How was the image of Margot Robbie created in the movie “Babylon”?

Date: March 29, 2024 Time: 21:53:40

Babylon is a loud, colorful and chaotic film from Damien Chazelle, director of La La Land and Obsession. The history of Hollywood in the 1920s: sound replaces silent films, stars fade, the powers that be throw crazy parties with elephants, champagne and nude dancing until the early hours. Starring Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Diego Calva. In episodes: Tobey Maguire, Olivia Wilde, Phoebe Tonkin, Li Jun Li, and Kaia Gerber. We tell how the make-up artists worked on the images.

MAKEUP ARTISTS: WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKEUP AND STYLING

The makeup is the work of the Icelandic Heba Forisdottir, a very famous makeup artist in Hollywood. Her portfolio includes nearly all of Tarantino’s movies, from Kill Bill to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to Inglourious Basterds, as well as Marvel movies (like Black Widow and The Amazing Spider-Man) and recent directorial work by Olivia Wilde. Don’t worry, dear” (we wrote about her here).

Jamie Lee Mackintosh was responsible for the style: he worked on the sites of the films Black Panther, Top Gun: Maverick, Oppenheimer and Blonde (it was Jamie Lee who painstakingly selected the wigs to turn Ana de Armas into Marilyn Monroe).

Interestingly, the director set an interesting task for the team: yes, the film tells about the twenties, but make-up and styling should not copy that era, and images in the spirit of The Great Gatsby. Clichés in the form of tight curls and eyebrow-threads were strictly prohibited. For example, costume designer Mary Zofris mixed Studio 54-inspired details with flea market pieces like a 1920s top hat and Etsy platform. In the center of the plot are living people who are only striving for fame, but do not yet possess it or money. That is why they look different: the skin is shiny from sweat, the hair is disheveled from the dust of the Californian deserts, and an expensive evening dress replaces a scarlet scarf.

MAKEUP

The actress was prohibited from correcting her eyebrows; it is unlikely that Nelly had pincers. But she would definitely have lipstick: several shades were used for the lips: Charlotte Tilbury’s Scarlet Spell, Smashbox’s Bawse, Sunnies Face’s Fluffmate matte.

HAIR

In “Babylon” everything is somewhat different: if the bean is disheveled, then with fluffy strands. Margot Robbie’s heroine walks around with lushly whipped textured curls for almost the entire film. They are not reminiscent of the silent film era, but of the 70s, of rock and roll, of Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin. The effect was achieved using a special wig, which was styled with several sprays at once: Wave by Ouai, Extra Firm Control Unscented Tres Two Hair Spray by Tresemmé and Style Shine Mist by René Furterer.

ANOTHER LOOK

For the charismatic heroine Li Jun Li, a make-up based on archival footage of Japanese kabuki theater was developed: double arrows, smooth buns, wine lipstick. Heba spoke about this in an interview with Allure.

Together they decided to dye their hair a bit darker, to make Pitt look more like a 20th-century Hollywood movie star. The strands had to remain mobile, slightly disheveled, so they were laid not with the help of gels and wax, but with jojoba oil from the Australian brand The Jojoba Company. A little oil was applied to wet strands, combed through and allowed to dry naturally. That’s the whole secret.

Heba was inspired by his appearance in the 1971 film Death in Venice. Maguire himself insisted that his character’s face be painted dead white. The film crew was given strict instructions not to take close-ups of Toby’s face until he smiled. And if you’ve seen the movie, you’ll understand why.
