hair and creating another style on top for a quick hair change to show a before and after look. I achieved this by braiding the hair and applying a lace wig on top and when it was time for the big reveal, I removed the wig and crocheted hair onto the braids that I did and added a scarf to complete the look.

Their mutual manager Jimmy sets them up on a meeting, much to their chagrin. Technical Description Jean plays Deborah Vance, a legendary comedian with a long running Las Vegas show. She's super rich but her look hasn't changed since fame found her. In creating her character, we settled on Three looks: A Show look for stage and public events, that was always an up-do, an At Home look that's casual yet done, and a Raw look for her wig-off vulnerable moments. With no prep time to make wigs, Jean and I dug into our stash and came up with one long wig that I colored to almost platinum and styled to reflect Deborah's dated stage persona, and another wig that I cut into a horseshoe shape and colored to match Jean's hair for a casual look. Finally, the raw look design conveyed her loneliness and indifference.

The Handmaid's Tale Vows Synopsis June contemplates the possibility of freedom.

Technical Description Different haircuts illustrated characters' individual transformations. For Hanna's first look I used her own hair with weft extensions, a blond rooted wig for second look, and a short brown wig for 3rd look. Wigs were exactly duplicated onto 2 doubles. I used a 3/4 back piece with a blown-out texture that could be changed while protecting the actress's hair. Crochet braids for Clara in Barcelona which worked for both character and stunt elements. The other characters required a variety of techniques to represent the cast's diversity. I kept natural curl patterns, dyed hair, used Senegalese twists and sharp beard lines.

The lead character’s hair in this episode has 5 different hairstyles and each has a definitive purpose within the story. With our techniques and materials, we took a method approach.

Once dry I sectioned the right side from the inner eyebrow to make three 1-inch partings that I braided halfway to the back of her head. When I stopped braiding, I secured each one with the small, tiny black rubber bands. I then secured each braid with hair pins. I then began curling all the hair left out with a 1 inch curling iron and spraying each section with LRC Seal It Holding Spritz Spray one curl at a time.

As I trained the team, we all relished being able to employ many of my own traditional protective hairstyling techniques to show just how much each of the characters loved and express themselves in their own unique way through their hairstyle. Naomi's Character had many hairpieces to save valuable changing time.

Pen15

Opening Night

Synopsis It’s opening night. Hearts are exposed, forcing both Anna and Maya to grow up.

Technical Description Episode 7 was particularly fun for me to create looks for the girls’ new opposing roles of actor/stage manager, and all of the cast/crew who were part of the play in this episode. It was important that it be genuine to the era and taking into account how they would have executed the looks being 13 years old. For example, the placement of Maya’s character wig on top of her hero wig, with evidence poking out in the form of bangs, Anna’s serious pony that we did a zig-zag part to keep a bit of her fun side present to remind you she’s still a kid amidst her new power role. All of the cast/stage crew’s hair was curated to how we think they would have shown up authentically. Had fun collaborating to come up with each unique hairstyle throughout the episode.

For All Mankind

Pathfinder

Synopsis With a little help from Molly, Ed plans a career change — as his old Jamestown crew-mates Gordo and Danielle struggle.

Technical Description All of the series regulars of this ensemble cast had to be aged because we jumped 10 years from season 1. FAM’s story took place in Houston, so the hair design needed to be conservative, yet still capture the iconic hair silhouettes of 83’. Margo had the power bob, Tracy, Ellen and Bill wore permed looks, and Gordo had a 3/4 fall to look like he grew his hair out. Actors playing Sally Ride and Lee Atwater were wigged to look like the real people. Fictional news castors were wigged to look like Dan Rather and Connie Chung. Six wigs were used in total on this one episode. I actually had to ventilate more grey one morning to Karen’s topper as the grey wasn’t showing in the dim lighting! Auburn style edit daily, for Piscotti as he was blonde! We aged the hair with pomades, alcohol palettes and silver sharpi’s. Genius: Aretha Amazing Grace Synopsis Aretha records her album Amazing Grace in an older James Cleveland’s church; while Little Re discovers that she’s pregnant with her second child. Technical Description We cut, colored and styled hair and wigs for period and historical matches. The process included prepping actors for hairstyles, cuts and coloring actors' own hair and/or applying wigs, toupees and other hair pieces. The techniques used for cutting were scissor and clipper over comb; graduating and freehand methods were used. Coloring techniques used lightening or darkening actors' hair or wigs to suit characters. Styling techniques used wet setting with rollers and thermal curling with curling irons, finger waving and blow drying. Materials used: hair products and wigs. Tools used: scissors, clippers, curling irons, rollers, hood dryers, combs and brushes.

Godfather Of Harlem The Geechee Synopsis An unlikely partnership proves to be extremely lucrative for Bumpy Johnson and Chin Gigante, but their success puts targets on their backs. Malcolm X fights off attacks on his character and his life. Technical Description Season 2 had begun as a most challenging season, with the COVID protocols, the challenges and anxiety of these trying times. Our leading ladies this season wanted to wear wigs, to save time in the chair and less stress on the hair. It’s great for the actors to wear wigs. After the wig is taken off of the actor, I must block the wig on a wig block, then pin it to the block then set and later style the wig. I must set up times for the actor to come in early enough, to set up hair coloring, haircuts and styling. We must use pomades, curling iron, hot rollers, temporary colors all to create a look of 1964. My job is to collaborate with the directors, writers, other department heads and assistant directors to help develop the character.

The Good Lord Bird

Mister Fred

Synopsis John Brown travels north with Onion, taking refuge at the home of Frederick Douglass and his two wives. When Brown and Douglass clash over methodology, Onion discovers just how complex the fight for justice and human equality really is.

Technical Description The Good Lord Bird hair team used Alcone Blood, Mehuron Sweat and Ben Nye Dirt from Nigel’s Beauty Emporium on over 102 characters. Our 1859 Salon used DAX wax, Murray’s, R+Co Freeway & Catus, Clairol Beautiful Browns, Oribe, Illustrator Hair John Blake wigs and hair. We as a team created and maintained progressively through the use of hair color, products color Marcel techniques, head-wraps braiding and permanent waves. We worked outside maintaining the actors through rain, heat, love and battles to bring James McBride’s book of characters to life. Halston Versailles Synopsis Halston considers a fateful business deal and meets a charismatic escort while struggling with old insecurities ahead of a historic fashion show. Technical Description The Halston hair team transformed actors that represented real-life iconic people in the history of fashion from late 60’s through 80s with flashbacks to the 40s. Research and planning made the progression of characters look seamless as they moved through the story and aged. We used wigs and hairpieces mostly from my stock due to budget constraints. Full lace wigs were glued to the forehead while weft backs and pieces were blended with the actor's real hair into a finished look. Temporary and permanent hair dyes, roller sets, curling iron sets, cutting and perfect blowdrying were some of the techniques we used on all. Powdered wigs were re-dressed more creatively with shades of pink and blue. A cage was built for the Marie Antoinette wigs that opened revealing a bird inside.

The Haunting Of Bly Manor The Beast In The Jungle Synopsis The dream is done, yet danger prevails. Hannah summons the courage to act. A fate worse than death threatens everyone at Bly. Who will pay the price? Technical Description Hairstyling for The Haunting of Bly Manor has a 1980’s feel.

It's A Sin

Episode 1

Synopsis 18-year-olds Ritchie, Roscoe, Colin, Jill, and Ash chase their dreams and embrace their sexuality in 1980s London, just as news of a mysterious virus emerges.

Technical Description The challenge of this piece, was to show the changes in the lives of our cast over a period of ten years. We did this by implementing subtle hair changes. We started with a colour change on our lead actor. His hair was coloured to a mousey brown, and was cut into an almost schoolboy style, which would evolve into an iconic 80’s look, as we follow him on his journey through the years. We tried to stay true to the period by using styling tools and products that were used then. Gas tongs, the original type from the 80’s, styling mousse, and gel, always with an eye to creating that 80’s crispy hair! Moustache’s were a feature throughout, whenever possible we asked our actors to grow a moustache, that we would trim into an 80’s shape. Our aim was to reflect our characters work life and the 80’s gay scene. Jupiter's Legacy Painting The Clouds With Sunshine Synopsis Worried about Sheldon's uncharacteristic behavior, George pays him a visit. A foiled theft lands Hutch on the wrong side of a superpowered crime boss. Technical Description Cast are shown playing their same characters for over 100 years. For the 1920’s flashbacks we prepared 150 handmade lace wigs with finger waves (fingers and gel) and Marcel waves (curling iron) using both vintage and modern techniques that include wet setting, hot rollers, classic barbering and men’s period correct hairdressing. The present-day Superhero look of the cast meant aging with custom hand tied wigs that we coloured, cut, and styled to look as realistic as possible. We also enjoyed creating the edgy young looks of the newest generation. Here we had more wigs, razor cuts, extensions, multi textured styling and modern barbering. Jupiter’s Legacy was challenging, yet a joy to work on.

Lovecraft Country Meet Me In Daegu Synopsis During the Korean War, nursing student and kumiho Ji-Ah crosses paths with a wounded Atticus, who she plans to kill in an act of revenge. But as the two begin to fall in love, Ji-Ah learns that anyone can choose to be a human, or a monster. Technical Description Techniques used: Wig construction of custom full lace wigs. Application consisting of prepping actors with wet wrapping of their hair. Applying lace wigs. Securing with 3-inch hair pins. Gluing lace front on hairline. 1950’s hairstyle cutting using shears. Hairstyling wigs using magnetic roller sets and hair drying. Staying wigs with marcel thermal irons. Barbering using hair clippers and trimmers. Straight razors for shape ups as well as facial hair.

Lucifer

It Never Ends Well For The Chicken

Synopsis The year is 1946. The world is black and white. And Lucifer is the star of his own noir detective story featuring familiar characters in new roles.

Technical Description The script is set in modern day with flashbacks to the 1940s. We styled many wigs for actors to take their look to the glamorous days of the 1940s. Some characters were playing a much more glamorous version of themselves and others were playing a more masculine role, in this episode. With the help of roller sets, hair gel, bryl cream, curing techniques, up do’s, a line-up of haircuts, and lots of bobby pins, we all came together and collaborated to make this episode come to life.

The Mandalorian

Chapter 16: The Rescue

Synopsis The Mandalorian and his allies attempt a daring rescue.

Technical Description The four (anti) heroines in this episode were styled with a mix of wigs, hairpieces, and custom braiding techniques. Bo Katan was styled with a custom colored lace front wig which was fit with magnets sewn into the lace to hold on her tech headband. Koska Reeves was also a custom fronted wig styled with multiple braiding techniques, including an infinity braid, dutch and french braids, and waterfall braids. Cara Dune’s hair has a dutch braid from temple to nape, secured with leather cording and fabric. The remaining hair is styled with a 1/4-inch curved flat iron to give a random lived in texture. Fennec Shand has a 3/4 fully customized wig that is blended into her own hair with dutch cornrow braids at the front. Elastic lacing is woven in between the braids, and two large fishtail braids are rope braided together at the back. The Nevers Pilot Synopsis London, 1899. Three years after an otherworldly entity equips them with extraordinary abilities, Amalia True and Penance Adair work to protect fellow Touched from widespread, deepening antipathy. Meanwhile, Detective Frank Mundi investigates a string of murders at the hands of a reportedly Touched and highly dangerous serial killer named Maladie. Technical Description Hairstyles range from basic hairstyles in the orphanage showing the Touched as outcasts: From Amalia’s tight, neat version of how she thinks a Victorian hairstyle should look next to Penance’s mad scientist haphazard hair -- designed to give insight into their different characters - a Victorian Butch & Sundance. Primrose’s hair, pretty and childlike, compares to her overly large frame. Myrtles blunt-cut hair, cut like her busy mother cut it, compares to intricate hairstyles at the Opera with upper-class Victorian Society, led by Lavinia. Maladie’s hair, part wig/part actor’s hair, was dreadlocked everyday giving her a crazy-wild look of her own. All the actors’ hair was cut or coloured by the team. Hair pieces were used from wefts, switches, half or full wigs. This sped up the call/wrap times, as many could be pre-prepared. This helped in the crowd room among the SA’s. No CGI was used to enhance hair.

Oslo

Synopsis Oslo is based on a true story of negotiations between implacable enemies. The film follows the secret back- channel talks, unlikely friendships, and quiet heroics of a small but committed group of Israelis and Palestinians, plus one Norwegian couple, that led to the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords.

Technical Description The hair work for Oslo was character driven in order to represent the living people of this time. The story is set in 1993, so we needed to replicate hair colours and styles of this period. Many cast had their own hair stylised and cut into appropriate styles. When this wasn’t possible, we used wigs and toupees to achieve the desired looks. Hair colour was also one tool we used to achieve this. When it came to styling both wigs and actors' hair, we used a variety of hot tong, iron tongs, and rollers to set the styles. Hair texture was also an important aspect we needed to recreate for most actors. This was aided by using a selection of styling products and hot tools.

Perry Mason

Chapter Four

Synopsis Birdy urges Sister Alice to renounce her resurrection claims but she doubles down. Desperate to introduce Drake’s evidence, Perry and Strickland dump Gannon’s body on a golf course, prompting a new autopsy. With mounting financial troubles and a client facing the death penalty, E.B. takes out his despair on Della.

Technical Description In our 1931’s show, most principle as well as many background actresses were wigged. Wet sets with finger waves or pin curls were mostly used on wigs, irons and hot rollers when using ladies own hair. Some had their long hair styled into a chin/neck length styles look using hidden braids or tucked in curls. All men were kept freshly groomed, hair cuts at least once a week, tapered hairlines preferred and styled with Brylcreem, Murray’s pomade and other creams or gel with some shine. Raised By Wolves Virtual Faith Synopsis Convinced that Mother is poisoning his new friends, Campion plans an escape, while Marcus and Sue attempt to mobilize a rescue party of their own. Technical Description For this dystopian sci-fi series defined by a religious war, I formulated an androgynous cropped buzz cut for the lead android, Mother, bleaching then tinting her hair a warm copper. Father’s muted hair also underwent a bleach and colour process. Radicalists need radical haircuts, so I used edgy, raw, unstructured razor cut barbering, extra wefts and extensions, plus styling paste to create our unique mullets. For the ultra-religious Mithraic, I also reimagined a monk’s tonsure cut, shaving clean parts of their scalps. Cast members with blond hair were bleached platinum in order to echo the cult’s white on white colour palate. To complete the vision, numerous Atheists and Mithraics, including children required lace wigs and wig pieces. In the episode submitted we ventilated matching wigs for the android twins that were then finished with identical high braided ponytails. This episode also included action sequences and stunt doubling.

Ratched The Dance Synopsis Promoted to head nurse, Ratched plans a dance at the hospital and invites Gwendolyn to be her companion. Lenore makes Ratched an offer.

Technical Description 1943 silhouettes and color palette blending easily into the overall production and costume design was our ultimate goal. Application of lace front wigs, wet set and combed out to give authentic shape and finish. Full pin curl sets, rollers, and wet set finger waves added to the realism. Period men’s grooming with tailored haircuts and a finish true to their character. As the story devolves into chaos we strove to allow the hair of certain characters to fall apart in specific ways to maintain the period and evolve the storytelling. This started with the foundation of period correct hair cutting and setting. Background artists were styled and maintained to complete the 1943 immersive experience for the audience. The characters in the dance itself brought many different motivations to the scene which we reflected in the styling and finishing.

Robin Roberts Presents: Mahalia

Synopsis Born in New Orleans, Mahalia Jackson began singing at an early age and went on to become one of the most revered gospel figures, melding her music with the civil rights movement. Jackson sang at numerous rallies including the March on Washington in 1963 alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Technical Description Period pieces are challenging because many of the materials used to create the original looks are obsolete. To recreate those styles, I utilized pin curls, roller sets and finger waves as a base. Techniques such as back combing/teasing were used to create texture, volume, and foundation. Marcel curling and flat irons helped to smooth the cuticles and aid in styling to build and create structure. For specific iconic looks, styrofoam and additional hair pieces aided in the creation, protection, longevity, and styling of the unit. Female talent had their natural hair braided into protective styles that would be maintained during the run of show. Stocking caps were used to create boundaries and support between the natural hair and that of the unit. Male talent, those needing haircuts were serviced using Andis and Wahl clippers and sheers. Following the cut, styling began with styles such as finger waves or an afro. Salt-N-Pepa

Synopsis Salt-N-Pepa details the journey of Cheryl Salt James and Sandra Pepa Denton. Salt-N-Pepa made a huge impact as one of the first all-female rap groups. The movie follows the group as they become the first female rap act to go platinum and experience ground-breaking success. Technical Description A synergistic collaboration from two Brooklyn natives who grew up during this era played a key role in imparting their lived experience and connectivity to designing looks from a group they both inherently admired. The eighties were a decade that featured unique hairstyles and the creation of adopting the no rules age; Asymmetric cuts, detailed styling, waves and high-top fades was on scene. In cultivating and capturing the essence of each look the duo opted for wigs and hairpieces as the canvas to achieve the vision in resurrecting these characters. With Salt-N-Pepa as industry style trendsetters the team boldly pushed boundaries with colors and shades, complimenting the characters personalities while drizzling the necessary extra crimp and spritz to add that punch where needed.

Selena: The Series And The Winner Is... Synopsis Selena is nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year at the Tejano Music Awards. The band travels to Matamoros, Mexico, for an important performance. Technical Description To achieve the closest actor-to-character resemblance, I decided if they need a wig or a hair piece. I took measurements of the actor's head/face, created an identical mold and ventilated hair into it or adjusted a wig, by adding or removing hair, changing the front or sides and finally modifying texture, color and haircut. If I use the actor's hair, same procedure. I try to use some part of the actor's hair if possible and work the wig or piece from this. Wigs got restyled everyday, washed them if necessary, natural dry or diffuser, many sizes of curling iron, hair dryer, hot rollers, special products for show days or casual days. I wrapped the actor's head, I chose which parts of hair to hide depending on how they served me to complete the look. Place the wig, glue it if necessary. Final looks for the piece.

Shadow And Bone

A Searing Burst Of Light

Synopsis Unwilling to be separated from Mal, Alina hatches a plan to join him on a perilous expedition through the Fold. Kaz chases a lead on a lucrative job.

