46 • THE ARTISAN FALL 2024 wig specialist Anna Williams (key hair). Previously, Frank and I worked together with Anna in Memphis on the 1950s series Sun Records. Preparing for working in a remote tourist town, where the nearest professional make-up supply store is four hours away, the nearest beauty supply and Target are 1½ hours away, and Amazon's quickest delivery is between 7 and 10 days, requires a lot of planning, improvising, drug store purchases, and relying on what you packed. Once on set, it was no different since the base was a bumpy 45 minutes away; we all needed to be prepared with emergency cra solutions, protective clothing for unpredictable weather, and ready to lend a helping hand if you have what someone else needed. is was the job that you brought everything to and probably ended up using it. At times, we had to return to our cra basics because there were no specialty FX houses to call on or wigmakers to rent from that could get you what you needed fast enough. e heat melted everything, and three months later, the cold froze it. I relied on store-bought box color to dye wigs, L'Oreal brown and black root spray to cover funky hair streaks on BG, and L'Oreal colorista Silver Spray is still my favorite for graying hair. Luckily, the local stores carried the La Roche-Posey Sunblock that key make-up Shalyse needed to protect all her fair-skinned ladies and Francisco's Neutrogena Spray SPF 70 for all his make-up applications, not just for the SPF but as a thinner for foundation without compromising the color. Shalyse found she pulled out her tried-and-true MAC face and body foundations to withstand the elements and give her the translucent light coverage she needed for natural no make-up looks. When the bright, clean, and pink flesh-colored dummies showed up to be used for the burnt settlers, Francisco used the old-school technique for burns: liquid Latex, tissue paper, and color. I torched the old cheap synthetic wigs I always thought I should hold onto. Finally, they had a purpose! We were all "MacGyvers" at some point, or like the pioneers in our film, we had to come up with solutions with what we had access to. Finding the character looks and researching the period for Horizon started with extensive Google searches and collecting reference books. Francisco has done a fair share of Westerns with Kevin. ey know that creating a realistic natural ruggedness is critical to keeping the audience believing the characters live in the world we are putting them into. e looks needed to reflect and be affected by their environment.
