52 • THE ARTISAN FALL 2024 Anna using Layrite Natural Matte Cream and shaving cream. e purpose of these products was to add an element of matted and unkempt texture while keeping it stringy. Keeping the front hairline pushed toward the face allowed the hair to move into the eyes, adding to the character's sinister disposition. Make-up artist Shirell wanted to enhance Jamie's look subtly enough to match how gnarly Caleb Sykes is. She dirtied him just enough to show he's a rough guy who's not afraid to "get his hands dirty." Jamie's teeth were made to look stained, his under eyes a little darker, and popping in some pink eye pencil in his waterline to make his eyes look a little more intense and kind of sickly. Junior Sykes (Jon Beavers) was styled with oil, keeping his style greasy and simple for ease of taking their hats on and off. His make-up varied with his environment, depending on the color of the dirt that would have covered from traveling by horseback. Owen Kittredge (Will Patton) had a custom toupee for his character. Since we couldn't dye his hair to match it, we airbrushed Temptu's hair colors in natural red and auburn tones to blend with the hairpiece. His facial hair had to be made warmer with illustrator pallets to match a natural redhead. THE BACKGROUND e background on any period piece is so important and oen takes the most work to get ready in the shortest amount of time. Some Horizon backgrounds were locals, but most came from all over Utah and nearby states. ey became our friends, some were our friends, and we got to know each other well. ey endured the same elements as the crew and in period clothing. ere was no hierarchy; we were all living in a Western. Our stylists and artists had to work quickly to cover their tattoos and hide their modern hair colors. e hair stylists working with the background did an excellent job styling hair for both pre-attack and post-attack at the Horizon settlement. e settlers' hair was nicely quaffed in "prairie hair" styles for the dance (pre-attack) and then had to dishevel those same styles to show post-attack, creating realistically broken-down looks from what was previously put together and matching that across several days. For many stylists, it was their first time doing hair for this period, and by the end of the show, it was second nature. ey were provided with an array of hairpieces and wigs for quick buns, braids, and solutions to camouflage modern hair. Hair stylists Stacey, Nicole, and Brittany worked together to maintain a well-documented continuity of the background looks, hair accessories, and pieces for the entirety of the film. We used several synced iPads to hold all the hair photos. e background couldn't always get the same stylist, so we all depended on the detailed continuity photos. I'm truly grateful for the hair team's hard work and commitment. • (L-R) Isabelle Fuhrman (Diamond Kittredge), Will Patton (Owen Kittredge), Hallie Purser (Evie Kittredge), and Naomie Winders (Martha Kittredge) Dept.