Technical Description The Shadow and Bone’s story is based in an 1800’s fantasy world. This gave us flexibility with an old world look but with some modern twists. A diverse cast allowed opportunities for hairstyles on all types and textures of hair. We had fun with exaggerated shapes on our more modern looking characters. Extra long hair with unique braiding, precision haircuts for the men and distinguished side parts. These were finished off with slick shiny products to give a glossy finish. In contrast, our more period looking hairstyles always had a looser look with flyaways, texture and a bit disheveled. Hair pieces and wigs were used to augment shapes and silhouettes to give the feel of the period, but we tried to use our talent's own hair as much as possible to keep a realistic and soft appearance. Their styles were finished with matte products and no shine.

Sherman's Showcase Black History Month Spectacular

Synopsis Sherman's Showcase returns us to the world of everyone's favorite fictional variety-dance show to celebrate Black History Month as only Sherman can (a few months late).

Technical Description We were able to review clips from Season 1 and immediately knew there would be extensive wig work to replicate the looks on the actors. We built hair pieces with AfroTech hair and added braided hair pieces to create looks for the characters. Small Axe Mangrove Synopsis Mangrove centers on Frank Crichlow, who owns a Caribbean restaurant in Notting Hill. The local police repeatedly raid his restaurant without cause, making Frank and the local community march in peaceful protest in 1970. Nine people are wrongly arrested and a highly publicized trial ensues for those fighting against discrimination. Technical Description As most cast were playing real people they had to match to those people as much as possible, making sure the hair textures/curl patterns of the character wigs all matched - for the hundreds of supporting artists as well. We opted for Afro hair freehand laying on beards/facial hair to create that natural growth look. We used hot tongs, iron tongs, and rollers for dressing the wigs and pressing the hair and a variety of Afro texture hair products to maintain and set the natural hair of the cast. I didn’t want it looking over polished to capture the truth of the period. The realness of hair being out of place and imperfection: reality. This was a platform to showcase natural Afro textured hair and styles of the 60’s and 70’s, and for us it had to be 100% celebrated, including having a diverse team of artists that represented the film.

Snowfall Say A Little Prayer Synopsis Franklin suffers the consequences of his choices. Jerome and Louie expand the business. Teddy is sent reeling. Irene delivers an ultimatum.

Technical Description Wanda goes thru stages of drug recovery at the hospital from being a crack addict, homeless and roaming the streets to being clean. Wanda has three wigs to depict her recovering at the hospital with a dream sequence showing her recovery: the first wig from the streets where it was styled with different size rollers and teased, the second wig look to show coming off her crack addition with the same technique as the first but with less teasing and flat ironed and the third wig look styled with an 80s vibe hot pressed and put together showing her completely off her addition.

The Spanish Princess

The Field Of Cloth Of Gold

Synopsis A grand meeting in France forms the backdrop for a political clash of wits between Catherine and Wolsey – while back in London, rioting erupts.

Technical Description Tudor women’s fashion favoured long hair. Charlotte Hope, who played Queen Catherine of Aragon, had a medium brown long bob. We had to dye her hair auburn-red. She was fitted with various half-wigs and other custom hair pieces in order to achieve additional length, and to create the ornate up-styles customary for this character: Her front sections were set to add movement, height and width elevating her from Princess to Queen and prepared each day in a way that allowed us to inter-change her styles between fully-down, half-up and fully up-styles for each costume change. For English men, the fashion at this time was bobbed hair that was tidy and refined. We opted for a more fashion forward look for our French men, taking influence from the Elizabethan era with set, primped hair for contrast with the English. Star Trek: Discovery Terra Firma, Part 2 Synopsis Georgiou uncovers the true depths of the plot against her, leading her to a revelation about how deeply her time on the U.S.S. Discovery truly changed her. Technical Description This is the second half of the Mirror Universe where all our main characters have drastically different hair styles. Wigs and extensions helped to achieve this. Burnham has a short cropped natural wig and a braided wig in this episode, Georgiou has a elongated bob wig and her long wig, Tilly has a straight high ponytail wig with a swooped bang, Nelson has long brown extensions vers her blonde wig and Detmer has her short bob wig. There are various levels of breakdown throughout. And ends off with Burnham braided wig and Georgiou long wig.

Sylvie's Love

Synopsis When a young woman meets an aspiring saxophonist in her father’s record shop in 1950s Harlem, their love ignites a sweeping romance that transcends changing times, geography, and professional success. Technical Description The woman’s hairstyles created in Sylvie's Love were achieved by using over 200 human and synthetic wig and hair hairpieces, using wet set and marcel irons as tools. The men’s looks were achieved through barbering and then styled with pomade and brushing and combing.

THEM: Covenant

Day 1

Synopsis Welcome to Compton.

Technical Description The hair styling techniques used for the horror noir series ranged across a very diverse cast. Set in 1953, accurate and researched period hair styles for all the characters were essential to the storytelling. From the neighborhood’s white housewives, to the men’s manicured hair of the time, to our black family’s transformation arriving from North Carolina to Compton. All lead actresses wore custom ventilated wigs and pieces, cut and styled for the period. All men were cut, styled and barbered. Large background days included a variety of looks on teenagers and adults each day. Period techniques were used to dress the wigs and actor’s own hair, setting their own hair with curlers and wet setting. Henry and Lucky appear in two different looks, one more casual and relaxed while in North Carolina, and a more cut, clean and professional look once in Compton.

This Is Us

Birth Mother

Synopsis Randall uncovers new truths about his past when he visits New Orleans.

Technical Description Multiple wigs were used to cover the nearly 60-year-span featured in this episode, including wigs for each of the three actresses portraying Laurel. Wigs were utilized in the pivotal water scenes for both the actor and their stunt double. Protective hair styles were used for Aunt Mae. For the Vietnamese actor portraying present-day Hai, we hand-laid micro extensions throughout his hair, and added graying lace pieces to his temples. The Umbrella Academy Right Back Where We Started Synopsis After dropping his siblings into an alley in Dallas — in different years — Five scrambles to track them all down and stop a doomsday threat. Technical Description Our daily responsibilities: wig prep, setting/styling, script breakdown, set coverage.

Uncle Frank

Synopsis In 1973, when Frank Bledsoe and his 18-year-old niece Beth take a road trip from Manhattan to Creekville, South Carolina for the family patriarch’s funeral, they’re unexpectedly joined by Frank’s lover Walid. Technical Description While prepping and doing research for Uncle Frank, the main objective became to create multiple periods of hair transitioning from 1944, 1969 and into 1973 and being true to not only the time periods but as important to the multiple locations the film was set in. While Uncle Frank, Wally and Beth were based in NYC in 1973 their hair is styled worlds apart from Grandma and Moms, who we styled as they would have had done at their local beauty shop in Creeksville South Carolina. I was able to reflect personally on my mother's hair and played a transgression from day 1 out of the Beauty Shop to day 6 needing to get re- set! The variety of time periods and locations gave the hair department such a great opportunity to research, refresh and re-create many hairstyles and truly watch the actors transform as they stepped back in time.

The Underground Railroad

Chapter 2: South Carolina

Synopsis Griffin, South Carolina – a seeming paradise of progress and racial harmony that hides dark secrets, especially the secrets of Bessie and Christian. Meanwhile, bounty hunter Arnold Ridgeway begins his pursuit of Cora.

Technical Description As The Underground Railroad’s unfold Cora’s (Thuso Mbedu) truths, passions, and deceptions of freedom, each character’s hair echoes the imagery, texture, and vibration of her harrowing journey. We reincarnated the untamed, curled, and kinked manes of slavery to the Victorian buns and ringlets of freedman society. Episode 102 features this hair metamorphosis. Episode 102 takes Cora, a runaway slave, from the Reynold’s Plantation to the majestic Griffin House in North Carolina. Cora’s first visions of freedom are intertwined visually with hair. The freed black men are groomed, while Cora and the freed women enjoy their first salon experiences. We delivered each look without utilizing chemicals, only using heated combs and marcel curlers. As Cora’s discovers the truth of the Griffin House, she flees back to the underground railroad. Accompanied by Cora’s fear and despair, her kinky curls reemerge. Vikings The Last Act Synopsis From the mists of myth and legend, the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok - Bjorn Ironside, Ivar the Boneless, Ubbe, and Hvitserk will see their fates decided in the conclusion of the Vikings Saga. Technical Description Our large and diverse team of hair stylists created multiple styles for each of the 20 principal characters and dozens of supporting artistes and hundreds of background artistes. For this episode that included 4 distinct cultures, we used an array of techniques, including shaving, tonging, waving, dreading, braiding, knotting, sewing with wigs, extensions, and bespoke pieces. Many of these were adorned with feathers, beads, shells, moss, leather and paint to complete the design. Through continual historical research and source material we created the specific shapes, intricate designs and elaborate looks that were practical, authentic and visually striking.

WandaVision Don't Touch That Dial Synopsis Concerned about fitting in, Wanda and Vision agree to perform a magic act at the Westview talent show, but things go awry when Vision swallows a piece of gum. Wanda realizes that something is amiss when she finds a red helicopter–the first hint of color in her B&W world. Technical Description The 1960s episode of WandaVision looks were inspired by 1960s sitcoms like Dick VanDyke show. We collected research photos and books. All wigs were human hair. Our main female characters wore custom lace wigs styled and set with the appropriate size rollers for the era using setting lotion and put under a dryer. Styling with light workable hairspray after rollers, teased heavy at the root for volume at the crown for a 60s shape, brushed out and styled. Then placed over a tight wig wrap and glued. Most female background wore some lace and some hard front wigs styled the same. Our male lead actor wore a custom lace-front wig, styled, cut/set with gels and brylcream for a 60s look. Another male character wore a shorter length tight afro wig, cut appropriate to the era. Wigs were glued and other male actors styled and combed to the 60s era.

Warrior

All Enemies, Foreign And Domestic Synopsis In search of a killer, the police shut down Chinatown. Buckley steps into a new role and considers a proposition from Leary, who faces questions from the Irish workingmen. Ah Toy fights for her life, while Chao faces a major dilemma.

Over 100 pieces of the Manchurian Queue were produced. Hand made wefts were made to add length over 50 Fung Hai fringe pieces were made in house including over 20 lace fringes for many of the Chinese women. Mai Ling's 3/4 back piece hand knotted and applied and styled.

Synopsis An authorized Wendy Williams biopic revealing the highs and lows the talk show host has experienced throughout the years. As the go-to source for celebrity dish, the spotlight recently turned towards Wendy. The movie follows her from her upstart days in radio to the success of her syndicated talk show. Technical Description I envisioned and researched the styles of the era and commenced to designing neat, polished styles based on the time period as well as Wendy’s personal looks. Styles ranging from braids, ponytails and flowing tressed pushed me to use techniques from roller sets to slick updos. Some of Wendy’s looks were achieved with a portion of her natural hair and incorporating hair pieces and ponytail extensions. While working with the highest quality of hair pieces and wigs, I made sure to maintain the integrity of each performer’s hair by braiding all into protective styles.

Lia and Rocky prepare for the huge Island Battle Royale, where more than the title is at stake. In 2032, candidate Johnson reveals his running mate.

Ventilation of hair pieces and fabrication of wefts, wig foundations and padding. Application of coloured sprays and inks for quick colour adjustments. For the full-contact wrestling (without stunt-doubles) we had to use hero wigs and created internal reinforcement to hold everything together, take after take. We used a lot of setting and finishing products that gave a sheen and frizz to recreate the humid and sweaty conditions scripted. As well as matte adhesives, we found silicone glues and toupee tape held up better to the humid summer weather shooting in Australia.

End of Category Outstanding Contemporary Hairstyling For A Variety, Nonfiction Or Reality Program

The Amber Ruffin Show Episode 123 Synopsis In this episode Amber and Tarik discuss the Derek Chauvin verdict, sing their lowest notes, take a long walk, and Amber shares a new music video. Technical Description Episode 123 throws you back into the late 90s with sculpted hair achieved by curling the hair all over, sectioning out the top to meticulously define those curls anchored by a French twist that was created by brushing and spraying the hair to the side, lightly teasing and twisting in an upward motion, securing with pins and finally framing the face with tendrils. An asymmetrical haircut with each layer from nape to crown outline by precision curling and sculpting. And the final blast from the past was a bleached blonde bang parted for framing.

You really start to understand the songs as we create memorable looks in order for them to express themselves.

Black Is King

Synopsis A celebratory memoir on the black experience, Black Is King, is the visual album from Beyoncé Knowles- Carter based on the music of The Lion King: The Gift, which reimagines the lessons from the 2019 blockbuster for today’s young kings and queens in search of their own crowns. Technical Description Hair played a vital role in the overall cultural representation in Black Is King. For decades, Black hair has carried a negative narrative. Showcasing the beauty and grandness of Black hairstyles was very important for Beyoncé. Black women’s hair is unique in its physical appearance and empowering symbolism based in African and Black culture. Black is King hairstyling highlighted historic and cultural references and respectfully elevated them in a contemporary way for the screen. Braids, hair sculptures and artful headdresses held spiritual and regal significance. Each look was inspired by different tribes in West, East and South Africa which has been passed down in Black culture in the US. We brought on skilled hair braiders to help create the massive, braided head pieces. Overall, hair was used as a vehicle to tell a story of beauty, royalty, and power and so the audience could be inspired by the cultural representation.

For Old Aunt, we took human hair and handmade a wig that we cut, colored and thermal styled for an older adult look. In Gang Retreat, all actresses were given natural hairstyles: braids, cornrows and afro puffs to elevate and contribute to each individual character. In Insomnia, when designing Casey’s hair, we started with a kinky, synthetic wig. Then food, money and dust were skillfully added to create the look of a woman who had been hiding under a bed for 13 years.

Dancing With The Stars Finale Synopsis Four celebrity and pro-dancer couples dance compete in the season finale where one couple will win the coveted Mirrorball Trophy.

Technical Description We were down to our last four couple finalists, competing for the mirror ball trophy. One of the first hairstyles was for a Tango inspired by Moulin Rouge. Under her hat, were finger waved pin curls in preparation for her next dance that required soft sexy waves. Another finalist wore a lace wig that was drenched in water as they danced, during Singing in the Rain. The wig was secured with toupee clips, then she transitioned into her normal hair by slicking it into a classic bun. Securing these hairstyles can be challenging. Athletic choreography requires an anchor under braiding technique that allows us to sew in the hairstyles. We use hair extensions, 3/4 falls, wigs, braids, ponies, a lot of hairspray and gels and of course, lots of bling ornaments that complement the wardrobe and ballroom themes.

Extensions, highlights, lowlights, and luminous curls were styled to look understated to perfectly mirror her character’s subtle mania. While, Lisa Kudrow was transformed into a conservative politician with a signature minimalist hairstyle. Her significantly textured hair was smoothed to create a clean and polished aesthetic with organic flyaways to closely resemble the real life individual she portrayed.

Technical Description For the sketch in which Kristen Wiig & Annie Mumolo were fired from The Crown, I styled a variety of wigs. I used a 1 1/4-inch curling iron to create a beach wave style. I wet set and roller set the other to create desired look. I also used a blow dryer for a blow out for a feathered effect.

I prepped the wig with Oribe texture spray for hold and used a 2” iron to set wig in a brick layer pattern and left overnight for maximum hold. I used large comb the next day to break up curls and give a bouncy, regal style. While Laura was on set, I left to prep the Statue of Liberty by wetting her hair, combing strong-hold gorilla gel through her hair to achieve a sleek, brushed back style and then dried with a dryer on high to set. I next applied white Krylon aqua paint all over the hair to cover the actress’ black hair to prep it for green paint.

Synopsis Country music star Carrie Underwood brings her first-ever Christmas album, My Gift, to life in this celebratory holiday special. Technical Description My Gift: A Christmas Special From Carrie Underwood, we wanted Carrie’s look to be elegant and timeless. With all of the beautiful statement gowns she wore, we wanted her hair to complement the fashion without competing with it. For Carrie’s hair color, we started with a more natural base. We used custom hair extensions created by Lorenzo Martin. We started off with blown-out hair set with Velcro rollers and created big barrel curls with a 1 1/2-inch curling iron. After curling, we added shine spray and brushed it smooth. We did not use a lot of products because we wanted to keep her hair looking fresh and beautiful. We did one updo, but didn’t want it to be smooth and perfect, so that it would still be young and contemporary. We added some beautiful Swarovski crystal combs and ornamental hair pieces by Ellen Hunter.

Nailed It! Travel Dos And Donuts Synopsis Putting their own spin on travel, these bakers make terrible spiced-doughnut tourists and deflated hot-air balloon cakes. It's destination disaster. Technical Description I took a lace front wig - customized, colored, and styled it. First, I colored the lace knots, tweezed any excess hair along the hairline. Next, I highlighted the wig adding attention to Nicole Byers' beautiful facial features. Because this wig did not come naturally curly and was straight, I blended 2 coloring techniques to appear more natural. The pintura technique is hand-painting and face framing the hair with lightener adding dimension to each curl pattern and bringing out her features. I used flexi rods to achieve this curly look. Taking small sections of hair, added a little mousse, wrapped and twisting around each roller, and secure by bending the ends. The wig went under the dryer for 4 hours. Once dried, I separated with my fingers and it was ready to wear. I applied the wig to Nicole using a wig cap and lace lock melting spray securing the wig.

Jane Lynch as Karen. Maya Rudolph as a Newswoman. Helen Mirren as herself. And Sarah Cooper as many characters. Due to the time constraints and Covid I basically worked non-stop constructing wigs and applying them. I styled synthetic wigs into 1940's style, human hair wigs in an over-the-top Newscaster style and a HSN QAnon saleswoman for Aubrey Plaza. Sarah wore her own hair as a Newscaster, but progressively became a disaster! She was also a lady magician in a blond pin curl wig, a dingy blonde housewife and many others.

Synopsis Go behind-the-scenes of Rihanna's Savage X Fenty lingerie brand as you sit front row to see artists and models featuring Travis Scott, Rosalia, Bad Bunny, Lizzo, Cara Delevingne, Miguel, Bella Hadid, Normani, Willow Smith and many more.

Technical Description The techniques used were defined by the four main scenes. For Dear Diary, I took a more edgy approach, more rock and roll. Custom razor cut wigs were made in both the mullet and pixie hairstyles creating different shapes for each cast. The Black Widow scene was the Stepford housewife pushed to the edge. Main technique used was the broken back comb beehive, inspired by the 1960s using flips, structured waves, and exaggerated baby hairs taking something perfect and disrupting it. The Garden hair was inspired by a whimsical Tinkerbell. Free flowing hair, braids, made structured and architectural with a lot of custom add on pieces to create drama and elevation.

