Look Behind The Look

#BLONDEonNetflix #marilynmonroe #blonde

Netflix’s highly-anticipated Blonde documents the life of one of the most famous faces to ever grace the silver screen, but the real beauty of this film is the work behind the scenes. Hair Designer and Hair Department Head Jaime Leigh McIntosh and Makeup Artist, Makeup Department Head and Personal Makeup Artist to Ana de Armas, Tina Roesler Kerwin give us a look behind Marilyn’s most iconic looks, filming in her orphanage and home, and how intentional, subtle changes to Ana’s look could make or break the illusion of Marilyn. We also dive into the challenges on set, a possible Marilyn haunting, and coordinating hair and makeup with the costume team for the most authentic looks possible. Plus, stay tuned until the end to get Tina’s best-kept Hollywood makeup and skincare secret!
