A photo shoot for the stills of Marilyn Monroe that would feature throughout Andrew Dominik’s “Blonde,” coming to Netflix Thursday, was essential to the hair and makeup team in transforming Ana de …
Jaime Leigh McIntosh, hair department head and makeup department head Tina Roesler Kerwin spent two and a half hours each morning applying hair and makeup to de Armas.
It all began with a silicone cap, as opposed to a regular bald cap. De Armas’ hair was dark and thick, so it needed to be completely hidden, and a regular cap would not work due to the number of changes the actress would sit through in a day. First, a stocking cap was placed over the actress’ head and the silicone pieces were applied. Says Kerwin, “We needed something sturdy that could hold up with the gluing and ungluing of wigs.”De Armas sported blue contact lenses for the film, and for perfecting the eye shape, Kerwin used false eyelashes on the corner of the actress’ eyelids. “It changed the eye shape,” Kerwin explains.
Admittedly for that look, McIntosh says she didn’t have the right wig, “Her hair is shorter in that film, and the one I had wasn’t short enough, so I had to curl it a bit tighter and pin it in places to cheat the shape.” She adds, “It does not match, but it’s as close as I could get with what I had to work with and still have some movement.”