Plus, corporations offer messages of support for these turbulent times.

The barbering utilized a plethora of techniques to create on trend present day styles. For the Montage scenes with Rallo & Bo, the department researched Black American hairstyles of the eras covered, with an emphasis on being authentic to the cultural and socio aesthetic of that time. In the late 60s scene, a full lace human hair wig was used to give our actor a Conk. In the 1600s scene we hand laid sideburns to give a scruffy, true to time look for the character. For Tuskegee, we utilized a natural texture hand tied human hair wig on Wilma and roller set to give an authentic feel for the styling and ventilated natural texture baby hairs at the hairline for a more realistic look.

Technical Description For the female characters we choose looks that not only complimented the women they are today, to keep the styles contemporary we kept the down hairstyles flowing with lots of curls and textured looks, with a mix of flat iron curls, and curling irons. The men’s styles differed the most as their cuts often offered completely different silhouettes. Blow outs with volume promoting foam stylers and round brushes helped achieved and maintain the male characters looks, as well as lock in the texture created with a twisting sponge on Dulè’s hair.

Synopsis Fifteen-year-old Heidi Schreck earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. Heidi resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives. Technical Description What the Constitution Means to Me challenged us with creating a look for Heidi Schreck that would both reflect her 15-year-old self, and carry through for her as an adult. Since the 90-minute show was filmed live, with no time off-stage for touch ups, hair needed to be locked in for the duration. Using Heidi’s own hair, we followed up a smoothing blow dry with a curling wand throughout and pinned half back. For Mike, we did micro-trims regularly to maintain a lived-in look, and we worked with the teens (Rosdely Ciprian and Thursday Williams) to choose hairstyles that reflected their individual personalities.

It’s important that everyone on the hair team is great at all types of hair while also understanding how hair holds, molds, moves and then be sure to make it last through dancing, jumping, whipping, flipping, and running. Nothing is off limits as we help create hairstyles that push boundaries for these dancers and choreographers.

Technical Description In an effort to capture the soul of Ziwe and represent that with each character displayed, the hair team created looks to speak to every comedic moment. Jane Krakowski’s crown was given a modern day beach wave while her scene counterpart gave polygamist cult realness. The neighbor maintained a boastful head of locks supported by a classic fade haircut. Women all over enjoyed the choppy, asymmetrical tresses of 2009 adorned by Cole Escola.

We adjusted and corrected tones for lighting on set. We used a combination of cream and liquid foundations and concealers, cream and powder blushes and contours, corrective brow and eye makeup techniques to create the characters. We also cancelled out facial hair to give a more youthful look to the student cast. Keeping in step with a more natural and understated make-up look for most of the characters unless otherwise scripted. Shooting out of order we maintained continuity throughout the season. We also had to cover and correct a pregnancy mask on one of our leading actors. In this episode we also made good use of spaghetti/sauce, Blue Bird alcohol-based makeup, Glynn McKay bruise gels and our usual make-up looks.

Away Goodnight Mars Synopsis Emma's behavior becomes a cause for concern, Kwesi and Lu team up on a plant mystery, and Rex makes an impulsive decision with far-reaching consequences.

Technical Description I’ve chosen episode 7 Goodnight Mars where Emma/Hilary Swank is suffering from severe dehydration. Because the whole crew is on a water ration we had to make sure that the audience would not see the problem being too different from the others. Her lips were made to look dry at first with a slight powder then with mattifier. I sprayed setting spray and let it dry to give a slept in, no shower look. When rehydration was given to Emma, her base was slightly restored and colors to her cheeks was added. Everyone on the space crew were made to look a bit more drawn out, but still normal enough looking.

Technical Description Bliss takes place in two contemporary worlds - the Bliss world of peace and beauty and the ugly world of poverty and unhappiness – two different looks for our leads. Greg declines from businessman to homelessness. For the homeless look we applied a subtle grimy skin effect with grunge palette. Isabel was more extreme. She went through 3 phases of decay in her homeless phase. When she meets Greg, her look becomes haunting as it melts through rain and tears with multi types of blue, navy and turquoise shadows mixed with oils to distress.

Synopsis The Boys take to the high seas to safeguard their prisoner. Homelander plays house, then pushes Ryan over the edge. Deep loses a dear friend in his pursuit of the supe terrorist. Starlight is forced to make an impossible choice. Stormfront reveals her true character.

Technical Description The Boys is a contemporary show with scripts touching on current events. This busy, fun show has all of the ingredients for a makeup artists dream! We start with the straight pretty makeups and end with the craziest concoction one could imagine. The most fun was the blood and bits (created by costumes, makeup and hair) that followed the demise of Lucy (the whale). The continuity was difficult over the many days and location changes. Buckets of the blood and bits that covered all the cast were carefully drizzled, after the skin was painted to hold the look. Notice that The Deep has really paled since losing his place. Breeders No Choice Synopsis Ally is under huge pressure, but no-one seems to want to listen to her. Jim and Jackie are excited about a possible move to the coast and, much to Paul’s surprise, so is he. Technical Description Moving on from series one of the show I decided that the main characters would look a more sophisticated and polished version of themselves, progressing with the time jump from frazzled parents of two small children into parents with a family rhythm in place and bit more time on their hands. To flash back to the pre series 1 era, the time before they had a family, we used primers and skin illuminators to give the appearance of fresher, more youthful skin... brightening eye drops and flesh coloured eye liner pencils in the water line to make eyes pop and the use of Fx pallets to make eyebrows and eyelashes appear fuller and more youthful, we also applied this to the hair to add colour back to create the effect of a younger character for our flashback scenes.

Chad Pilot Synopsis Eager to make his mark on his first day of high school, Chad spins a lie about his summer that quickly spirals out of control. Technical Description Turning Nasim into Chad required adding individual hair strokes to her brows to soften her natural shape, then hand laying hair over it to give the 3 dimensional fullness. Hair was added to the inner areas to bring the brows slightly closer together, and underneath to take the arch out and give the look of ungroomed strays. Skin prep was key to use as little skin makeup as possible and only do spot correction. Highlighting was used to take away her natural cheek contour and give a youthful fullness to her face. The piercing holes in her ears were also filled. Makeups on cast included popular kids, loners, nerdy best friends, along with Chad’s family, which were tailored for each group. Marjorie was given a rough smudged liner to help her stand out from the more innocent look of the other students. Chad’s Mom was kept stylish and professional.

Chemical Hearts

Synopsis When a hopelessly romantic high school senior falls for a mysterious new classmate, it sets them both on an unexpected journey that teaches them about love, loss, and most importantly themselves.

Technical Description For Lily’s character, Grace, I designed 3 looks. One, where at her lowest we applied the least amount of makeup and added darker circles around her eyes. For the next look we took the circles away and used a light base really working to make it look like her skin. Her last look I bumped it up and gave her some color in her face and lips. For the scars on her leg I referenced lots of knee replacement surgery and car accident scars and added self-inflicted bruises. For Austin’s character we also did work with under eye makeup between different scenes and referenced E.T. Halloween for his party look for a faint skeleton face. The Chi Foe 'Nem Synopsis A wedding alters Kevin and Kiesha's lives. Emmett juggles his business and his growing family. Ronnie struggles to find his way. Jake's estranged brother Trig lands back in town on a mission. Season premiere. Technical Description For the opening of Season 3, we created a contrast between a wedding and a funeral. Wedding, sheer gold, bronze, and coppers mixed into foundations to create vibrant skin that glowed from within. Intense blue, burgundy, and gold eyeshadow was employed, along with strong, dramatic eyelashes, eyebrows, and soap brows. These choices illustrated the love and joy of the occasion. Funeral, we exposed the real skin with either no makeup or a sheer, soft, minimal application of foundations. By eliminating makeup on cast, we allowed the natural skin to tell the story of pain, through scars, shadowing, and wrinkles. Makeup created the authentic Southside Chicago beat through these characters: Tiff: Weed dealer, stiletto and coffin nails, fake lashes and strong brows. Dom: Chef, specialty coffin nails, fake lashes, dewy skin, strong brows, glossy lips. Yolanda: Friend, deep rich skin contrasted with warm blue and green eyeshadows to convey happiness and strength.

Clouds

Synopsis Inspired by a true story, Clouds is an ode to the life of Zach Sobiech, a seventeen-year-old, fun-loving student with raw musical talent living with osteosarcoma.

Technical Description For Sabrina Carpenter, I didn't want to change the beautiful shape of her eyebrows. I chose to color them every day to match her wig and prepared an alcohol based brow shade to soften colour and so she could easily remove. Sabrina Carpenter also had freckles and both invisible make-up and beauty make-up. All cast was natural and we created a look of exhaustion accordingly. For Fin Argus, we created chemo in stages (half/full bald cap, port), post chemo in stages (nape hair used, scars). Techniques included: eyebrow thinning, lash bleaching, bald cap, post operation scars, bruising, application, shaving, face thinning shading.

Coyote

Silver Or Lead

Synopsis Pursued by trackers, Ben and Maria Elena embark on a dangerous journey through the desert in order to reach the U.S.

Technical Description Ben Clemens and Maria Elena's makeup: It is a progressive makeup, designed in three stages: dehydration, sunburns and different blows the characters receives during the trip. To make it more difficult, we started by shooting the last stage when the makeup is most damaged. Materials - Jack Black sunscreen, 3rd degree silicon, pros-aide, skin illustrator FX palette, skin illustrator dirt palette, Mehron Collodion, Fleet St. Fresh and dark Bloot, Miau brushes pregnant belly of foam lates. Seri woman. (Vitiligo makeup): This makeup had not only the complexity of realism, but it also had to be done in shooting time; the approved trial took 1:30 hrs, and I had to reduce the process to 40 minutes, I then designed a rigid stencil from the actress's face mold for use with the airbrush.

Technical Description Christmas On The Square is a contemporary musical themed production that harkens back to the days of retro movies. Angel - Dolly Parton, disguised homeless angel. Objective was to keep the actor looking identifiable by utilizing subtle makeup applications. Alcohol-based dirty palette, deeper flesh-tone foundations for face hands. Dirty the actor’s forehead, temples, chin and cheek areas. Natural lip color to mimic the actor’s natural lip.

The Equalizer

Hunting Grounds

Synopsis McCall races to find a woman kidnapped by a serial killer whose past crimes went undetected because the victims were from marginalized communities. Also, trouble arises for McCall when her vigilante activity puts her on Manhattan District Attorney Avery Grafton’s (Jennifer Ferrin) radar.

Technical Description Welcome to our world of CBS’s The Equalizer. This episode features techniques of contemporary beauty with Queen Latifah as a badass mom with a secret, so her look was simplistic. We contoured her face to show her natural beauty but look flawless. She also needed tattoo cover. Mel, the sidekick, often came in with swollen eyes and eyeliner was used to disguise her puffiness. Mel also had a few looks designed from her fashionista with a bold red lip, to her sharpshooter with a pale lip to not stand out. Dante, the handsome detective, needed beard grooming and for fullness we stippled in with alcohol pigments. Aunt Vi had a date night look of a smokey eye. Delilah, our teenage beauty, had troubled skin, layered foundation to cover and then gave her a healthy glow. We worked closely with the DP to make adjustments based on the needs of lighting. Euphoria F**k Anyone Who's Not A Sea Blob Synopsis Over the Christmas holiday, Jules reflects on the year with her therapist. Technical Description I used iridescent cloud-shaped face decals, sheer washes of color, and sparingly placed rhinestones and pearls to create whisper-versions of Jules’ looks that would be subtle enough to echo her deeply stripped down emotional state for this episode. The iridescent cloud-shaped face decals were a custom-made stick- on version of Jules’ cloud makeup. I used sheer washes of periwinkle, orange, yellow and red, along with very fine specks of glitter to create the effect that Jules’ various looks were merely residues of looks she would have worn to school that day. Additionally, we were responsible for extensive airbrushing to cover tattoos on the character of Tyler, who would be engaging in several consecutive hours simulated sex at a time.

The Expanse Tribes Synopsis Holden and the Roci go on the hunt. Amos and Clarissa seek shelter on a devastated Earth. Bobbie and Alex fight a desperate battle. Marco makes Drummer an offer she can't refuse. Avasarala returns to a position of power. Technical Description The Expanse S6 allowed for many makeup opportunities. We established new characters with their own distinct Belter tattoos (Sakai, Karal, the Dewalt crew, the Pella crew). Characters suffered injuries (explosions, gunfire, beatings, after effects of the meteor attack on Earth) which we had to keep track of the continuity. Dirt, lacerations, blood splatter were a daily task. Amos, Clarissa and Naomi, in particular, all went through various states of breakdown over the course of the season. From our main cast, the day players right to the background we used makeup to help create the world of the Expanse.

The Falcon And The Winter Soldier

The Whole World Is Watching

Synopsis Sam sympathizes with Karli’s cause and attempts to reason with her, but she is spooked by an impatient John Walker. Arguing that Super Soldiers and supremacy go hand in hand, Zemo tries to destroy Karli’s Super Serum. John Walker makes a mistake with devastating and very public consequences.

Technical Description Due to block-shooting, scripts changing per location, weather, covid, and reshoots production required extra attention to continuity. It felt like filming a fast paced 6-hour movie. As John Walker becomes troubled, and more unkempt his beard was maintained in various stages adapting to schedule. Post Mama Donya’s death, Karli’s makeup arch was used show the decline in her mental stability. The Flagsmashers makeup was kept rugged, realistic, and character driven, and the Dora’s were kept to match previous movies. Throughout the many various fights in this episode, wounds are maintained and acquired on both the actors and their stunt doubles, with facial hair maintenance, tattoo cover, foam bald cap for Ayo double, and matching varying skin-tones. Stunt doubles had to match actors more than usual due to closeups and action sequences. Various bloods, sweat, bruising creams, alcohol-color, sweat, and cleanup was always kept on hand. The Flight Attendant Funeralia Synopsis Returning from Rome to find that someone has broken into her apartment, Cassie doubles down on finding Miranda – even if it means crashing a champagne-soaked memorial service at Alex’s family home. Technical Description I executed Kaley/Cassie’s makeup to look as if she did it herself while intoxicated. The Foundation used sparingly concealing and revealing leaving some naked skin. Using brightening powders when wanting more polished, slightly crooked winged liquid eyeliner, individual lashes, gold cream shadow stick, and lip gloss. For Megan/Rosie’s character from Long Island, I used a full strip eyelash, lipliner with balm, Era airbrush foundation and a bit too much blush. Annie/Zosia’ s character is an attorney with an edge … we left her own tattoos exposed and used blue/black eyeliner. Michelle/Miranda I wanted to differentiate her character from other characters she has played by doing lighter makeup, a pale foundation, contour to accentuate her cheek bones, stained lips, messy mascara, individual lashes at the end, filled in brows. Michiel/Alex’s character is dead/active so his makeup stays very neutral and beard length stays the same.

Gangs Of London Episode 7 Synopsis With the Wallaces retreating to a safehouse, Marian puts pressure on Sean to uncover Finn's killer; meanwhile, Elliot's recuperation is interrupted by a new danger.

Technical Description We shot over several days keeping continuity adding blood, wounds, swellings, pulped flesh and brain matter etc, and noted all injuries for main cast and doubles. Grayed TOVES skin with pale base, then broke down with fx dirt/grime; added subliminal bruising, broken veins with alcohol based inks from PPI; blood from the nose, a split nose bridge with bondo transfer and blood, with multiple colours and textures, layering them creating fresh and dried effects dripped, flicked and spattered. Designed and commissioned a bespoke sclera eye lens. Added bruising and blood; appliance pieces with a tube rig for glass cuts to show her front teeth were snapped off; applied false nails in silicone over existing nail, colouring underneath with a dark purple acrylic paint. We spritzed everything so that the skin looked sweaty and teary.

Genera+ion

Pussy Power

Synopsis Chester angles to land himself in Sam's office, only to struggle with the guidance he's given. Megan grapples with the rapidly evolving world. Naomi and Arianna help their friend through her highly unconventional birth.

Technical Description Generation is depicting a group of high school students. It was imperative that these characters look real with all of their natural flaws. Each character has a very distinctive personality. Chester decides to express himself through messages on his nails. These messages had to be creative and indicative to his character; flamboyant and flashy. Black nails with white letters were used to ensure they could be read. His nails are his trademark so had to be specific. All of the character’s makeup was very selective. Great care was taken for products used. Arianna, for example, wore a raspberry lip stain throughout. Subtle but true to her sassiness. Nathan lets Chester paint his nails pink. It is Chester’s way of saying who Nathan is. His sister Naomi takes off Nathan’s nail polish and repaints them blue to represent she is with him in his journey. Less is truly more. Ginny & Georgia It's A Face Not A Mask Synopsis As Ginny struggles to fit in with her new friends, she faces fallout from a night with Marcus. Georgia helps problem-solve for both Paul and Ellen. Technical Description This episode shows how makeup can be used as a coat of armour, a mask. Georgia uses makeup to cover- up her complicated past. Ginny is learning those same lessons. We flashback to a young Georgia who finds comfort and protection in a female gang member who covers up Georgia’s bruised eye with concealer after being abused by her father. Ginny turns to self-harming to deal with the stress of her own traumatic past, the pressure of new friends, boys, fitting in. In consultation with doctors, we created burns, new and old, on her upper thigh with transfers, and makeup. It was very important to us to portray this part of the story correctly, with mindful intent. The episode ends with mirroring scenes of Ginny and Georgia removing their makeup, washing away their armour, showing how afraid/vulnerable they are. The makeup represents that disguise of perfection they present to the world.

The Girlfriend Experience Deep Fake Synopsis Iris, under the identity of Cassie, gets better at simulating the perfect girlfriend experience for her clients. Simultaneously at NGM, Iris and her co-workers start training the AI model with new simulated sets. More than one line gets crossed in the process and Iris' two worlds begin to collide.

Technical Description I wanted to push the boundaries where possible with the looks for Girlfriend Experience. I worked with the Costume Designer and Production Designer to achieve the Director’s vision. Iris’s many varied looks as Cassie were designed to reflect the different personas that her character wanted to portray to her various clients. For instance, for Georges her look was more high end and sophisticated but becoming more vulnerable. For Brett, the look was a little less refined, a little cheaper and trashier. A softer more period feel was the look for Paul, reflecting the tassel flapper style dress, with Rupert the look was altogether harder and slicker. In contrast Iris’s day look was a simple little or no make-up look. The looks for the remaining cast were generally character led. My inspiration for the showroom party scene was high society London meets Chelsea Arts Club meets the Popovy Sisters dolls.

