That s because the beauty team behind Netflix s record-breaking hit relied on Dr. Pawpaw s Original Balm to keep the cast s lips looking healthy and kissable.
The show s head hair and makeup designer, Marc Pilcher revealed that he used the multipurpose balm, which retails for only $8.50 on Amazon, on every single cast member the Duke of Hastings included. Dr. Pawpaw was a staple product in most of our cast bags, even the men, he told
Glamour. It provided everyone with protection against the elements when we filmed during the winter and on night shoots. It was great for use on this period drama as we needed most of our cast to look natural and fresh and have beautiful lips in a natural way.
Looking to fill the chessboard-sized hole that
The Queenâs Gambit left in your life? Chris Van Dusenâs new Netflix show
Bridgerton is just the fix you need right now. Adapted from Julia Quinnâs bestselling novels and produced by Shonda Rhimes, this Regency romp follows Daphne Bridgerton (played by Phoebe Dynevor) and her fellow debutantes as they make their social debuts.
An eight-part series,
Bridgerton is a story about love, marriage, rivalry, gossip and class, one that defies the confines of its genre with queer plotlines and diverse casting. Itâs also a visual feast, in no small part due to the opulent (almost to the point of camp) costumes and flamboyant wigs, with each character dripping in pearls, feathers and crystals.
When it comes to
Bridgerton, there is plenty to be obsessed with. From the Duke’s sultry presence to the Queen’s wigs, a lot of things have raised eyebrows. And on that note, none more so than the incredible makeup and elaborate hairstyles of the cast. With rumours of a second series on the cards, we talk to the dream team behind the on-set grooming, responsible for everything from the high-impact embellished hairdos to the rosy, glowing skin.
Fans of the Netflix drama will know that all appearances must be upheld for society. So, without the fabulous hair and makeup looks, the drama would surely have been a flop. Here, hair and makeup designer Marc Pilcher and hair and makeup supervisor, Lynda Pearce, share the beauty secrets of the stars, their experiences working on set and why the higher the hair, the more eligible the heir.
