42 • THEARTISAN SPRING 2022 exaggerated to the outward corner of her lips. Blocking the cupid bow gave a straight elongated lip line. MIRA SORVINO/MARCIA LEWIS MAKE-UP | ANGELA MOSS Monica's mother, Marcia Lewis, was known to be complex in her own flashy style and glamor. Using '90s dramatic eyeshadow colors and stylizing the outer crease of the eye in darker shades was her signature. Mira's eyebrows had a defined shape that was filled in and darkened. Eyelashes, a red lip, and nails added to her sophistication. COBIE SMULDERS/ANN COULTER MAKE-UP | ERIN LEBRE Ann has a downward eye shape. Individual lashes were applied, but cheated at a downward angle at the corner of the eyes to reshape Cobie's eye. An overall soft and simple design included eyeliner, a touch of bronzer and pink tone lip. BLAIR UNDERWOOD/VERNON JORDAN MAKE-UP | ROBIN BEAUCHESNE & KARRIEANN SILLAY Vernon Jordan was in his late sixties during the Clinton administration. He was bald from the forehead to the middle of his head. Blair shaved his hairline to match his likeness. Using age stretch and stipple around his eyes and forehead gave the textured look to his skin. Blocking out his own eyebrows made them sparse and thin, creating the correct shape. Using a dark illustrator palette, dark tones were applied around his eyes, and on his cheekbones to create a sallow effect. Cheeks were highlighted and marbled together, creating the final aging look. FRED MELAMED/BILL GINSBURG MAKE-UP | ROBIN BEAUCHESNE Ginsburg was Monica's lawyer. He had a distinct beard with salt-and-pepper color tones. Making a custom lace beard was a time issue so a hand-laid beard was the solution. Loose facial hair was hackled and blended. The daily challenge was hand-laying hair to create his full beard. After hair application, it was cut down and styled. BACKGROUND SUPERVISOR VANESSA DIONNE Over 200 background actors worked as Pentagon and White House employees. BG participated in the Inaugural Ball, Paula Jones' deposition, and Monica's trial. These scenes were recreated to mirror the real-life events. Keeping with strict COVID protocols, lip bags were provided to the women who reapplied color as needed. A big thank you to all the make-up artists who worked on the show! A special thanks to Ryan Murphy, Brad Simpson, Alexis Woodall, Eric Kovtun, Sarah Paulson, Beanie Feldstein, and Louise Shore for your support and this amazing opportunity. • Hampton was also working on Sarah Paulson's application with Kelly Golden, I would step in to cover days with multiple units, as I was the only other artist who had applied the established look. Chris and Thom got the application time down to about 1:15 mins all in before going to Suzy for the wig. His total process was around 2.5 hours between all departments, and around 30 to get him out at the end of the day. After nearly two years from our initial meeting, we wrapped filming in August of 2021. This was probably one of the most intense projects any of us had ever been a part of. Intense because of the level of detail and perfectionism created by the whole production to ensure the quality of the content and esthetics of the show, but equally as intense undertaking it all for nearly a year straight during a global pandemic. The pressure was high, but I feel everyone involved pushed their craft to create their best work possible, all while dealing with intense working conditions. To say I am honored to have been a part of this team is an understatement. All these artists are true warriors who fought through their own personal battles, a pandemic, PPE, and many personal sacrifices to still bring forth their very best. I am beyond proud to have been a part of this amazing character design collaboration. • THE MAKE-UP Continued from page 41