Girls5eva

Pilot

Synopsis The members of Girls5eva reconnect after their only hit, Famous 5eva, is sampled by an up-and-coming rapper, Lil Stinker.

Technical Description Women in their 40’s doing 1990’s flashbacks as 20 year old pop music stars was a challenge. Normally they would wear heavy stage makeup, but makeup on older woman can be aging. So we reimagined 90s icons in a recognizable fresh way. The 8+ flashbacks challenged us to recreate period looks by blending our own makeup colors that no longer exist. We made exact duplications of coveted 90’s nude lip colors, mixing concealers and frost pigments, used eye liners to match the brown lip liners of the day and cut lashes into the right shapes to thicken their outer eye to make them coquettish and young. Body makeup with glimmer was applied, tattoos were concealed, cleavage and necklines were created with contour. For modern day performance scenes we amplified our characters looks with heavier makeup, in order for them to read as ordinary woman striving for their pop star pasts. The Good Doctor Venga Synopsis Shaun, Lea, Claire, Lim, Morgan, Park, and Andrews travel to Guatemala on a surgical mission with Salus International, to help local hospital Centro de Salud. This episode covers the first four days of the trip, wherein we narrow 40 potential patients down to 12 surgeries and 1 alternate. Technical Description The story line is Doctors Without Borders in Guatemala. The main cast a slightly different makeup look than they usually have. Created dewy skin using cream foundation, blush and bronzers, lip balms, lip pencils, anti shine, light coat of mascara, and blotting papers. Guest stars no makeup look / cream foundation, blush, shadows, anti shine, blotting papers, lip balm. Skin rash on sheep farmer, Mel gel mixed with pros-aide applied with a course sponge painted with illustrator and a patina of dirt.

Good Girls Chef Boyardee Synopsis The Secret Service makes a sudden decision. Tensions begin to rise between Beth and Stan. Annie tackles Ben's school financial aid problem. Dean is unsatisfied with his new role. Technical Description Always keeping in mind, that Good Girls is set in present day Midwest Detroit, the design for our three leading ladies Beth, Ruby and Annie this season includes; tones and pallets using hues of peach and rose, hints of shimmer and pinky cheeks along with soft contour and highlights that complement our beautiful nude natural lip color choices. In this episode Rio receives a blow to the face giving him a black eye that has healing stages of progression throughout the episode; Beth, Annie and Ruby team up with Stan as well the help of the dancers from the strip club where he works, sell designer purses for cash. We created the queen of hearts looks for this dance number on the dancers with vibrant reds shimmer pinks and smoky red cat eyes, as well giving an all over body shimmer to their legs and arms to complete the look.

Grand Army

Safety On

Synopsis Traumatized, Joey spirals. Sid opens up in his Harvard essay. A health crisis puts more pressure on Dom to financially support her family.

Technical Description A minimal approach was taken to make the diverse cast feel real and raw to echo the show’s tone. We stayed away from doing full glamour makeups; instead, it was about a pop of lip colour or funky eyeliner as real teenage girls do. Joey’s arc was the main focus for makeup in Episode 104. Initially after her assault she overcompensates with too much makeup; we went heavy with a smokey eye. As she spirals out, we broke her down using Glazing Gels to hollow out her eyes as well as redden them and make her skin blotchy. Illustrator/Glazing Gels were used to bruise her inner thighs as well as to add rawness to the bald spot on her scalp from pulling her hair out. Our goal was to portray teenagers authentically through makeup and by doing so allow the truth of the story to be told. grown-ish Age Ain't Nothing But A Number Synopsis Spinoff from black-ish follows the Johnsons' eldest daughter Zoey as she heads off to college and quickly discovers that not everything goes her way once she leaves the nest. It's a contemporary take on the issues facing students and administrators in the world of higher education. Technical Description For this episode, Yara’s character Zoey is celebrating her 21st birthday, a 90’s theme as Aaliyah, Jules as Vincent, Mia from Pulp fiction, Lil Kim, Janet Jackson and the late Tu Pac. With Yara, I applied a hydrating cleanser, then added a nourishing moisturizer, primer to help enhance Yara's skin and make up application. Using a smooth foundation, concealers to correct and finish. Application of eyeshadows that reflect her iconic character Aliyah, along with a perfect eyeliner gel line above her eyelash. Finished with a beautiful gloss of natural browns for her lips and a kiss of bronze for her cheeks. All the characters makeup applications were inspired by the 1990’s with color and technical application to make the most of each actors. Detailed Glam look on a range of diverse skin tones, hand laid facial hair and applied custom tattoos to recreate these striking looks.

Hacks New Eyes Synopsis While her retreat with Deborah isn’t what she envisioned, it provides Ava a chance to correct a mistake. Finding himself with rare time off, Marcus reaches out to a surprising source for company. Later, Deborah reveals the truth about a major myth in her career.

Technical Description Jean Smart plays Debra Vance, an iconic comedian with a long‐running Vegas show; her wealth and success have not altered her somewhat dated look. In the episode, Debra decided she needed a cosmetic refresh on her upper eyelids. My strategy considered the actor's eye and skin sensitivities as well as recreating several surgical looks quickly without adhesives, lifts, or prosthetic enhancements. The results were created with cream makeups, glazing gels, mineral pigments, pencils, and Aquaphor, then completed with surgical sutures, surgical tapes, and butterfly closures. For Debra's Wax Figure look, opaque waxed‐ based creams were layered to offset blue and gold museum lighting. Strategic shadowing and highlights sculptured facial details, highly arched brows with double‐stacked strip lashes framed a metallic eye and was completed with a bright semi‐matte colored lip.

The Handmaid's Tale

Pigs

Synopsis On the run, June and the fugitive Handmaids seek refuge. In Gilead, Aunt Lydia reels from the loss of 86 children on Angels’ Flight. The combative Waterfords, in custody in Toronto, learn of June’s feat.

Technical Description Handmaids' distressed makeup draws from washes of tinted moisturizers, glazing gels and varying levels of sheen on multitude of skin tones. Dark under eye shadows and hand painted techniques of earth tone pigments for a weathered look. Red pencil in eye areas. Using alcohol-based palettes, lips paled out with fine brush strokes of subtle ash tones to create a chapped textured effect. June’s makeup sallow, sweaty fighting a bullet wound infection. Washes of death flesh coloring and layers of Egyptian magic with water spritz to achieve this feverish look. Well-groomed facial hair for Commanders. Incarcerated Waterford dark shadows on depressed facial areas. Select beard hairs painted white for aged effect. Beaten up makeups created with varying blood tones using alcohol-based palettes. Bloody face/hands created with layers of dry and wet blood in fresh and dark for depth and texture with applications of speckling and splattering brush techniques. Home Economics Mermaid Taffeta Wedding Dress, $1,999 Synopsis When a family friend gets married, all of the Hayworths find a way to make the wedding about themselves. Technical Description For the main and large guest cast of characters, we had a special episode with almost all cast specially made up for a wedding event. Using a combination of sponge and brush work, correcting mask skin reactions, blending, contouring and mixing to enhance/correct skin tones creating a natural and dressed up look. We created fake tears and used eyeshadows and paint to create Jimmy’s face paint look. We adjusted and corrected tones for lighting on set. We used a combination of cream and liquid foundations and concealers, cream and powder blushes and contours, corrective brow, and eye makeup techniques to create the characters. Beard correction with both blocking out as well as filling in. Keeping in step with a more natural and understated make-up look for some of the characters as well while others had an array of different contemporary makeup looks.

In Treatment Laila: Week 2 Synopsis Brooke shares her own teenage indiscretions, leading Laila to make an alarming declaration about her girlfriend Cara and their plans for the future. Technical Description In this episode, I was able to apply a slight pop to Quintessa’s normal natural beauty makeup. Her character playing an 18-year-old, less make up on her face was best. I would start with moisturizer and Laura Mercier primer, followed by Laura Mercier Foundation, color Latte, very little shading needed. Viseart eyeshadow palette matte finish number one for eyes. Using soft peach shadow and Mac Tan pigment on eyelids. Black eyeliner close to the lash line. Black mascara - makeup forever Anastasia eyebrow palette, medium brown for brows. Blush- iT cosmetics, Ombré Radiance - naturally pretty lips -Tom Ford #8, Glossluxe wonderful experience working with Quintessa.

Industry

Nutcracker

Synopsis When Harper confides in Daria about Eric’s past indiscretions, she unwittingly sets off a chain of events that will be felt by the entire CPS team…

Technical Description The brief was to create characters that were real and believable. Therefore, I sought to tell a story through the characters’ skin. There was drug abuse, excitement, highs, and lows, therefore this needed to be reflected in their complexion. Examples of this can be seen when they are in the gym or having sex. We would use products that would create glow and warmth within the skin, that appears to radiate heat. In contrast, if a character was abusing drugs or hungover, applying shade to hollow-out the skin would help to display a dehydrated, tired character. Adding sweat and redness around the eyes and nostrils would also reflect this. I would like to submit episode 6 as the Christmas party displays all of the cast behaving disgracefully. The makeup needed to reflect the breakdown of inhibitions of the characters from the start through to the dysfunctional end. The Kominsky Method Chapter 20. The Round Toes, Of The High Shoes Synopsis A famous actor comes to Sandy's class and creates a stir. Sandy and Roz find themselves getting along. An unexpected offer materializes for Sandy.

First time we see her in hospital she is pale, very little makeup. Michael’s character for one scene had Vali laying hair, adding eyebrows, and sunburn stipple. Alligator for sweat, made lips dry and cracked using latex, dried blood scabs and little cuts. Aged Paul, with vinyl Mike Davey bald cap, custom painted, blue bird ager for crow’s feet, mouth, nasal folds and neck and hands for age spots; Mauve blush and flesh tone PAX paint blended the cap and edge. Carol Mitchell applied lace wig. Final coloration was completed with various tattoo alcohol resin-based paints.

Lucifer Our Mojo Synopsis As a shocking side effect of his romance with Chloe throws Lucifer for a loop, the new couple pursues a murderer with a most unusual M.O. Technical Description Ella has a delicate liner from center eye out. Lightly colored eyebrows and brushed, using Givenchy natural rose blush for glow and individual lashes by Marishten. Chloe has a soft liner, never powdered always giving her a lovely sheen. Her blush is soft on her apples dusted with a kabuki brush and beauty blender. Michael's scar was applied with a handmade stencil using a freckle for start mark.

Coco’s facial bruises applied with alcohol palette and bondo scar on eye. Needle puncture on his arm is tattoo transfers, gafquat and gel blood. Crack heads have needle puncture wounds, tattoo transfers and dirt. Bruises aged by adding more purples and yellows using a mixture of alcohol-based makeup and glazing gels. We covered existing tattoos by airbrushing PAX and added our own tattoo transfers on top. Facial hair upkeep was essential, mask wear resulted in constant beard touch ups. Most cast was doubled and matched through facial hair applications, tattoo cover and tattoo transfers applied on top.

The Mosquito Coast Elvis, Jesus, Coca Cola Synopsis Arriving in Mexico City, the Fox parents attempt to connect with Allie’s mysterious contact while the kids get into trouble. Technical Description Episode 105 was a shared endeavor: We spent much of the initial work of their episodes in the desert and so much of the make-up design reflected that; My contributions saw the characters move away from those locales and so she was able to find some new freedoms in the look of the cast, while at the same time, not veering too much from the no make-up make-up looks of the earlier episodes. The cast was cleaner, fresher and with a sheen and dewiness that maintained throughout, reflecting the warm climate.

9-1-1

Jinx

Synopsis The 118 has a day from hell with a never-ending series of bizarre emergency calls.

Technical Description We cover our casts multiple tattoos daily with alcohol airbrush paints. Beauty makeups for all the women were created with a variety of products and kept very natural. Multiple silly accidents happening in this episode. Man taped up on billboard- we applied 70 tattoos between him and his stunt double. Some were hand drawn. We had 2 clowns in a variety shop.

Contemporary makeup was executed on Selena and Nicole; sharp brows, precise nude lips, balanced, corrective dark skin applications. A full blood body makeup was applied for Gabrielle; Lilith’s demon look, with bondo transfers over the eye, pale skin and enhanced veining. The small budget and tight time constraints of this show combined with its modern supernatural aesthetic necessitated efficient, clean applications from the entire makeup team every day.

P-Valley

Belly

Synopsis Two foes find themselves trapped together for a weekend under unlikely circumstances. Keyshawn reaches new heights, and Lil’ Murda glows up big time.

Technical Description Customized electrifying eyeshadows, hydrating foundations mixed with skin serum created the look of the episode. Rich hues were blended along with popping lip colors, and highlights and contours. Hand crafted, painted tattoos were developed for each character. For the fight and jail scene, clear lip gloss immersed into eyeliner created worn black eyes. Warm tone palettes mixed with alcohols, glazing gels and blood smeared replicated cuts and bruises. Ultra-wet with coconut oil emulsified and rubbed over the body demonstrated stickiness and distress. Glycerin mixed with baby oil gel drizzled on face created beads of sweat and tears.

The look was natural and fun as per each character. Each had their own style from the high-fashion creative Summer who wore different colors to match her wardrobe to Heather whose looks depicted her moods and confidence as it grows with each episode. It was fun to get to know each character and their looks. Our daily challenges were extreme heat to freezing cold all the while onscreen it was a typical hot Texas summer. If we weren’t blotting sweat, we were adding it albeit with warm water in freezing temps or using DC200 because it was just too cold for any water!

Pen15 Opening Night Synopsis It’s opening night. Hearts are exposed, forcing both Anna and Maya to grow up. Technical Description The entire season we transformed two 30-year-old women into outcast middle school students taking place in the Y2K era. But this particular episode was special. It’s the last episode of the season where the entire cast attends the big school play. All make-ups were out of kit applications. Strategic placement of contour, blush, eyeshadow, usage of texture and color palettes were all used while keeping in mind the vulnerability and the raw emotions of the characters. Individual eyebrow hairs and mustache hairs were placed on Maya and Anna. The use of highlight and shadow was used to create 2d old age on Gabe and Maya, while making it look as if a 13-year-old applied it. Corrective beauty was used on all adults in the audience, showing where they were at that time personally in their lives, including Kathy, Yuki, Fred, and Curtis,

Only when things begin to truly unravel around her, does she reluctantly decide to see a therapist and face her truths.

Technical Description Pink Skies Ahead is set in 1998, my research began with collecting photos from friends and family members. The look of the time consisted of earth tones and deep brick reds, bronzer more than blush, the use of brown or taupe eyeliners as lip liners, and thinner brows. We achieved a late 90’s look on Jessica Barden by using products popular in that time (Clinique Black Honey, a universally flattering lip color), lipsticks and liners in deep tones like MAC Spice, and Toasted Almond. I gave her a bronze and black smokey eye, suitable for her characters late nights and low maintenance makeup routine. For the rave scene we had fun with glitter, candy-colored eyeliners, and pops of neon. Complexions were clean and sheer, with little to no foundation. Inspired by punk rock, riot girls, and many female icons of the time. The Politician What's In The Box? Synopsis A shocking ballot-box twist positions Payton at a moral and ethical crossroads that could define the rest of his political career — and life. Technical Description The Politician is a very stylized, fashion forward, character look driven show. Different makeup styles were utilized to match the whimsical personalities and costumes. Each character had a unique makeup look that played into their character’s style. Most characters did not have the same look twice. Hand laid hair/facial pieces were applied. Tattoos were applied. Mime makeup was executed on the character Infinity. Ben Platt - bronzed slightly for a glowy, polished, young politician look. Lucy Boyton - trendy, with graphic eyeliners, ethereal eyeshadows, fashionable lip colors. Rhane Jones - bold and edgy colored lips or eyes. Judith Light - Polished politician look, seductively glammed when with the Politician Tito. Julia Schlaepfer - young politician’s finance with porcelain, highlighted skin and rosy cheek look.

Pray Tell (in drag) and Blanca’s Diana Ross ballroom performance- 3 levels: Swarovski crystals of different colors/sizes covered Pray’s lips and eyes, and Blanca’s cupids bow. Heavy waterproofing of already established looks were used during performance under pouring rain. Worn down performance makeup was removed on camera. Flash forward 1998 Sex and the City looks for main cast. Flash forward 1998 Ball: painted bizarre look, runway, and added large tattoo and coverage.

Technical Description Design contemporary makeup looks for our leading ladies.

Synopsis After Santa Barbara Police Chief Carlton Lassiter is ambushed and left for dead, Shawn and Gus return to help him and find themselves embroiled in a case involving the personal, the professional -- and even the supernatural. Technical Description We showcased a wide variety of ethnicities and ages. For the character makeups, we applied ventilated lace pieces for realistic facial hair and a costume moustache adhered as a prank disguise. There were matching keloid scars on a couple of characters sculpted daily, directly onto the actor’s face using Fast FX - a two-part silicone compound. The show is set in Santa Barbara but shot in Vancouver. We had to enhance the complexions of the cast to give a believable sunny disposition that was not naturally present given the season we were shooting in. We used various methods including self-tanners and strategically placed bronzers. The men were groomed daily, facial hair was maintained for continuity. The female cast all had different character looks that were designed based on their vocation.

Queen Sugar May 19, 2020 Synopsis Charley throws Darla a virtual surprise bridal shower/bachelorette party, where Nova welcomes Darla into the family as her sister. The wedding begins against the breathtaking backdrop of the Bordelon farm. Technical Description On Episode 5 we finally see the long-awaited wedding of Ralph Angel and Darla. Strategic makeup techniques were used with the wedding being held on the plantation and draped in sunflowers and white roses. This led to us using colors that embraced the elements and the love. The main wedding color was yellow, so in order to make the bride stand out in the midst of the brightness surrounding her, we used monochromatic shades on the entire cast. Beautiful shades and tones in browns and golds were added lightly to pick up the warmth of the families' variations of beautiful brown skin. The bride was adorned in different levels of bronzed dewy shadows, blushes and lipsticks to stand out just as any bride should on her big day. Creams, airbrushing, dual microfiber brushes and lots of setting sprays were used to create the natural yet weather-protected looks of episode 5.

The Resident

A Wedding, A Funeral

Synopsis Chaistain Hospital deals with the Covid pandemic frontline in a flashback as Nic and Conrad plan their wedding.

Technical Description Create realistic hospital makeup for Covid pandemic for a flashback to begin. Jump to 2 years in the future where a contemporary wedding is being held while filming under the new Covid industry protocols.

