Ben Nye Transparent powder. Then, we used the Illustrator palette and the Canon Collective gels and liquid to stain and paint his face and neck. Blue Marble spray sealed in the make-up. I used dry shampoo with a slight white shade by Klorane to take off the shine and give it a slight matt or dull effect. The hair was then slicked off his face to expose his temples, giving it a receding hairline using Gaf Quat. I used the hair illustrator with the colours of silver, white and yellow to draw on a grey hairline. Special contact lenses were designed for Charlie and Sienna, where the white of the eye was slightly yellowed with very fine red lines to make his pierc- ing blue eyes slightly on the milkier side. This made their eyes look older and tired as they aged. Sienna Miller's character, Nina Fawcett's style and look, had to vary from a Gibson 1900s hair style which I modernized from her 20s look of finger weaves. After numerous tests, Sienna's hair was changed to a strawberry-red tone. For her hair styles, we added some same tone switches, thus creating different styles and providing the illusion that her hair was very long. We changed her make- up and hair styles according to her costumes. We used Burberry make-up—especially the lip colour tones. A light-tinted moisturiser by Burberry for her skin tone created some English rose cheek stain by Tarte. For her ageing make-up, we used the same technique as Charlie's. Robert Pattison grew his beard for weeks before shooting, so we had a good length beard to work with. To show the transformation of his journey, his character, Henry Costin's beard, was darkened for scenes in England and lightened from the sun in the jungle, by reversing the colour and leaving Robert's natural tone. In climactic jungle scenes, Robert's character becomes infected by maggots— the wound worsens to an open cut, infected by maggots. Lois Mcintosh applied Pro Bond pieces and build it up with a 3D around his nostril line and just before camera would roll, we added live mag- gots. For his older look, grey hair was laid into his beard and temples and latex stipple around his eyes. Tom Holland had to play a boy of 13 and then a young man of 21 to 22. To achieve this for the younger look, we used his natural wave of his own hair and enhanced that wave with a curling activating product by Redken. For his older look, we wanted to make him look
