26 • THE ARTISAN WINTER 2022 overall look of our make-up and hair in Dune is precise and natural when required, yet has period-inspired and stylized elements, along with many character, theatrical, aging and prosthetic make-ups. We had many suppliers from RBFX (foam brow covers, bald caps), Love Larson (tattoos for Zendaya, Javier Bardem, Sardaukur army, Freman and Josh Brolin's pro brondo facial scar). Local 706 member Steve Prouty did our rst make-up test for David Dastmalchian as Piter using a full silicone bald cap he custom made with brow and sideburn covers. Once approved via Face Time (our director deeply loved the test make-up), David came to location to shoot for approxi- mately ve days while Rocky Faulkner meticulously applied this intricate make-up on David. e dark purple mentat tattoo on both David Dastmalchian and Stephen Henderson took time to work out—I went through a few presentations for the director. I felt it had to be a tattoo transfer in a dark wine or blackberry shade. On that note, it never ceases to amaze me that many of the little things and subtle touches we as artists create are so challenging to accomplish. Special thanks to Local 706 member Todd Masters (silicone bald caps), Kentaro Yano (Rebecca Ferguson full-face Freman tattoos), Kristy Staky (wigs and facial hair), as well as wig makers Peter Owen, Alex Rouse, Stacey Butterworth, Sarah Weatherburn (facial hair makers), and Charlotte Lewis from Paul Edmonds Salon London who did color touch up on Rebecca Ferguson's hair every 4-6 weeks. My responsibilities included overseeing the scheduling and travel of make-up, hair, and prosthetics crew, ordering specialty prosthet- ics and wigs. My day-to-day duties included overseeing the principal cast while personally making up Timothee Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Dave Bautista, Javier Bardem, Chen Chang, Josh Brolin and the odd-day player when shorthanded. Jo-Ann MacNeil dili- gently maintained our detailed hair and make-up continuity notes/ photos and did make-up for lead cast Oscar Isaac, Zendaya, and Sharon Duncan-Brewster. Rocky looked aer Stephen Henderson, various day players, most of the brow covers and scars for cast, along with printing tattoos and relling existing moulds. Cheryl looked aer Timm's hair (which does really have a life of its own), Rebecca's hair to slightly age her to contrast with a youthful, wild desert look, maintained continuity trims on Josh's short buzz cut and styling and grooming of Oscar's hair and epic beard. We tag-teamed and processed our phenomenal all-star cast quickly and eciently, which is a must on this type of project … and we loved every minute of it! We prepared a look book for every character, along with This page: Mowat applies make-up to Ferguson; Ferguson with Chalamet Continued on page 29