Room 104

Bangs

Synopsis At her divorce party, Eva overhauls her potentially life-changing decision to get bangs.

Technical Description In episode Bangs, of contemporary series Room 104, makeup was transformative. Using sharp lines, bright colors and textures helped to create a standout avant-garde look. This look later transformed into a sultry gun metal smokey eye. Leaving small accidental hints of each look to string them all together. Scattering false eyelashes under the eye, messing up the lash line and makeup smudged on the face to portray a life in disarray. Lashes ranged from double stacked strips, individuals to shape the eye, and even lower lashes to add a 60s nod. Changes in coverage of foundation played into each look, patchy for moments of crying, dewy for freshly showered, contoured/highlighted for her big night out. Rutherford Falls Pilot Synopsis Town namesake Nathan Rutherford, with help from his best friend Reagan, fights the moving of a historical statue depicting his ancestor. Technical Description Rutherford Falls centers on residents of the Upstate New York small town community and their relationship with members of a fictional Native American Reservation. Many looks were established in the pilot episode including a wide range of characters from small town people to a cosmopolitan gender nonconforming high school student. Our team was responsible for corrective makeups, applying fake nails, facial hair maintenance, covering tattoos, applying a futuristic green alien makeup (non-prosthetic), and maintaining continuity of makeups while applying and removing face masks in the hot summer elements.

Saved By The Bell House Party Synopsis Lexi and Mac attempt to break up Jamie and Aisha's new relationship; Daisy tries to go wild. Technical Description At Saved by the Bell we have a large diverse cast. We are all about creating individual believable characters. In this episode we used liquid foundations, concealers and current eye makeup styles applied with precision. In this episode our cast goes to a large fantasy party. Makeup, hair and costumes worked together to create 52 creative looks. We used stones, flowers, copper leaf, pigments, feathers, glass beads and more. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun.

Search Party

A Dangerous Union

Synopsis As the gang tries their best to put aside their differences at Elliott and Marc's epic wedding, Dory can't help but feel wary that a threatening presence looms nearby.

Technical Description The design of Season 3 episode 8 comes from the wedding theme: Attention. All makeup is heightened. Heavy eyeshadows, contour, overdone brows, shimmer and glitter. Excess is our goal. I wanted the looks to be a mix of high fashion and Instagram makeup trendiness. First time we see Dory in a darker vampy makeup - smoky eye mix of brown and charcoal grey shimmer with an orangey red lip. Wedding planners Patrick and Ashley exude attention - dewey skin, shimmery overdrawn eyebrows, shimmery highlight, contoured cheeks, nose, temples. Twink Caterers - smooth skin, shimmery pink/gold eyelids, matching lip gloss. Miami - highly dramatic Instagram-worthy eye makeup and eyebrows. Wedding officiant has a glorious glitter beard. BG - mix of trendy/fashion looks, color, and glitter. Chip - obsessed fan disguised as Twink, hit by a car. Injuries added with Skin Illustrator and Designs to Deceive Blood. Aquarium gravel added to simulate parking lot gravel.

Servant

2:00

Synopsis With a new guest in the house, Dorothy resorts to bold tactics to get what she wants.

Technical Description Breaking down the script and understanding the backstory to Dorothy involved creating both distressed and refined looks. Since our actress has various skin sensitivities to certain products, I selected ingredients that prevented a reaction. The design of the makeup looks, and wardrobe centered around the emotional state of the character. Silicon free products with translucent brow materials, fake blood, dirt, and mud (composed of ground coffee, instant coffee, oats, rice cereal, xanthan gum - all blended in a food processor for the dry portion of the dirt, water added to the combination to make mud). Makeup looks were designed to reflect a character’s power with bright dramatic colors and precise application. More vulnerable moments in scenes contributed to the creation of sheer transparency with a lighter application of beauty products. 7500

Synopsis When terrorists try to seize control of a Berlin-Paris flight, a soft-spoken young American co-pilot struggles to save the lives of the passengers and crew while forging a surprising connection with one of the hijackers. Technical Description The director wanted a natural look -- he was afraid of too much make up. My passion was to achieve a blood loss with little make up. I used a HD liquid make up- the tone was a little bit darker than Joseph Gordon-Levitt ‘s original skin tan. And then I went brighter and brighter the more he lost blood. All with HD make up- in front of the Camera he looked totally natural. The look of the stewardess was: more make up- as they are in real. I tried to keep everything very natural- less make up and less hair styling.

Solos Nera Synopsis After using a near-future fertility treatment, Nera is at first elated by the birth of her child. But she quickly discovers there is something unusual about her son. Technical Description For Nichole Behari products were used and applied in a way to create a realistic looking no makeup look. Foundation was applied to match skin tone, soft shimmering blush was used to bring the glow of pregnancy to the look. Matte peach tone shadow applied as a wash and mascara lightly applied to give natural definition to the eye. Lip color diluted with lip balm to give a no lipstick but defined mouth. As story progresses redness was added around and under eyes to show exhaustion. Sheer red tint added around nostrils and stippled on cheeks to show flushing of labor and giving birth. Evian spray used to create sweat. Skin illustrator, wet gel, slime and blood used on thighs and legs to simulate what would be there after giving birth. Bite mark transfer applied to hand, chicken pox transfers applied for child character.

Special

Prom Queens

Synopsis Tensions simmer as Kim's family celebrates Diwali, while things get super awkward at the Crips Prom between Ryan's new friends and his date.

Technical Description The makeup in this episode was centered around two large events, Diwali and Prom. For Diwali, all of our female cast were in full glam beauty makeup with lashes and Bindi that reflected the colors of their traditional Sari. We employed classic beauty techniques using color theory and corrective beauty makeup, as well as basic men’s grooming. For Prom, we utilized all the same techniques and bumped up everyone’s looks using lashes, shimmery shadows, and bolder brighter colors.

The Stand

The Stand

Synopsis In the episode of this adaptation of the post-Apocalyptic classic, Mother Abagail's followers have their spectacular confrontation with The Dark Man in his stronghold of New Vegas.

Technical Description Make-up techniques in The Stand, our vision of the dark, raw emotion of each character was built on layers of information slowly rolled out, and the makeup played a key role in the evolving timeline. Each character had their own way of dealing with the devastation. Using many different techniques from precision style of glam to raw foundations with grease, blood, wet looks, out of kit tools, deep contours, layered grounded in dirt, cream colors, and colored mucus, depicted their love, fears, hopelessness as well in some cases their pure evil. Tear-stained faces were created with multiple reds and grays. Teenage Bounty Hunters Daddy's Truck Synopsis In need of money after damaging their dad's truck, Sterling and Blair team up with veteran bounty hunter Bowser to help capture a frenemy's father. Technical Description Executed Sterling’s demure style – light foundation, pink/coral cheeks, lips, and eyes, curled lashes with brown mascara, baby pink nails. Executed Blair’s daytime top black liner/mascara, lower lid soft smudge, soft contoured cheek, beige or peach lip, by night – lightly Goth and usually dark nails. Bowser - a long/unkempt beard. Debbie - wears full color, polished makeup, lots of coral lips and nails. Yolanda – wears colorful, over the top eyes, lips, cheeks, flashy lashes and press-on-nails.

Tell Me Your Secrets The Dead Come Back Synopsis Emma fights to survive. Mary attempts a rescue, and both women fight John to the death. Mary learns the painful truth about Theresa and reneges on her promise to Emma. Emma vows to find her daughter. Jess’s killer is revealed, Brutal justice is delivered to the Lord family. Technical Description 110 is a dark episode. We tried to keep everything as real as possible. The characters have been on a journey, and they have slowly all fallen apart. Cuts, wounds, dark circles, scratches, bite marks, scrapes, bruises, and a lot of sweat. We used illustrator and gel blood for a lot of the cuts and scrapes. We also used some pros-aide transfers. For dark circles or redness on the nose and chin we used skin illustrator glazing gels. They are beautiful and look like they are coming from under the skin which looks more natural. Rose starts off at the festival with glowing skin and beautiful makeup. As the night unravels she discards her gown, her glow, and her mascara is running. She’s raw and unhinged in the house of mirrors where she learns her truth. Ultimately, we wanted you to feel their pain and struggle.

The Third Day

Sunday — The Ghost

Synopsis Sam is shocked to learn the truth about his connection to Osea and the islanders’ intentions for his future. Later, in a fight for his life, Sam tries desperately to escape their clutches and make it back to the mainland in one piece.

Technical Description The makeup was designed to accentuate the eeriness of the film. When they take acid, I tried augmenting the actors faces: The Martins’ faces were made out of silicone pieces that were stuck back on their faces, cutting out the eyes and mouth so they appeared to be normal but when they spoke/blinked the faces remained motionless apart from the mouth and eyes. The scene was shot with and without the masks and cut between the two. Other makeup techniques for the main characters were less subtle – Sam goes on a harrowing journey and suddenly endures many injuries in a short period of time. Having all these layers of make-up was very challenging to maintain whilst filming both in and on the sea. Episode #103 is a continuous 24hr story, meaning no breaks in the continuity. We kept up with Sam’s 6 levels of injuries which was challenging since it was filmed over many weeks, and not shot in chronological order. 13 Reasons Why Acceptance/Rejection Synopsis In the wake of the lockdown, the school is on edge -- and a troubling abuse of power pushes the student to take action. Technical Description Dylan’s mental health is at a breaking point by this episode, so we used Skin Illustrator Glazing Gels to break up his complexion, focusing under his eyes. We did not use any foundation so you could see his skin and any natural redness to enhance the look of anxiety and frustration. Justin was not yet diagnosed, but was to be showing early signs of HIV/AIDS. We paled him out with a slightly lighter shade of foundation and created darkness under his eyes with Glazing Gels. Two small lesions were created by mixing together brown raw sugar, pros-aide and Fleet Street blood. They were strategically and discreetly placed on his temple and his neck. Jessica took a leadership position during the riot and so her makeup was clean and confident. I gave her a sharp, cat-eye liner, strong red/berry lip and gave her a perfect complexion using Nars sheer glow foundation.

Tiny Pretty Things Push Comes To Shove Synopsis Everything reaches a turning point on the last night of Ripper, as the dancers pull off a jaw-dropping finale and shocking secrets are revealed.

Technical Description When the star pupil Cassie gets pushed off a roof, we designed drama facial wounds using pros-aide transfers. The devastating injuries dancers sustain I designed toenails being ripped off of Bett’s toe and lumps and distortion of Madame Dubois feet while she injects them. I designed the crazy gluing of Neveah’s foot. Grand Gala events allowed us to use trends in fashion with glitz and signature designer runway looks. Much of the makeup was perfecting the skin to allow it to glow. Although we were true to the sweat and imperfections to allow them to tell a story.

The Undoing

The Undoing

Synopsis Grace meets Elena, a young mom, who’s helping with the fundraiser at her son’s school. At the Fundraiser, Grace comforts an inconsolable Elena. The next day, Grace awaits Jonathan’s return from a medical conference. Mysteriously unable to get hold of him, she’s blindsided when she learns of Elena’s brutal murder.

Technical Description At the lunch, it was a very polished Upper East Side look -- flawless skin and using makeup to accentuate features. For flawless skin, we used a greasy sunscreen under matte foundation to create a glow. Falsecara eyelashes placed on top eye waterline gave natural full eyelashes. Luminous cream blushers and contours accentuated cheeks. To make the eyes pop, dark grey eyeshadow as eyeliner and peach check blusher on eyelids. For the evening party look. A few main actors wore bright Bold matte lipstick to stand out. Setting spray used to finish makeup and keep it bold and not fade. The background all had full makeup looks for a glamorous look. Air brushes used to cover all tattoos. The director wanted Nicole's style to be bohemian and unique. Grace’s make up was less dramatic and more natural. A little tinted moisturizer, blush, mascara, and lip stain. Unpregnant

Synopsis When her picture-perfect world verges on collapse after discovering she’s pregnant, Ivy-League bound Veronica enlists her chaotic ex-BFF Bailey to drive her 1000 miles to carry out a decision she never imagined she’d have to make. Technical Description Lead Veronica’s makeup started meticulous and naturally glowing, showcasing her youth and perfection in outer appearance. Neutrals with slight shimmer applied to eyes making her blend into the crowd. Brows and lashes were groomed to ensure placement. Bailey embraced an edgy/effortless look showcasing freckles, ungroomed eyebrows, worn-in eye shadow smudged onto both lash lines. Bailey’s lip was a combo of 3 deeper plum/brown lipsticks pressed on with fingertips and blotted for worn-in look. Through their debacles, Veronica’s makeup becomes less polished embracing some smeared mascara. Veronica/Bailey’s superficial wounds applied with alcohol-based color. Veronica’s were placed on high points of limbs as if she curled in a ball protecting her face and heart. Bailey’s were placed on knees, chin, brow as if falling open arms, careless and free. Characters we met on the road had unique makeup looks. Tattoos were hand-drawn made into temporary transfers for Bob, Kira, and Jarrod’s crew.

The Upshaws Gloves Off Synopsis When Bennie tries to live a healthier lifestyle, he winds up in a boxing ring with an emotional Bernard. Maya struggles with a school bully.

Technical Description We created authentic, contemporary looks for an aspirational working class Indiana family. Using photos from the department head’s family/friends, we designed each scene and situation to reflect reality and appropriate situational transitions. Our men had foundations custom blended—in scenes where bodies are exposed, one actor with head-to-toe vitiligo-like spots, was hand painted with Dermablend. In an after fight scene, one actor has a zygomatic bone bruise injury, applied in less than 1 minute, backstage during a quick change with a Nye bruise palette. The ladies’ looks reflect current Indiana trends except when the middle school daughter attempts a rebellious smokey eye before school. We used layers of powder and glitter shadows until ultimate inappropriateness was reached. Putting much thought and design into the eye and lip shades used on all of our adult ladies, we considered the scene and action. Many subtle changes brought realism to our show.

Virgin River

Rumor Has It

Synopsis The town attends the annual picnic where residents engage in friendly competition, romantic tiffs and — as far as Mel in concerned – too much gossip.

Technical Description I wanted to achieve a natural makeup look with pops of brightness, with certain shades of colour/glowing skin. Using blotting papers instead of powder, it brings out the natural skin tone, removing the extra shine. I used matte eyeshadows and light eyeliner colours on characters for the exteriors to create the focus on the eyes. Taking an angled brush and powder shadow to the eyeliner to have the softness underneath the eye. Having a bright makeup product for each character (lip/cheek) created a freshness for their face in the outdoor natural light. The bright lip colours were lined with a slightly brighter colour than the lipstick, and the cheek colour was a shade brighter on the apples of the cheeks, then contoured to draw focus to the rounds of the cheeks. For this episode it was important to have natural makeup but adding brightness and still creating balance with colour. We Are Who We Are Right Here, Right Now #4 Synopsis After Christina mysteriously shows up, Leti confronts Atticus about his plan to return to Florida. Later, in search of missing pages to a crucial text, Leti, Tic, and Montrose head to Boston with Hippolyta and Diana. Back in Chicago, a handsome stranger nurses Ruby’s disappointment over a squandered job opportunity. Technical Description The goal of the makeup was to be as realistic as possible and bring the viewers into the character’s life. We recreated a military base with their specific rules, and the Italian world outside of the base. The makeup kept imperfections if they existed, and created it if they didn’t - working side by side with the environment: creating hot, cold, sadness, happiness, etc. Covering tattoos, recreating them, covering pierced ears and creating fake piercings, creating fake beards and mustaches, and shaving hundreds of soldiers.

The Wilds Day Twenty-Three Synopsis On the island, Leah feels closer than ever to proving that someone’s behind their predicament. Post- rescue, fed up with the tight-lipped authorities, Leah goes searching for her own answers. Technical Description The Wilds had 3 separate timelines and look for each character. Pre-Island: Using the girls' natural skin tones and youth was important. Pimples weren’t always covered helping tell their individual stories. Authenticity was important. Island: Introducing textures. Sunburn fx techniques were used with stippling, mottling, and flicking of inks. Skin tones were darkened with spray tans and body washes. Dry lips and skin peeling, also using the environment like sand, dirt. Post Rescue: Skin tones at their most weathered and darkened by the sun exposure and wind. Spray tans for all, adding two dimensional cuts and scratches along with pro bondo pieces for injuries.

Yellowstone

Freight Trains And Monsters

Synopsis The Duttons open camp, which proves to be the best therapy for Tate. Jamie and Hendon agree to teach a lesson to two criminals, but it does not go as intended. Beth learns more about Roarke’s business plans. Teeter joins the bunkhouse.

Technical Description For Yellowstone we came up with specific looks for the ranch life, the business life and everyday life. The ranch life consists of a clean no makeup look for certain female cast. Kho Gen Do foundation along with natural eyeshadow’s, light liner and mascara and nude lip liners lent well for everyday and ranch life. The men get a Sensai Bronzer for the outdoor tan look. And we layer the tan look with our own Cole’s Mix to give a more weathered working look. Beards and mustaches are groomed and colored to finish the look. The business look consists of heavier pigmented bases such as RCMA and Visiora. For the women, Smokey eyes with smudged liner and blended blushes, layered mascara give the sophisticated business look. Blue Bird bruising colors along with Fleet Street Bloods were used for the battered and dead looks on this episode. Younger A Decent Proposal Synopsis As Diana sets out on her honeymoon, Liza considers Charles’s proposal. Kelsey turns Quinn down, but some speed bumps in her personal and professional life make Kelsey doubt herself. Lauren’s 30th is out of this world. Technical Description This episode launches the seventh and final season of Younger. Fans look to Younger for its fashion, its hair styles...and of course its makeup. This season is no exception. This episode shows our ladies at work, at home...and then attending Lauren's 30th birthday bash. And although our heroine, Liza, is no longer pretending to be 26...her looks are still chic and current and up to the minute. With a predominantly female cast, varying in ages, Younger is the perfect showcase for contemporary makeup. Sutton Foster, Hilary Duff, Debi Mazar, Molly Bernard, Phoebe Dynevor, Kathy Najimy, Laura Benanti, and Megan McGinnis are featured in this episode.

