58 • THE ARTISAN WINTER 2025 DEBORAH LA MIA DENAVER DEPARTMENT HEAD MAKE-UP In the late 1960s I was young, but I do remember all the hubbub about this story: the exploration of space! So, I was very excited when Scarlett Johansson asked me to do this film, and even more excited to be the department head, working to create a fun and fabulous look for the film. Aer being in the industry for over 45 years, this film is in my Top 10 that I have worked on, mostly it takes a huge team of professionals to make a period piece work. We were blessed with all the right people who took their job very seriously and gave it their all! Many thanks to both the hair and make-up artists that joined us. It's always a special time when I get to work with Scarlett and watch as she brings her characters to life. As a team, we combined all our research with costumes, hair, make-up and of course, our director's thoughts on the project. ere was a lot of real research out there, so a lot of little things for us to take into consideration and to keep it true to the period. Kelly Jones (Scarlett) had over 28 different changes in FLY ME TO THE MOON THE MAKE-UP AND HAIR STYLING TEAMS EXPLORE THE HISTORY OF SPACE TRAVEL the film, which gave both make-up and hair some challenges creating the period looks. Being on the cutting edge of 1969 and at the top of her game in advertising, she had to look on point—and fabulous—in every scene! We started with skin prep and then moved into a light corrective, staying with as close as we could to period-correct products. I always seem to jump around with many different foundations, blending and mixing to find that perfect balance for the proper finish for the period. Using matte eyeshadows, eye liners, lashes and a large array of lip colors, we always had a play date to coordinate with every outfit and to keep up with the fantastic costumes. is included many different changes, a few times a day everyday of filming! MAZENA PUKSTO CO-DEPARTMENT HEAD MAKE-UP Ruby, played by Anna Garcia, had a lot of screen time alongside Kelly Jones, so she had 24 looks in the film. It was fun playing around with all the colors, patterns and textures of the era. I pulled most of my color references for Ruby from old fashion magazines. Ruby's clothes ALL PHOTOS COURTESY OF APPLE
