36 • THE ARTISAN SPRING 2023 Barbie's eyes with neutral colors, Jennifer created a light smoky effect using Dior Backstage Eye Palette in "Warm Neutrals" and Hourglass Gel Eyeliner on the rim of her water line. She used Gucci Bronzer in "Light" as a blush and for her lips a Fresh Sugar Lip Balm. To finish the look, we added a septum nose ring. There were a lot of small out-of-kit FX that were done on the cast, including bruising, cuts, scratches, gashes and so much more. We used everything from bondo transfers to hand painting, to building with 3rd degree. We had three major special effects make-up and denture appliances on the production. Writer-director Jordan Peele, make- up prosthetics designer Vincent Van Dyke, and myself had a few special meetings about two characters: Otis Haywood Sr. (Keith David) and Mary Jo Elliott (Sophia Coto). We tossed ideas around about how we wanted Otis' eye injury to look. We knew that the injuries of Mary Jo's character had to look healed from a chimpanzee attack 20 years before. Sophia portrayed Mary Jo in the film from ages 15 to 35 years old, so we had to age her appropriately while keeping the injuries in mind. In addition for Terry Notary, who played the chimpanzee Gordy via motion capture, Vincent created a chimp-like denture to wear. • Daniel Kaluuya and Palmer Keke Palmer Keith David as Otis Sr.