End of Category Outstanding Period And/Or Character Makeup (Non-Prosthetic)

The Alienist: Angel Of Darkness Ex Ore Infantium Synopsis Sara Howard has opened a pioneering private detective agency. She reunites with formidable alienist Dr. Laszlo Kreizler and New York Times journalist John Moore to find the kidnapped infant daughter of a Spanish dignitary. Technical Description The first episode is certainly not the mirror of all the challenges we have had during the all series, but certainly my favorite one between them. On the upper-class women, we used the typical natural flawless beautiful look of the Victorian period but we dared to use more sophisticated colors on the aristocratic class ladies, inspired from their colorful dresses and riches accessories. For our male character we used the technique of the laying on facial hair, in order to create and reproduce the fashion of that time. Sideburns, and stylish moustaches where very much used. We characterized one actor texturizing his skin tone and giving him a scar across the eye that turned his shape in a scary way adding a beard to accentuate his dreadful look. On another actress we applied a bald cap because she had to have a very short wig.

A Black Lady Sketch Show Way To Ruin The Party, Soya! Synopsis Office workers misinterpret their colleague’s warnings as compliments; a woman holds a post-date press conference; a fib about a jumpsuit derails a housewarming; a genie appears when diners correctly split a check; college debaters tackle classic Black debates; a couple weaponizes a song’s infectiousness; Skye tries to reunite the group.

Technical Description For the Split the Check Genie, we started with a clean canvas, then protected Gabrielle’s skin with barrier cream. Instead of using water as the mixing agent, we used a long wearing Ben Nye LiquiSet and KryLon water paint - chosen for its capability to be worn for long periods of time. The ultimate goal for the makeup was to show brightly on camera and last all day. Next, we highlighted the actress’ face using an airbrush gun. With careful brush stroke techniques, we applied the darker brows and customized the lips with red paints and glitter. Glue was used to apply jewels to the forehead. In Rude Poisoning, Ashley was aged 40 years with makeup. Referencing her family photos and with chiaroscuro in mind, we achieved a sense of volume, hollowness, and wrinkles needed to age Ashley realistically and dramatically allowing her to portray to her character, Grandma Ruby.

Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina

Chapter Thirty-Six: At The Mountains Of Madness

Synopsis The darkest days of the void arrive as Sabrina struggles with grief and regret. Can she summon the strength to overcome an endless cycle of destruction?

Technical Description Staying true to Sabrina's timeless/flare of the 60's principal characters had stylized glam looks. We changed Sabrina's look to reflect her pending death, using dirt, alcohol-based paints, lightening her skin tones, cream colours, and dermaflage to create that living in the mountains, near death look. Our Blackwood character had severe neck trauma from being decapitated and head was presented on a platter. We sculpted with dermaflage, painted with alcohol paints and fresh scab to achieve the depth of his severed head look. Blackwood's eye scorch was achieved with dermaflage, super baldiez, puss, blood, and charcoal. Nick's travel to space to retrieve Sabrina leaves them with a frozen look, achieved with airbrushed alcohol paints, ice fx, and highlighting powders. Our band of possessed minors were made to look demonic with airbrushing, and foaming mouths of yellow and black froth. City On A Hill Overtime White And Overtime Stupid Synopsis Jackie reckons with the destructive consequences of his actions as Rickey Townsend prepares to testify against Decourcy. With violence intensifying, Decourcy, Anton and Siobhan face off in the interrogation room. Grace makes an unfortunate miscalculation. Back at the Rohr house, Jenny makes fast friends with the mysterious woman from Belfast. Technical Description City on a Hill is a gritty crime drama that takes place in Boston in the early 1990’s. We witness the ravages of drugs in the opening scene when we see dead Jimmy Ryan, which we created by paling him out and layering two prosthetics to give depth to the gunshot wounds that killed him. It’s evident when we meet Holly Gunner, who we paled out and contoured around the eyes and cheeks to give her the look of someone who barely survived a drug overdose. The dealers, Anton and Kelvin, are gang members who we intentionally kept clean cut, so their mother won’t suspect them. We reflected the brutality of Anton’s arrest on his face with bruises that he carries for a couple of episodes. Their mother, Grace, as she realizes what her children have become, slowly disintegrates. We reflected this by slowly wearing away her makeup.

Clarice Ghosts Of Highway 20 Synopsis Clarice and the VICAP team are deployed to Tennessee, where the FBI is laying siege against a fringe militia group called The Statesmen.

Technical Description This psychological crime-drama chronicles the untold story of FBI Agent Clarice Starling as she returns to the field in 1993 - one year after the events from the 1991 feature - The Silence Of The Lambs. Extensive research of early 1990’s (late eighties), period appropriate colors, products and make-up textures – scents and specific items referenced in TSOL were supplied to cast. Custom lace facial hair pieces applied with spirit gum to cast and BG to further establish period – including police officers, aides, and Sheriff Rowan. Darkened natural beard growth with Illustrator Palette & enhanced facial hair with hand-laid yak hair for Novak. Tripathi silver facial hair covered daily with Wonderbrow eyebrow tint to avoid wardrobe transference. Intravenous track marks created with thickened Pros-aide and alcohol-activated colors on Emma, alcohol-activated bruises on Peter, bullet wound on Novak forehead 2-part silicone compound. Clarice blood-splattered face from Novak gunshot.

The Comey Rule

Night Two

Synopsis Night Two is an account of first months of the Trump presidency – where allies became enemies, enemies became friends and truth depended on what side you were on.

Technical Description Communicated directly with real-life political figures Mr. & Mrs. Comey, Ms. Yates, Mr. McCabe, etc. to list their own personally preferred products and cosmetics – including fragrances – to use upon our cast. Comey (J. Daniels) eyebrows tinted daily with Wunderbrow gel. Trump (B. Gleeson) requested alternative to traditional partial plastic/vinyl cap process to avoid over-heating – instead bald scalp assembled directly on the performer daily from scratch using Opsite (transparent, medical adhesive film), thickened pros-aide and PAX. Trump’s tanned TV Host foundation is airbrush and cream combo – his ears, neck and hands deliberately avoided for contrast – liver spots/broken capillary and lightened eyebrows with alcohol- activated Skin Illustrator pigments. Mrs. Comey (J. Ehle) hand-painted sun-damage freckling to age forehead/hands achieved with alcohol-activated pigments. Jeff Sessions (J. Lo Truglio) aging make-up – capillaries, liver spots, splatter freckling alcohol-activated make-up. Eyebrows lifted with facial-hair bleach. Lisa Page (O. Chaplin) – full arm/leg tattoo coverage PAX. Creepshow Model Kid & Public Television Of The Dead Synopsis Joe's closest friends are the models toys of his favorite scary movie monsters; a public TV station is overwhelmed when the appraisal of an antique book accidentally summons a dark force. Technical Description For both segments of this episode, we had to place our talent into the mid 1970’s era. Our adult males all wore hand laid sideburns or lace mustaches with some needing sparse areas filled in with color and lose hair. Our female cast featured popular eyeshadow and lip colors of the times. Our most cherished character for this episode, the little boy Joe, wears a crude Dracula makeup. Through the dismay of his bullies, Joe is free to express himself as the true monster fan that he is through a cleaner Dracula makeup in the climax. Custom Vietnam tattoos were drawn and created for our character Norm in the second half of this episode. His overall look is a tribute to Bob Ross, so we left his thick beard, tightening up the loose ends. Creepshow has a very tight schedule demanding many makeup changes each day.

Dickinson Split The Lark Synopsis Things don't go as planned when Emily tries to express her gratitude to Sam during a night at the opera. Technical Description The looks for Split the Lark stage makeups involved a combination of historical reference, veteran opera collaborations and modern day stage makeups. Referring to the 19th century color palettes and finding a wealth of cosmetic recipes in The New Family Receipt Book I used texture to add depth and realism. Adelaide has a heavier base to mimic the wax, oil and ambergris they used. I duped with William Tuttle foundation and a good powdering. The charcoal eye makeup was pulled from what we see today in stage makeup. We heightened the main casts makeup based on the setting adding touches of rouge, lip and mascara to add a sense of occasion and lend itself towards the fantasy. I love burts-bees tinted balms for the natural flushed lips. We used over 70 pieces of facial hair for the audience which was applied with kd 151 spirit gum along with hand-laid hair.

Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story

No Fault

Synopsis In the wealthy La Jolla, California of the 1980s, Betty Broderick is a wife and mother of 4 whose successful lawyer husband Dan wants a divorce. Betty thinks she can’t be divorced without her consent. Betty is wrong.

Technical Description Extensive research of the 80’s era, especially 1985, 86’, and 89’. Mastering makeup looks, colors, textures, techniques to mirror the true feel of The Betty Broderick Story. 1980’s heavy handed brighter lipstick colors, especially bronzy browns, pearlized mauves outlined with darker shades, tanned darker skin achieved by airbrushing, custom mixing tanner as a base for each actor appropriate for each character, heavier drop shadow, purposely matching shadow colors to costume, often unblended lines, sharp edges to see the makeup. Natural full filled in brows, cheeks heavily shaded under cheekbones, drawn toward the temples, matte foundations, top and bottom lined eyes, several heavy coats mascara. Men's facial hair carefully groomed and designed for the specific time period as well as appropriate to each character. Fargo Raddoppiarlo Synopsis Deafy and Odis join forces, Josto seeks revenge, Oraetta finds new employment, Gaetano makes a move, and Zelmare and Swanee help the Smutnys with their debt. Technical Description Most of Fargo Season IV took place in 1950. We looked to the late 40’s as our reference, except for some of the younger girls who may have been reading magazines and going to movies. We kept most women to brows and lipstick, as we wanted the neighborhoods to look real, not like everyone stepped out of a magazine. Some of the women wore hardly any make-up and some were done up with lipstick and lashes, depending on their station in life. We gave a few of the older women the thinner arched brows from the 1930’s, as they kept their styles from when they were younger. There was a lot of facial hair grooming for the men. We used multiple tools to create and maintain the clean shaven and moustache looks.

For All Mankind

The Grey

Synopsis Season finale. Tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union reach an all-time high on the moon, throwing multiple missions into jeopardy.

Technical Description Season 2 is a leap of 10 years from Season 1 into 1983, contrasting the first season’s vivid colors with more muted color palettes. Several casts aged: simple stretch and stipple, for minimal facial lines and gels to give us the beginnings of age spots. During a Russian invasion in space, Jamestown personnel are sucked into space, others wounded from explosive glass and our principal cast implode from the moon pressure, resulting in their death. The reflected wounds: ruptured, rash-like skin, and broken eye vessels. Airbrushed blood reflecting horizontal wind pressure on Jamestown astronauts. Monochromatic palettes reflect the era and emotions behind all the makeup; zero glam rock, but rather 1983 middle America. In the end, our principal cast reflects this look at the Houston memorial scene- muted, somber and sad. Genius: Aretha No One Sleeps Synopsis Despite significant emotional losses including a second divorce and the death of her father, Aretha pushes herself artistically and triumphs. Technical Description This episode was challenging because we were depicting many real life persons who played integral roles in Aretha Franklin’s life. Each character was recreated from real-life research photos and videos. Looks for Franklin (Cynthia Erivo) and the other women included period appropriate makeup from the late 70s through the late 90s. We shaved, reshaped and groomed the men’s facial hair to match the real-life musicians, celebrities, etc. We added lace sideburns to the Jerry Wexler’s (David Cross) character, and then filled in with chopped curly hair to complete the look. The character of Ted Cunningham wore a hand laid moustache.

Godfather Of Harlem The Fruit Stand Riot Synopsis When innocent black teenagers and bystanders are savagely beaten and arrested by police, the Harlem community rallies to free them. Adam Clayton Powell and Mayme Johnson use peaceful protest, but Bumpy Johnson and Malcolm X prefer street justice. Technical Description In this episode, a recurring shoe-shine character, Cecil, gets beaten by racist cops for trying to break up a misunderstanding. For this makeup we used a mix of silicone encapsulated prosthetics, pros-aide transfers, and painting techniques. The swollen eye was a silicone prosthetic painted with a mix of alcohol-based makeups and grease based makeups. The other deep gashes were made with pros-aide transfers and all the bruising was hand painted. We added a lot of blood to really enforce how badly beaten and in bad shape this character is in. For the other character in this episode, we stuck to makeups that were fashion for the time (1964) focusing on eyebrow shape, nail and lip color. For Malcolm X, we tried to match as closely as possible to the real persons and colored in the facial hair of our actor to match what Malcolm had in real life.

The Good Lord Bird

Jesus Is Walkin'

Synopsis The plan to take control of Harper's Ferry is finally put into action; however, a crucial mistake threatens the success of the entire operation. With shots firing, Onion is sent out to get reinforcements.

Technical Description I researched pre-civil war America including the look and style of slavery, prevailing facial hair of the times and the look of historical figures. I used grit and shine along with period appropriate facial hair to recreate the era. Makeup simulating Black powder residue was misted on with spray bottles and various wounds and blood spatters were applied when needed. I created 3 transitional looks for the character of Abolitionist John Brown showing the passage of time and trail-worn tension utilizing facial hair pieces and painting. I applied a combination of multiple lace pieces and hand laid hair to create the iconic long and wild beard of John Brown. Age lines were drawn and with the aid of custom-made sunspot sponges, spots were applied. Hand laid eyebrows finished Brown’s look. Halston Versailles Synopsis Halston considers a fateful business deal and meets a charismatic escort while struggling with old insecurities ahead of a historic fashion show. Technical Description All our characters makeups were created with careful consideration of all historical documentations, books, publications and available tapes from the early 1960’s through the end of 1980’s. All shades were carefully selected to give a accurate reflection of fashion makeups and technics and the particular settings of the various scenes. We explore powder finishes, brow shapes, liner and red lips of the early 60’s. We track Halston’s life. Capturing the boldness in makeup of the late 60’s. Careful choices of lashes and applications. The pearly shine, the contouring, the hues of softer glowing skin complementing Halston’s fashions throughout 70’s and early 80’s portraying Halston’s genius as his empire unfolds and defines the era.

Once the iron-willed lady of the manor, Viola becomes consumed by a monstrous rage, ensnaring all souls around her. Technical Description This episode takes place during the mid-17th century. It was filmed in black and white which provided unique challenges. Make-ups had to be conceived in terms of greyscale. We begin with our sisters courting suitors. Liquid foundation provided a pale, even, glowing base. Brows well-groomed and filled with powder. Soft pink tones created eyelid crease and mascara make the eyes pop. Liner was not used in order to keep looks simple and sophisticated. As our character is diagnosed with TB, she progressively becomes sicker. Less foundation allowed her complexion to appear uneven. Gradations of dark brown cream were used around the eyes and in the hollows of the cheeks. Ultra sweat was also utilized. Plague victim’s skin often turned black and died if left untreated. This was accomplished with gradations of purple cream.

Natalie Palamides: Nate - A One Man Show

Synopsis Tough talk takes an unexpected turn as Nate, played by comedian Natalie Palamides, explores humor, heartbreak, sexuality, and consent with a live audience.

Technical Description For the character of Nate, a coarsely hackled blend of crepe wool was hand laid to build chest and leg hair, mutton chops and unibrow. A large, bushy, hand ventilated mustache piece and a cartoonish black eye were designed to enhance the absurdity of the character. Custom made Uber, Lyft and Taxi tattoo transfers were applied to the body and were under/over sealed with Bondo and silicone adhesive. Natalie Palamides’ intensely physical performance included wrestling, stunts, and an on-stage shower scene. Additionally, the special was shot over two back-to-back stage performances, with 30 minutes of turnaround time in between. In an effort to reduce talent’s reset time, these technical considerations required extra reinforcement and waterproofing to all design elements; Bondo and silicone adhesive for sealing and alcohol-based colors for semi-permanence. The Nevers Pilot Synopsis London, 1899. Three years after an otherworldly entity equips them with extraordinary abilities, Amalia True and Penance Adair work to protect fellow Touched from widespread, deepening antipathy. Meanwhile, Detective Frank Mundi investigates a string of murders at the hands of a reportedly Touched and highly dangerous serial killer named Maladie. Technical Description The Nevers Makeup was a challenge in many ways: Every character had to have a unique, yet natural/real look. The overall concept had to include the Period (Victorian) and the characters’ gifts whilst underlaid with the look of a strong woman. The Faust opera sequence had to look opulent, with Maladie’s presence looking out of place, deranged and dangerous. Opera performers Makeup kept to the Victorian Theatre guidelines and Devil’s facial hair was hand punched on silk, per theatre leads at the time. Seven greasepaint colours were mixed for each character’s look. Maladie’s Makeup was applied by hand: a mix of burnt cork and Vaseline around the eyes; chapped lips and mouth sores using layers of make-up Psoriasis; vac form stained teeth were made; all scars were hand-drawn; and her sallow complexion by layering yellow, red, blue and green pigment gels as an undercoat, then applying a pale base color.

Oslo

Synopsis Oslo is based on a true story of negotiations between implacable enemies. The film follows the secret back- channel talks, unlikely friendships, and quiet heroics of a small but committed group of Israelis and Palestinians, plus one Norwegian couple, that led to the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords.

Technical Description The make-up work was character driven in order to reproduce the late 1990’s and represent real living people of the time. All the colours had to be correct to the period and extensive research on all of the characters to get them looking as correct as possible. We also had different cultures which also had to be represented correctly with the make-up as well as war zone scenes with blood and dirt, dust and general grime.

Perry Mason

Chapter Six

Synopsis Perry’s first day in court is derailed when evidence of Emily’s infidelity surfaces. Della and Strickland investigate a connection between Detective Ennis and the kidnappers. Meanwhile, Ennis’ partner wants him to take care of anyone who can implicate them. Birdy urges Sister Alice to scrap her plan to resurrect Charlie.

Technical Description First and foremost, we strived to do makeup that was correct for the story. Supporting the emotional direction and helping to enhance the actors’ performances. Never at any point did we try to make the show about makeup or only portray the glamorous Hollywood Noir filmmaking imprint we all know. Using a combination of makeup and techniques we grounded our 1920’s-1930’s look to mimic the working-class citizen. Never glamorizing the actors unless to specifically support a role in the story. We limited the female actors’ color pallet to mimic the common acquisition of the time. Which would have been one or two lip colors and a couple shades for eyes and one blush commonly done with the lipstick color itself. All actors had facial hair makeovers. Women had eyebrows groomed to be of the period. Men had facial hair groomed and or added daily. The Queen's Gambit Adjournment Synopsis After training with Benny in New York, Beth heads to Paris for her rematch with Borgov. But a wild night sends her into a self-destructive spiral. Technical Description This episode contains make-up looks for multiple periods and styles in the 1950s to the 1960s and styles from different parts of the USA and the world, for both men and women. It shows the changing looks of the period, drug abuse and the pop culture looks of the time. All the make-ups created for the project were correct to the periods which spanned older characters whose looks were still in the 1940s through to the 1960s. The work included aging make-ups from child to adult and from adult to older adult using paint for line work, no prosthetics, as well as changing the period of the make-up or keeping the character in a previous era which both helped portray the passage of time. The make-ups were both character and period glamour.

