THE ARTISAN SUMMER 2024• 25 MAKE-UP B Y R O B I N B E A U C H E S N E D E P A R T M E N T H E A D M A K E - U P / D E S I G N E R DEPARTMENT HEADING A PROJECT OF THIS NATURE, I knew this was going to be a huge undertaking that involved subject matter that required the utmost detail. We would be bringing make-up artistry to the highest level and take people back in time, replicating real life historical characters in 1865. Research was our focus moving forward. I knew I had to lock in a mass quantity of facial hair … calling in the troops. A big thank you to Zoe Hay, Ve Neill, Christien Tinsley, Eryn Krueger Mekash, Trefor Proud, as well as Ann-Maree Hurley, who skillfully made custom pieces for several of the main cast. Facial hair was very specific to each person. It also showed social standing and hierarchy. We were matching specific looks so lace pieces, hackled overlay hair of every color mixed and blended, Afro tech, and hand-laid hair were applied to every actor, including lace eyebrows. We wanted to showcase period facial hair, as it's a dying art. It was very important to establish the essence of Lincoln and without L-R: Lili Taylor as Mary Todd Lincoln; Hamish Linklater as Abraham Lincoln Continued on Page 28 Glenn Morshower as Andrew Johnson Anthony Boyle Tobias Menzies as Edwin Stanton Tobias Menzies before Glenn Morshower before PHOTOS COURTESY OF APPLE TV+ EXCEPT AS NOTED Robin Beauchesne with Boyle
