The race permit
The Best makeup and hairstyle nominees are “Another man,” “Emilia Pérez,” “Nosferatu,” “The subject,” and “Evil.” The emphasis on horror (“The Substance”, “Another Man”, “Nosferatu”) is unusual, with the best image nominated “The Substance” as the prosthesis is the key to Demi Moore’s Oscar-nominated performance.
Oscar-nominated director Coralie Fargeat’s “The Substance” is a brilliant satire of toxic beauty culture, where 50-year-old TV-Aerobics star Elisabeth (Moore) turns into wonderful 20-something Sue (Margaret Qualley). But the youth’s miracle pub turns to body horror, where Elisabeth becomes the decayed mutation called Gollum and both develop into the horrible monstro. Prosthetics makeup designer Pierre-Olivier Persin (nominated together with Stéphanie Guillon and Marilyne Scarselli) used the work to look like a slow progress disease. He deepened Moore’s upper body into thin silicone prostheses and then applied thicker appliances to build up some of the legs, knuckles, knees and elbow. In the end, for the mashup, he just got crazy with the dentures.
Jon M. Chu’s “Wicked” tells the history of origin to Elphaba/The Wicked Witch (Oscar-nominated Cynthia Erivo) and Galinda/Glinda the good witches (Oscar-nominated Ariana Grande). Makeup/Hair team by Frances Hannon, Laura Blount and Sarah Nuth were commissioned to create makeup and hair that can withstand singing, dance, flight and 14-hour shooting days. The thorough transformations for Elphaba and Glinda took over two hours, preceded by a thorough test process to create the perfect green shade for Erivo’s skin tone to ensure that the product looked good in all lighting.
“Another man,” the black comedy from Aaron Schimberg, plays Sebastian Stan as a future actor who undergoes experimental facial reconstructive surgery to cure his neurofibromatos (NF). After his surgery, he tries to land a part of a game based on his former self carrying a mask but loses to the charismatic Adam Pearson (a British actor with NF). Oscar-nominated prosthesis makeup designer Mike Marino (nominated with David Presto and Crystal Jurado) created several layers with realistic details to emulate the appearance of NF, with Pearson as a visual connection.
“Nosferatu,” director Robert Eggers vampire film, focused on making Bill Skarsgård’s 400-year-old Count Orlok looks as genuine as possible behind his exhausted corpse. Prosthetic designer David White (nominated with Traci Loader and Suzanne Stokes Munton) sculpted the body, leg and muscles and broke them into sections and then threw them individually. This was eventually divided into full body work with 60 individual prosthesis pieces.
“Emilia Pérez,” the best Bildn-nominated musical crime thriller from Jacques Audiard, transformed the brutal Mexican cartel leader manitas into the titular beauty after gender confirmation (both played by Oscar-nominated Karla Sofía Gascón). The makeup team by Julia Floch Carbonel, Emmanuel Janvier and Jean-Christophe Spadaccini gave Gascón a weather-backed appearance (while she still revealed her feminine side), with long dark hair, a beard, thin eyebrows, metal teeth and facials and body tattoos.