Ratched Pilot Synopsis Nurse Mildred Ratched seeks employment at Lucia State Hospital as it prepares to admit a new psychiatric patient: notorious killer Edmund Tolleson. Technical Description Post World War II California was seemingly optimistic; Nurse Ratched arrives at St. Lucia. Interior hospital makeup looks designed to create oppression and cool tones; outside St. Lucia warm tones and cheeriness with brighter colors. Period accuracy is always a priority; although red lipstick was the main color, softer shades for Sarah Paulson, rigid looks for Judy Davis, 1930’s look for Amanda Plummer’s character who was a flapper, high glamour for Sharon Stone, younger actors are very polished, precise grooming for the men. Patients in the hospital still had a touch of their former lives, ill patients have sickness makeups. Burn makeups on main actors.

Robin Roberts Presents: Mahalia

Synopsis Born in New Orleans, Mahalia Jackson began singing at an early age and went on to become one of the most revered gospel figures, melding her music with the civil rights movement. Jackson sang at numerous rallies including the March on Washington in 1963 alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Technical Description This decade piece opened my eyes to a new understanding of the journey of what we call makeup today. Studying every detail of what was available and what was not available in this era was all an exciting learning experience. I felt the necessary pressure to keep the looks authentic to the decade. Every day we would start with a natural complexion, a rouge color for the apples of the cheeks and to top it off a soft berry lip. One of our characters Mildred, played by Joaquina Kalukango had to undergo the application of 12 prosthetic pieces on both hands to represent Arthritis, along with her double. Most times this process would take several hours. Mahalia worked hard as a successful Gospel singer and Mildred’s hands were the proof of this. Salt-N-Pepa

Synopsis Salt-N-Pepa details the journey of Cheryl Salt James and Sandra Pepa Denton. Salt-N-Pepa made a huge impact as one of the first all-female rap groups. The movie follows the group as they become the first female rap act to go platinum and experience ground-breaking success. Technical Description Recreating looks for SNP was a trip down memory lane, as young black girl in the 80’s I witnessed their style first-hand. To showcase the progression of the group from their early days when they did their own makeup, we needed to avoid perfection. To achieve this, I avoided current makeup trends. I used a liquid foundation (Dior) that was ever so slightly off colour, bottom liners were smudged, and very lightly pigmented lip tones were used (Revlon). All this helped to create their amateur look. As their careers progressed so did their makeup sophistication. MAC was the staple for black women in the 90’s. I used studio fix powder foundation this gave the popular matte look coupled with the dynamic original vivaglam lipstick and spice liner. Having the real SNP visiting set was remarkable, they recalled the products that MAC would send them in the early days.

Selena: The Series Fideo Synopsis Sister Suzette becomes concerned when sparks fly between Selena and the new guitarist, Chris. Meanwhile, AB is under pressure to write new songs.

Technical Description The responsibility of makeup department was to research, recreate and manipulate the makeup to represent the Quintanilla family through decades (1960-1990). The challenge was to recreate the real looks of the Quintanilla family to tell their daily life off and on the stage, it was important to implement vintage makeup techniques, including facial hair styles, period color range for each character, rejuvenations, aging, precision to changing shapes and tone in eyebrows, lips, eyes, skin and hairdressing of the actors. With many distinct looks, one of the biggest successfully was due to makeup practical and logistics application (less-to-more). A prime example of visual transformation was Natasha Perez; bleached her eyebrow to altering the shape, concealing her upper lip to make it disappear, texture on the skin for an aging effect, making her look close to Yolanda Saldivar.

Shadow And Bone

A Searing Burst Of Light

Synopsis Unwilling to be separated from Mal, Alina hatches a plan to join him on a perilous expedition through the Fold. Kaz chases a lead on a lucrative job.

Technical Description The makeup department gave realistic images through dirt, sweat, beauty and blood renditions. Alina and Mel were orphaned map readers that traveled with young companions. Their original looks were dirty/unkempt. Lisa Ashley moisturizer was used on the hands, nails and face with dropper dirt. For some, we stained their teeth using a Tooth tartar palette, covered nose/ear piercings while all facial hair was removed from our guys. Jesper, a Crow character, wore very lite eyeliner, burgundy lips and soft blush. Our young Grishner ladies had similar applications, same arrays of blushes and lip tones. We used tattoo colors, A and B silicone and blood for cuts/ bruises. Ice effect, collodion and tattoo colors were used on faces, lips, ears for frozen effect from snow travel. Intricate details for each look gave such an appreciation for this show. Sherman's Showcase Black History Month Spectacular

Synopsis Sherman's Showcase returns us to the world of everyone's favorite fictional variety-dance show to celebrate Black History Month as only Sherman can (a few months late). Technical Description Sherman’s Showcase Black History Month Spectacular was a one-hour special on IFC featuring Sketch Comedy with over 135 characters and showcases dancers in the depiction of Black History and culture over 7 decades. Makeup techniques involved extensive period research and makeup looks that were true to the era as well as the knowledge and study of available color palettes of those times. Although a labor of love, the challenges of the show involved quick changes between sketches as well as many character and dance performers within every scene. The body of work was bountiful yet necessary to convey the overall concept of the special.

Louie, 1980’s couture looks. Bounce foundation, contour, highlight, shimmers, gold/brown eyeshadows, red lips, red handmade press on nails. Neighborhood Crackheads - same as Wanda but, much more. Teddy, drunk/hungover/unkept beard- darken eyes, shading and highlights - Jordan pallet, cream colors and Lisa Ashley moisturizer were used. Tattoos/piercings cover, blood work, dirt, sweat, an everyday process for this piece.

Snowpiercer

A Single Trade

Synopsis As the Big Alice crew are granted shore leave on Snowpiercer, Layton and Wilford have differing opinions on the future.

Technical Description Snowpiercer has undergone a revolution and has merged with Big Alice, a new train serving as a visual contrast to Snowpiercer. Characters on Big Alice were designed with a Cold War feel, looking monochromatic with the train surroundings. They find individuality by wearing piercings and appliqués out of things scavenged from the train like bits of metal and stamping their faces with ink. Tattoos were designed like stick and pokes with available tools. We worked with a burn specialist when designing the frostbite looks, using multiple techniques such as layering 3rd degree, dermaflage, bondo pieces, puss, 8- hour cream and blood to create translucency in the skin. The Nightcar has a Studio 54/ Cabaret feel. Party- goers showed resourcefulness by wearing eyelashes and moustaches made from paper scraps. The star is the Nightcar Queen, Miss Audrey. Her Diamond-themed cabaret look showcased 100+ individually placed Swarovski crystals throughout her body. Star Trek: Discovery Terra Firma, Part 2 Synopsis Georgiou uncovers the true depths of the plot against her, leading her to a revelation about how deeply her time on the U.S.S. Discovery truly changed her. Technical Description We transformed the cast into their alter egos the opposite of their prime characters. Michelle Yeoh The Emperor.

Bdellium, Sigma and Mac brushes used. Mirror Burnham was transformed using Anastasia, Pat McGrath, Fenty Beauty and YSL. For her torture and breakdown scenes we used Egyptian Magic for sweat and a combination of Skin Illustrator palettes and glazing gels. We used Bdellium beauty, SPFX and Titanic brushes. Her angular eyes added an element of evil that embodied her character perfectly. The cut on Mirror Owo’s face was a pros-aide transfer. Makeup Bondo and Blue Bird palette in dark to transition edges and colour it.

Sylvie's Love

Synopsis When a young woman meets an aspiring saxophonist in her father’s record shop in 1950s Harlem, their love ignites a sweeping romance that transcends changing times, geography, and professional success. Technical Description All types and shades of makeup and nail polish were chosen to be appropriate for the period. Foundations and powders applied to match skin tones to look natural. For the late fifties women’s eyebrows were drawn and filled in thicker and more arched using eyebrow pencil. Liquid eyeliner used to draw period appropriate shape of liner. Matte shades of taupes, blues, greens, lavender and beige eyeshadows applied. Soft shades of blush applied to apples of cheeks. Matte lipstick shades of reds, corals, oranges and pinks were applied using brushes or directly from tube to create the realistic look of the time and shape the lips. In the early sixties penciled brows were drawn slightly less arched. Neutral peaches and nude lipsticks were added to the palette of lip colors that carried over from fifties. Liquid eyeliner applied for a more cat eye shape. Men’s facial hair shapes chosen to match the period.

THEM: Covenant

Day 10

Synopsis The house on Palmer Drive. Technical Description The makeup techniques used for the horror noir series ranged across a diverse cast. Set in 1953, accurate and researched period makeups for all the characters were essential to the storytelling. From the neighborhood’s white housewives, to the men’s manicured facial hair of the time, to the mental and physical trauma our main family endures, each character was designed and executed closely with the show runner. Small silicone and 3D transfer prosthetics were used on Henry to enhance his beaten and battered look. A detailed paint makeup was designed for the Tap Dance Man, a grotesque organic version of a minstrel makeup. In the final scenes of the episode each actor involved in the violence wore casualty makeups and extensive blood dressing to demonstrate the severity of the scene. This Is Us Birth Mother Synopsis Randall uncovers new truths about his past. Technical Description In this episode we move through multiple time periods from the 1960’s to present day following several characters, requiring period and age makeups. To age the characters Aunt Mae, Paul and Elizabeth Dubois, Hai, and older Hai we used beauty techniques, alcohol-based colors in addition to old age stipple to further age the actors. We also hand laid facial hair on the actors playing the character Hai. Actors also appear younger than their natural age and a combination of paint and facial lifts were used. Laurel was aged from a teenager to her thirties using painting techniques and period makeup to show her decline into drug use, her time in jail and her recovery. Period correct Makeup and facial hair (grooming, lace pieces and hand laid hair) was applied for principles and background for scenes taking place in 1960’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.

Technical Description On Alan Ball’s film Uncle Frank, the makeup team implemented innovative methods of design to achieve stylized period makeup of the 1960s and 1970s. This teamwork included hand laid sideburns (Paul Bettany, Steve Zahn, Steven Root, Colton Ryan) and stylized brows (Margo Martindale, Louis Smith). Outside of facial hair, we worked diligently to highlight the actors’ natural beauty while remaining focused on character identity deeply rooted in Southern charm and the refreshing transition to Bohemian beatnik New York City. Creativity was open ended through experimenting within the era’s statement pieces and defined color palettes. The Underground Railroad Chapter 9: Indiana Winter Synopsis Cora’s presence as a fugitive ignites tensions amongst the Valentine community. Just as she was beginning to make this her home, chaos reigns. Technical Description Barry Jenkins’ vision for a utopian farm community where black people could seek safety from slavery during the 1890s, was all about glowing skin and realistic period-appropriate facial hair. My team and I were responsible for styling, coloring, applying, cleaning, and re-styling hundreds of facial hair lace pieces. We combined hand-laying with lace pieces for both 1st team and background actors, favoring hand-laying whenever time permitted. We used the finest of brush strokes to add individual hairs to sculpted eyebrows, painted teeth to look less white, dirtied up fingernails, and filled in modern facial piercings with silicone or glue. I designed two pairs of contact lenses for two different actors; one set to portray an old eye injury, and the other to show cataracts. A combination of sheer foundations, emollient creams and facial oils were used to create a luminous and natural glow for cast.

We used tattoo transfers and hand laid mohair, yak and horse hair using Telisis-8, chilled below 0° to extend working time. Irish weather is damp all year round which causes maintenance issues, to solve this we perm all loose hair with an 8/10mm curl. We custom blend acrylic sealers and silicone release agents to stop dirt and lint adhering to our Tattoos.

Once the looks were understood then came the volume lashes, deep brown and black eyeshadows, sculpted earth tone contour, and depending on the decade her signature red lip. This was a fast-paced environment, like all sets but some days Wendy a.k.a. Ciera would transform from decade to decade up to 5 times.

Technical Description The overall goal from an artistic standpoint was to illustrate how impactful and emotionally provoking the use of color can be. Diasporic influences can be illustrated through the strong bold hues and saturations applied to lips/lids and conveyed through the ease and ethereal quality Beyonce’s skin offers to any scene. You will find examples of the natural tones and highlights of the landscape to practical applications on skin. The tones of the Savannah were taken into consideration when creating skin that brilliantly contrasts its surroundings. Research played a role in finding the inspiration for the body paint. Tribes from different countries were referenced for the looks such as the Prince’s conscience (Blue Man), black/turquoise stripes on Beyoncé and white pain on cast. The goal was to transform the traditional body art into a contemporary and glamorous end result. Large brushes were used instinctively to create the free- hand strokes.

We mimicked the looks of Kelly Anne Conway and Queen Elizabeth, giving a full coverage foundation set with translucent powder, creating the depth on her eyes using a darker matte shadow in the crease of the eyelids in addition to a pop of shimmer shadow on the lids.

Then adding dirt with a stipple sponge on the face and emphasizing tired eyes by adding a maroon cream eye liner on the actors water line. For James Corden, I strive for a result of an undetected invisibly corrected face. Starting with a regimen of skin care devised specifically for his needs which includes oil free moisturizer that diminishes pores and eye cream that helps smooths fine lines and reduce puffiness.

Technical Description We had to take into consideration our exterior location of times square at night and low temperatures in the middle of pandemic. We knew lighting would be unpredictable because of all the changing led billboards, we did not have the luxury of having a trailer nearby and touchups were done in the cold temperatures. As a recurring character, I feel I had perfected her look for the final performance on the show. I used Christian Dior foundations which give her a nice glow. The Statue of liberty character was done in a time crunch as it was scheduled for midnight when I had 20 minutes to apply the Kryolan aqua makeup paint which was applied with a sponge rather than a brush to avoid any streaks. I had to work fast as it dries quickly. I did her eyes a darker blue color to stand out more from the aqua green.

Technical Description Nicole loves a colorful, expressive, glam look, so it was all about her eyes. Her dress had blue/yellow/white flowers, so we decided to play up the blue with a graphic light blue mod-eye. I mixed blue and white Danessa Myriks Colorfix to create the blue used. I lined the top of the blue, as well as her lash line with a Mac black gel liner. I did not connect the outer corner of the top and bottom black liner, to give it a more modern look. Nicole loves dramatic bigger the better lashes, so I used Glamminati Hot Commodity lashes. Mac was used for her foundation, concealer, contour, powder, and a plum powder blush. I lined her lips with a plum liner and liquid lipstick also from Mac to finish off her lips. Jacques grooming was a bit of Dr. Hauschka Foundation topped with Hourglass powder.

The Pack

Switzerland Synopsis Six remaining teams arrive at the snowy mountains of Switzerland. The packs will face a number of challenges in the Swiss Alps, from ice curling, dog-sledding, filling barrels of whiskey, and rescuing avalanche victims. For one team, the journey will come to an end. Technical Description Lindsey Vonn is iconically associated with snowy mountain ranges during her skiing career. We had to overcome high-altitude, bitter cold winds, constant traveling in the Bernese Alps, which was drying out her skin and making her nose run. My goal was to create an appearance of hydrated, glowing skin, with no traces of redness peeking through by incorporating peachier tones. We did a hydrating face mask prior to makeup application and Embryolisse was the moisturizer of choice. I gave her a lifting dramatic cat eye, using Hourglass Voyeur Liquid Liner with double demi-wispie lashes and neutral Viseart eyeshadows to contrast against the winter white backdrop. She wore a liquid Nars blush and highlighter that I kept on the high points of her cheeks and her lips neutral with Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk. The custom blend foundation and concealer were creamy consistency to make touch-ups flawless and malleable.

Brow gels are used to keep facial hairs in place and to create depth in color, finishing with lip balm. During our hero's transformation, I decided to create a full beauty look.

Sarah Cooper: Everything's Fine

Synopsis Comedian and Trump lip-synching sensation Sarah Cooper tackles politics, race and other light topics in a sketch special packed with celebrity guests.

Technical Description Sarah played ten different characters, so I created subtle makeup differences for each. I created a polished Anchor Woman look for her main character with classic smoky eyes to contrast with her Trump character that had very minimal makeup, only foundation. For her Melania, Ivanka and Kellyanne characters, it was a quick-change, so I created specific lip colors to distinguish each one. Magician Sarah was glam with cat-eye liner and dark red lips. We went with a classic TV weather girl look for Maya Rudolph. For the rest of the guest stars, I decided to make one facial feature the focus. Jane Lynch had a heavily contoured eye. Helen Mirren wanted a bright berry lip. Marissa Tomei as Satan had a custom red lip color. Audrey Plaza’s eyes were the focus with green and gold shadow. Winona Ryder’s distressed character had heavily smudged eyeliner and mascara running down her face.

An ex-doctor offers a cure for losing steam in the bedroom. Grace recalls her first date with a rich man. Technical Description Makeups created authentic popular looks for our characters and reflected preferred styles from the black community (90’s/Present day). In an effort to maintain the integral theme of the show, the entire makeup department prioritized using BIPOC owned products. If not used alone they were supported or used in conjunction with professional products. Our 90’s children gleaned heavily from real life references of our department that grew up in the era. When creating our present day makeups, we leaned into trend setting makeups, of today to form a clear juxtaposition between the times. Clean industrial stylization was used for commercial sketches only. Steve Harvey character, a custom lace mustache was applied.

Tiffany Haddish Presents: They Ready Godfrey

Synopsis Tiffany Haddish returns to share the spotlight with a new batch of comedians who bring wildly funny and authentic takes on life in this stand-up series. Technical Description Tiffany's visage to look to like her own skin illuminating, very wearable and waterproof; being so active on stage. I did brows and lips first and built around them. A waterproof brow Tattoo pen. A melting high lighter on her lips with pencil and gloss; that I later used on her face because the more it heats the better it becomes. I used a technique of pushing the foundation into the skin to make sure it bonded well and won't move. I waterproofed her makeup with powder just around her nose and chin. The rest of face powder free for luminosity. Deep contouring and blush so she wouldn't look flat. A waterproof creme shadow on her top lid and under bottom lashes. A waterproof liquid liner that has lash glue in it; then applied two pairs of full mink lashes on her top lash line, and mini flairs for bottom. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

Then, Julia Michaels performs Lie Like This, and Jimmy ends the show with a P’Jimmies Dance Party.

