Photos by Melissa Yonkey would just break it up. Rule of thumb when I'm doing a breakdown is 20 BG to one make-up artist. We staggered the time as well, so that helped. Maybe you had 150 BG come in at one at one time, then you have another 100 BG coming in a second time. I just had waves of make-up people coming in at different times. I tried to approach the make-up like I do with every movie for Jim—he doesn't really want to see the make- up. With Christian and Matt, I had to weather them but he wants it to appear natural, how they would really look. When I started doing Christian's tan and his sunburn, I did in a way because he sunburns in a very odd way on his cheeks, very low. I looked at pictures of him when he was sunburned and I just created that look for him. But then the Ford brass, who are really numbers guys, was a very simple, natural corrective make-up. Except Lee Iacocca played by Jon Bernthal who wanted a little bit of a cleft chin because Lee Iacocca had one. And the Italians— Jim wanted Ferrari's gang to look very rich and very tan, but in that St. Tropez way. Caitriona Balfe, who plays Ken's wife Mollie—she's a driver's wife, she's not glamorous. We used a light base on her, very little eye make-up, a little cheek color and a bit of tint on her lips. Jim wanted her to look very natural, super clean, not overly done. • PRODUCTS On Caitriona, we used Armani foundation, MAC lip block out because she had too much color in her lips. We actually had to tone it down. On top was L'Oréal lip balm in mocha. Glo Skin Beauty mineral powder, Kevyn Aucoin black mascara and Stila convertible color in Petunia. For self-tanner, I used an Australian product called Loving Tan. I airbrushed all of that on, but they also have a foam, so I used both. Then I also use Vita Liberata, which is also another self-tanner, but it's a different color. I'm really into self-tanners and how the color develops on someone's skin. I really love the Loving Tan on Christian Bale. Then I used the Vita Liberata on Matt Damon. For Matt, I had to pull his color up. I used Glo Beauty mineral powder to even out his skin tone. After that, I went in with my Vita Liberata Mineral Bronzing Trystals and I went over the whole thing. His whole face, his neck, everywhere with that. Then after that, I took a moist beauty blender and I just pressed it into his skin and removed any excess Vita Liberata Trystal Minerals. Basically, it was a powder mineral to do my correction, then it was powder bronzing crystals for the color. Powder on powder, blending-wise, it comes out much more natural. It will last all day and it is waterproof. I always worry about period wardrobe and sweating and that process eliminated any concerns.
