S3 | Ep. 11 AMSTERDAM'S incredible hair & makeup team talk period wig mania, Christian Bale's insane hair, Margot Robbie as a brunette, and Mike Myers' prosthetics!
In this episode, you will learn absolutely everything you want to know about the makeup and hair design in the film, Amsterdam. All the details behind Margot Robbie's beautiful looks and the effort put into the most perfect shade of brunette I've ever seen are broken down by Lori McCoy-Bell (hair department head), Oscar Winner, Adruitha Lee (hair co-department head), and Nana Fischer (makeup department head). We discuss Christian Bale, Taylor Swift, and Anya Taylor-Joy's many looks as well. Frequent collaborators with director David O. Russell, these women discuss their process, reveal their painstaking detail and we celebrate their successful jumps between periods. And hold your breath as you hear the story about re-envisioning Mike Myers' entire look on a moment's notice and working with Jason Collins to remain in line with the overall look of the film. It cannot be denied that these ladies executed impeccable work which I encourage you all to see upon its upcoming digital release.