Technical Description After being one of the first studios in NYC to return to production, I changed Jimmy’s look to reveal a fresh, no-makeup that was aligned with the more casual look of the show. With a discriminating eye, she delivered a balanced look between providing coverage where needed for the camera while maintaining the look of not being overdone and over powdered. Additionally, in the viral Vogue parody 73 Qs with Harry Styles I transformed Jimmy into present day Harry Styles. She meticulously stippled beard scruff in the same exact shape as Harry’s, added beauty marks, applied custom tattoo transfers to his hands, and painted his nails. We created the tattoo designs.

The Voice

Live Finale Part 2 Synopsis The two-night live event style network show reveals the final winner of Season 19. Coach’s Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani and John Legend each have duo contestant performances. There were special guest performers both nights and a top 20 artist performance with Dan & Shay. Technical Description Each Makeup Artist used unique skill sets this season on The Voice. Specifically for the contestants, the 10- minute time limit to adjust, refine and present the singer with makeup or red carpet look. This would include each singer being made up by sometimes 3 makeup artist a day. First, we would adjust any eye makeup or concealer needs while masked. If skin condition for television was more of a priority, the application would be using layers of products. Mostly using cream and liquids which could be moved or corrected right before shooting. This helps for Live Stage performance lighting and reality content being shot often in daylight. Each Coach had their own makeup artists who they worked with directly. Kelly Clarkson had makeup applied per her show look. Blake Shelton & John Legend were groomed with skincare, pigment, beard work and hair. Gwen Stefani did her own makeup.

A West Wing Special To Benefit When We All Vote

Synopsis The original cast of The West Wing come together for a special presentation of its Hartsfield’s Landing episode to benefit the nonprofit, nonpartisan organization When We All Vote. Technical Description Fifteen years have passed since the original political drama, The West Wing finished, so it was important to create Makeups that would complement the actors current ages while still capturing the familiarity of these iconic characters. I was fortunate to assemble a great team who all contributed, along with several personals, in creating looks that strived toward a timeless and subtle quality. For the women, we used natural shades of tans, browns and pink hues along with understated foundations to give a more youthful appearance. For the men we groomed any facial hair, choosing to leave the softening gray hair that has come with time for some, along with light makeup and tanning as needed. What The Constitution Means To Me

Synopsis Fifteen-year-old Heidi Schreck earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. Heidi resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.

Technical Description The greatest challenge in creating the look was the main character plays herself at various ages but never leaves stage, so no time to change makeup in between. Needed to design a look that was ageless, that could support the effortless transformation and seamless transfer from one age to the next. The makeup had to not get in the way, less was more. I prepared skin, evened out the tone, kept a dewy glowy fresh look, pink cheeks, eyeshadow that shaped eyes, not too much and thin eyeliner. Allowing for a neutral canvas for the actor and audience to get lost in.

World Of Dance

The Semi-Final 2 Synopsis In the Semi-Final 2, the final six acts of the top twelve take to the iconic World of Dance stage for the first time this season. The top two scoring acts will move onto the World Final and become one step closer to winning the $1 million grand prize.

Technical Description Makeups for Ziwe’s Episode 101 dove head first into encompassing the intersectionality of today’s social justice awareness and pop cultures. Ziwe’s personal artist drew inspiration for her looks from the glamorous Instagram makeup influencers in conjunction with old school Hollywood to meld in perfect harmony with Hair/Wardrobe and set design. Although the level of glam is at its max, it fully defines Ziwe’s bigger than life personality. The makeup department’s supporting looks remained trendy within their respective sketch’s social talking points - appropriately placed yet gaudy for Lisa Called The Cops, muted and demure for American Girl Imperial Wives. Staple products used for Ziwe talent in whole were supplied by Danessa Myricks.

Jenna’s Toothy Mom look was an oversized silicone mouth appliance with razor sharp teeth made out of dental acrylic, giving the actor the look of a cartoony monster. The Houseguests were transformed into earless, eyeless atrophied creatures. The team used custom sculpted encapsulated silicone appliances that were sutured and hair punched. This look also incorporated dental appliances and body makeup to enhance the character's gaunt, frail appearance. They also used a similar technique to turn the main character Jenna into one of these Houseguests, while still keeping the actor recognizable.

Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!

#TheMotherPucker Synopsis Sasha's social media video goes viral when a new BAY Cosmetics product causes an adverse reaction — and Brian becomes an Internet sensation himself.

Technical Description Working with Mr. Foxx on Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me!, I had to keep him looking natural and fresh. Being a personal Mr. Foxx, you must stay prepared for anything that he may throw at you. On DSEM, Mr. Foxx, the Director and Producers would often create characters the week of filming. Which meant there wasn’t any time for me to test the character’s makeup on Mr. Foxx prior to shooting. Collaborating with Mr. Foxx we developed some memorable characters. From Old Man Calvin to Rusty, a Tiger King like character. I had to create several last-minute prosthetics and a gag on the fly. And they all actually paid off!

It was a 15-piece encapsulated silicone make-up with 5 prosthetics on his face. Each frostbitten finger had a prosthetic enhanced with baldies sheets for his withered fingertips. His nose was designed to be removed with VFX. Eyebrows were hand laid, and Snowman was finished with ice crystals throughout the make-up. Also, two stages of healing for Gaetano’s swollen beat-up and bullet- grazed look progressed after the initial stage. These stages were designed to each use less swollen encapsulated silicone prosthetics on his eye, allowing better visibility for his action sequences. Additionally, we did various other character and trauma prosthetics, and dental veneers.

Genius: Aretha

No One Sleeps Synopsis Despite significant emotional losses including a second divorce and the death of her father, Aretha pushes herself artistically and triumphs. Technical Description To achieve the look of Cynthia as Aretha in her later years we created overlapping encapsulated silicone prosthetics. We augmented Cynthia's face adding weight to her cheek, jowl, chin and neck area. Cynthia also wore a full body fat suit. The suit consists of an outer silicone skin and fabricated under suit. The application varied depending on her wardrobe at times needing to blend the suit around her wrists and blending the face prosthetics to the suit in the chest area. The Irregulars

Chapter Four: Both The Needle And The Knife Synopsis Jessie comes face to face with Inspector Lestrade at a crime scene, Bea plays cat and mouse with Watson, and Leo feels torn over his life at the palace. Technical Description We took life-casts of the actors who were to have flayed faces. We then made positive plaster molds and sculpted two sets of flayed face pieces to accurately fit each face, incorporating a design which appeared as if there were an edge and that the face had been lifted off. Molds were then made, and silicone pieces run in plat gel 25/pre-painted. To create the three silicone faces a life-cast was taken from each actor and then skins were run out of these casts. They were then painted by me and hair punched by another member of the team. We did all of this in-between filming to try to keep costs down. They had to be made soft enough that they would hang nicely when held.

One was Sheriff Hunt’s right shoulder and half his chest that was bitten by a shoggoth. The other was Deputy Eastchurch’s torn-off jaw when bitten by a transforming Hunt that covered half his face, wrapping around his neck and down his chest. Both were large, encapsulated silicone prosthetics, rigged with blood tubing to bleed in their respective scenes. A portion of Hunt’s shoulder and Eastchurch’s chin and throat were painted green to remove in post with VFX to make the wounds deeper than we physically could. The Mandalorian

Hanged Synopsis As the city buzzes with anticipation over a pending execution, Penance grapples with a moral calling at odds with Amalia’s plan. With the two women at a crossroads, the Orphans must decide whom to follow. Technical Description Effie is Maladie in disguise -- to achieve this, we moved her as far away from Maladie madness as possible. Maladie's eyes/brows are very dominant, so we applied prosthetic over her brows and laid on new eyebrows. We bridged her nose, teeth were made to distort her profile, and then her wig. The Effie/Maladie reveal was filmed in one take, so the Effie wig had to go over the Maladie's wig and her brow and nose were conjoined to pull off in shot along with teeth over Maladie's rotten teeth. No CGI Shock Troops: The Shock Troops are the Henchmen. Many tests were done before settling on our final look of full face/head prosthetics and lenses. Cable and metal hardware was embedded in the silicone to enhance the modified look. All hair was hand punched. We also made the masks. CGI nose, mouth, and lower jaw painted chroma green for VFX.

Everyone And Their Brother Synopsis Owen and T.K. risk their lives to save two brothers trapped in a homemade minefield. Tommy interviews new candidates to fill the team's open EMT position. Paul's mother and estranged sister pay him an unexpected visit. Technical Description For this episode, we created a conjoined twin makeup on twin brothers. The characters were connected at the head. To pull this off we life cast the two actors in the position as well as separated. Electromagnets attached to Fiberglass skull caps kept them firmly attached for shooting and yet detachable for Covid breaks. The appliances overlapped and edges were hidden under the wig. Nubra, a contact adhesive kept the appliances in place during shooting and still allowed separation when needed. We changed the plane of one of the actor's face using an acrylic eye to sell the effect.

NOS4A2

Good Father Synopsis Charlie Manx fights for his life. Millie Manx determines to never let the lights go out in Christmasland again. Bing receives a long awaited call. Wayne McQueen, attempting to understand his mother, walks headlong into danger. Technical Description The start of the episode finds Charlie Manx on an autopsy table, having just been dissected with a Y incision. To accomplish this, Zach Quinto was glued into a full prosthetic overlapping, and layered, prosthetic makeup. His arms are covered in silicone prosthetics, separate silicone prosthetics cover his hands, with the addition of applied fingernails. His chest consists of two overlapping silicone prosthetics, one to represent the exposed internal organs and ribcage and another to simulate the opened Y incision with fully punched chest and stomach hair. His head is covered by an eleven-piece silicone makeup and thinning hair wig contact lenses and a full dental prosthetic. The Y incision chest piece is designed to be stapled in the scene by holding the skin flaps together with rare earth magnets imbedded in the prosthetic. The makeup is designed to be shot in the studio and in direct sunlight.

Blanca’s history with a patient leads to a challenging ordeal. Lemar shakes up the ballroom when he becomes father to the House of Khan forcing the House of Evangelista to reassemble.

Technical Description On Pose, we used prosthetics on one of our principal actors to look like he was dying of AIDS. To do this, a life cast was created using urethane, syntactic dough, and fiberglass. After the positive was created, the sculpture of the prosthetics was done, using Chavant sculpting polymer. Sculptures were made of the jaw bones and orbital/cheekbones to give a gaunt/dying look. They were molded in urethane, syntactic dough, backed with polyester resin technique. Platsil gel 10 with Smith's prosthetic deadener was used to fabricate vinyl encapsulated silicone prosthetics. Pieces were applied and edges smoothed using acetone. Texture was created using bondo for a seamless transition. Painting was done with alcohol activated air brush makeup. Free hand painting techniques, from splattered to dry brush were also used. Teeth were made from intrinsically tinted, flexible, and ridged acrylic. Lace eyebrows were also applied as well as contacts. Resident Alien

Pilot Synopsis An alien hiding in a small Colorado town meets the locals when they ask him to help solve a murder. Technical Description Resident Alien featured the design and build of the title character. Originally conceived by a CG company with the intentions of trying to sell it as a CG character, I was tasked with realizing the character within a human’s anatomical boundaries. 2 versions of the head were created: Version 1 called for a larger cranium to work with the height and proportions of the creature. The suit, cast in foamed latex, included intricate sculptured detail from collar bone down to crotch and included shoulders down to elbows. Mechanical, arm extensions, with articulated fingers, were operated by the wearer and later skinned in post. The performer wore stilts to elevate him to 8 feet tall. All shots of the alien from crotch up featured our practical creation. Version 2 of the Alien head, was downsized to fit the body dimensions of Alan Tudyk. Gloves, representing the Alien’s hands, were also created.

Shadow And Bone The Unsea

Synopsis The fate of the stag leaves Alina in an impossible position with Kirigan, whose connection to the Fold — and the power behind it — falls into place. Technical Description We have designed and created encapsulated silicone antler prosthetics for the Alina character in two stages, that were layered in the mold with different hardness silicones. Full belly silicone prosthetics were created for Inej that the actress could saw on camera. For Ivan’s claw, Zoya’s wrist and Kirigan’s disc silicone and pros-aide transfer combo prosthetics were used. We also made beaten up silicone prosthetics and entry and exit bullet wound transfer prosthetics for Mal.

Snowpiercer

A Great Odyssey Synopsis Melanie embarks on her most dangerous mission yet, while Layton reckons with his personal choices. Technical Description The Icy Bob character was designed, sculpted, molded, ran, and pre-painted at Amazing Ape. The face and head consisted of an overlapping multi-piece silicone prosthetic appliances made of interlocking bald cap, neck, forehead, nose, cheeks, chin, and upper lip prosthetics.

The Stand

The Walk Synopsis After tragedy strikes the Boulder Free Zone, Mother Abagail tasks members of her Committee with a dangerous mission. Meanwhile, Harold and Nadine begin their journey to New Vegas to unite with Flagg and claim their reward.

Technical Description Thankfully the prosthetics hold a strong role and play believably in support of this story. This episode starts with Ezra Miller as the arsonist Trashcan Man, heavily scarred from his life of fascination with fire. Silicone prosthetics on his face, head, hands arms and torso. Scars interlaced with alchemical tattoos. Five minutes later we witness the death of Mother Abagail. We transformed Whoopi Goldberg with silicone prosthetics for full face, neck and hands. True to references of strong African American centenarians, her structure was altered with minimal wrinkling. At this stage her look is very broken down and mottled, the end of her character arc from rich toned beautiful dark skin, to stressed, hollow eyed and worn to this. It was sad to see her die. Less sadly came our impaling of Harold Lauder. Owen Teague's gripping performance is jarring followed later by his vulture eaten corpse. Star Trek: Discovery

That Hope Is You, Part 1 Synopsis Arriving 930 years in the future, Burnham navigates a galaxy she no longer recognizes while searching for the rest of the U.S.S. Discovery crew. Technical Description Our incredible journey into Season 3 of Star Trek Discovery allowed us to populate our universe with brand new prosthetic creatures alongside treasured, canon species. For the first time in decades, Trek fans got to see Bajorans, Romulans, and Coridans brought to the screen. These makeups, in addition to Andorians, Orions, Betelgeusians, Cardassians, Laurians, Aammarazan, Barzans, Vulcans, and Kelpians were brought to life with a combination of multi-piece silicone appliance sets, hand-tied lace hair pieces, cabo-transfer appliances, tattoo transfers, resin, fiberglass, and foam latex.

The Third Day

Sunday — The Ghost Synopsis Sam is shocked to learn the truth about his connection to Osea and the islanders’ intentions for his future. Later, in a fight for his life, Sam tries desperately to escape their clutches and make it back to the mainland in one piece. Technical Description I designed prosthetics to help with the eeriness. When they take acid, I wanted to try augmenting the actors' face. I had the Martins’ faces made out of silicone and stuck back on their faces, cutting out eyes and mouth so they appeared normal but when they spoke/blinked, the faces remained motionless apart from the mouth and eyes. We shot this scene both with and without the masks so we could cut between the two. Other prosthetics were less subtle – Sam goes on a harrowing journey and has to endure many injuries in a short period of time. Having all these layers of make-up was very challenging to maintain whilst filming both in and on the sea. 103 is a continuous 24hr story, no breaks in the continuity. Keeping up with 6 levels of his injuries was challenging as we filmed over many weeks, not shooting in chronological order.

This Is Us There

Synopsis Kevin embarks on a stressful road trip. Jack and young Kevin go to football training camp. Technical Description To play Rebecca her late 60’s Mandy Moore (mid 30’s) is aged forward using 9 prosthetics and old age stipple. Her face, neck and hands are pre-painted before applying custom made and custom colored silicone appliances. These are blended using pros-aide cream and hand painted with alcohol-based colors to create freckling, age spots and texture. Finally a beauty makeup is applied over using Cream colors. Her Husband Miguel played by Jon Huertas (mid 40’s) is aged into his early 70’s. Consideration is made to Jon's Puerto Rican heritage in regards to his aging process. Alcohol based paints and old age stipple are applied under his prosthetics are placed along his smile line and under his chin creating a natural waddle. The Waddle is also hand punched with stubble hairs. Prosthetics wounds were also applied to the car crash victim across multiple days. Tiny Pretty Things

Dance Dance Revolution Synopsis Neveah urges the troupe to rise up against Ramon, while June battles her mother for emancipation. Bette tries a new tactic to score pills. Technical Description For this nightmare sequence the young girl sees herself being ripped apart and eaten. I constructed an articulated arm intrinsically colored to match the actress’ skin in a life cast from her own arm. The arm had internal bones molded from a skeleton and cast in resin, but ligaments of cotton cord to allow the joints to be appropriately loose. This internal structure was laid in after the silicone skin before filling with silicone gel to get the right feel to the muscle. I applied meat, tendon and dripping blood sculpted of Smooth-on 00 Platsil in place on what would be the stump end. I adhered the replica to the actress’ shoulder with two- part silicone adhesive (Skin-Tite) and Silibond which allowed the replica to be pulled away without damage to the actress, and applied more silicone blood which did not stain the actors, set or wardrobe.

The Umbrella Academy A Light Supper

Synopsis Allison gives Ray a peak at her powers, Dave visits Klaus's compound, the handler offers Five a deal, and the siblings meet their father for dinner. Technical Description We designed the concept art for new characters, The Swedes, as well as, fabrication of silicone and pros- aide appliances for scars and tattoos to complete the main cast look. Prosthetic pieces combined with dental appliances were created to highlight the extensive facial trauma and missing teeth for the Eliott character. An old-age make for Cameron Britton's character Hazel using stretch and stipple, alcohol-based paint and a hand-laid beard to enhance the time-period shifting that takes place throughout the season.

As Caitlin momentarily pauses her self-discovery journey and Danny fully commits to his, Richard’s insubordination reaches a breaking point, forcing Wilson to make a difficult decision.

Chest and abdomen (Extra): Actor’s template. Sculpted in flat with Monster Clay. Legs (Extra): Actor legs’ circumference template. Sculpted in flat with Monster Clay. I used flat silicone molds for all the prosthetics. These are all made of incapsulated silicone (Baldiez and Platsil 25) and I used instrinc pre-painting. Once applied on set, I used alcohol activated Skin Illustrator palettes (Complexion, 12 years slave, Necromania), powdered dirt and on-set real soil dust. Nick Dudman’s fake blood. I also used fake sweat gel mixed with oil paint for infection pus. Nose tip and legs were both enhanced in post-production without any green screen. End of Category
