60 • THE ARTISAN WINTER 2025 were very vibrant and inspiring to the make-ups as well. We did a lot of pastel eyeshadow colors that matched the fabrics. e signature winged liner on the top lid, and off- white/cream on the bottom water line were carried through most of her looks. We kept the lips so when the eyes needed more of a moment with color story. We had some beautiful red and bright pink lip moments, accompanied with more of a sculpted nude eye for balance. I wanted her to be fresh, vibrant, playful and put together. She's a young businesswoman working in a man's world, so we wanted Ruby to reflect her caring, excited young spirit! We had many actors that came and went, working a day here and a day there. DONNA CICATELLI (KEY MAKE-UP ARTIST) I had the pleasure of working with and looking aer the incredible Jim Rash, Ray Romano, Donald Watkins, Christian Clemenson, Colin Woodell, Nick Dillenburg, Christian Zuber, as well as Lauren Revard. It's always so fun to work on a period show. Jim Rash, who played the director, had a distinct flamboyant look. Jim's mustache and beard had been shaved quaffed, groomed, and oiled every day, with a hint of color blended into his mustache. A natural clean corrective make- up finished his fresh look. Ray Romano played an unkept, overworked engineer. We kept Ray's facial hair just long enough to have a scruffy look. I knocked down his silver gray and added a natural salt-and- pepper look on his beard for the camera. Character make-up for Ray included so eyeliner and accents of depth under his eye to enhance eye bags and the nasolabial fold for a more fatigued look throughout the film. Donald Watkins as Stu, a super smart engineer, had scene where we added sweat. Christian, Colin and Nick played our three astronauts. ey all had a clean, natural make-up look throughout. For the close-up scenes where they li off, fly, and land on the moon, the astronauts were in helmets and NASA suits. Keeping them cool was a bit of a challenge due to the space suits that were direct replicas of the NASA suit worn in 1969. Lauren Revard played the secretary, a plain Jane clean classic beauty with natural make-up application. Other fun make-ups were the astronaut's wife and the party scenes with 1969 Florida glam-winged liner, bright fashionable eyeshadow and lipstick colors that were poplar in day. Fly Me to the Moon had contained a subplot spotlighting the Soviets space race. We shot three sequences with Nikita Khrushchev that would play throughout the movie, but sadly, this entire subplot was cut, and all that remains of this character is a still image featured during a montage at the beginning. Eugene Alper was cast as Nikita Khrushchev and
