“Euphoria” makeup artist and assistant department head Tara Lang Shah carefully applied and painted the prosthetics onto Elordi’s face. It’s all fake hair punched into the silicone.” “Also fun fact about that, the whole left eyebrow is completely fake. “A lot of prosthetics were involved,” said Davy, adding that her team outsourced and collaborated with effects artist Vincent Van Dyke. In Episode 2, viewers see Nate’s face - which is left extremely bloody, bruised and swollen. Nate’s Face After Fezco Beats Him (S2 E2)Īt the end of episode one’s New Year’s Eve party, Fezco (Angus Cloud) beats Nate in retaliation for blackmailing Jules and Rue, threatening his drug-dealing business and putting his livelihood on the line. And we just went with that because… she knows her character better than everyone else.” “I just died for how that looked on screen - and her profile she’s banging on the door.”ĭavy added that Demie “had her own vision for makeup this season. At one point, I wanted it to go into her hairline - but then I was like, ‘That’s too much, let’s hang out right on the edge of almost two much,’” said Davy. “I wanted to see how long we could make that wing without it looking ridiculous. Maddy’s New Year’s Eve Long Wings (S2 E1)Īlso at the New Year’s Eve party, Maddy sports a signature wing - which is especially stunning thanks to its bold length. So that was the perfect example of a bold look that is not even really that bold - small shapes can have a great impact.” “It wasn’t some big, crazy, transformative look. I was like, ‘Oh, this look weirdly is suiting this moment,’” said Davy. “Those dark shapes draw you into her gaze… It kind of scared me. The look strongly contrasts to the colorful shades and playful shapes (including hand-drawn clouds) that Jules used in Season 1. Jules wears striking black makeup on the insides of her eyes - with small, graphic shapes reaching towards her nose. Season 2 of “Euphoria” begins with a climactic New Year’s Eve party. When reflecting on Season 2’s makeup, Davy also shared some of her favorite looks with Variety. “That collides with a sort of glam of ‘Euphoria’… my ideal combo.” There’s a lot of special effects and character works: scars, tattoos, cuts, bruises, heroin track marks, the fake arm that the morphine needle went into… fake penises,” she said. But much of that we do on ‘Euphoria,’ too. “In those past projects, the makeup has to remain invisible and be like an undetectable part of the story. Davy, who has worked on a range of projects including “The Underground Railroad,” “Under the Silver Lake” and “Moonlight,” noted that “Euphoria” allowed her team to blend very vocal makeup with “invisible” work. Not all of the makeup on “Euphoria” is used for glam. Kat (Barbie Ferreira) is “still new to makeup… so she’s still trying on different looks in my mind,” said Davy - all of which contrast to characters like Rue (Zendaya), who has almost “no ‘beauty’ moments” in Season 2.
Maddy’s (Alexa Demie) looks, for example, are focused on “structure - like wings structure, less bells and whistles” with room for color while the makeup for Jules (Hunter Schafer) “got less feminine this season” and Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) is “easily influenced” by the people around her (notably Maddy and Jacob Elordi’s Nate). Still, there are some overarching trends.
You can do smaller details, and create something bold and something expressive without seeing it from a mile away.”Īs all of “Euphoria’s” characters evolve throughout the series, Davy stresses that the makeup department tries “not be too prescriptive” in terms of constructing signature styles for each individual. Part of me wanted to, because people were loving that, but… broadly across this show, there were stylistic, aesthetic changes and shifts,” Davy told Variety. “I think the main point, in a one-liner, of Season 2 makeup is to showcase that… a bold makeup look doesn’t have to be a huge look. “I didn’t want to continue with the exact same MO as Season 1. While Season 1 featured faces adorned with endless rhinestones, glitter and more, Davy notes that Season 2 stepped into a quieter (but equally-stunning) approach. Season 2’s makeup on “ Euphoria” is “Season 1’s introverted sister,” explains the show’s lead makeup designer Doniella Davy.Īs “Euphoria” fans everywhere gather to watch the latest chapters of Sam Levinson’s gripping fever dream on HBO Max (leading up to the Season 2 finale on Sunday), they are mesmerized by the both glam and gritty special effects seen in the world of East Highland.
