Getting All Dolled Up!


Hello readers! Fiona here again, and this time I'll be telling you guys about the hair and make up for this show!

So I talked to one of the heads of hair and make up, Aubrey, and she told me about the struggles the make up team faced when they began planning the actors looks.

"We had to keep the hairstyles time period, which was especially difficult for Karin's character, since she's a prostitute we had to make her hairstyle messy but also appropriate to the era."

One of the actresses even had to cut her hair to obtain the hairstyle that the make up team envisioned.


This is the hairstyle the team is creating for the main character, it's also the hair style that required a haircut!

Here is another early 20th century hairstyle that inspired the hair and make up team, most of the female hair styles will be based on these curls and short style.


Boys require a whole different kind of hair and make up too!

         "We had to incorporate facial hair into the process, which is something I'd never done before" Aubrey tells me," We learned how to make stubble for one of the actors, and we even had to order a mustache! Also a few of the characters wear hats, which doesn't seem like it would be a big deal, but we don't want to create and elaborate hair style just to be ruined by a hat, so we had to take those into accounts too!"

Come and see all the glamorous hair and make up in the show on May first through the third!
