Nicolas Cage is unrecognizable as the title character in the horror movieLonglegs.
There was about four designs, Fox said.
What they settled on after we tested on was that we would go a little bit more extreme.
The final Longlegs pays homage to Lon Chaneys Phantom of the Opera, she said.
Furthermore, they had to age Longlegs from the 1970s to the 90s.
He has two looks for it, Fox continued.
Rock stars also provided inspiration for Longlegs.
Personally, Marc Bolan from T. Rex.
There were actually a lot of musician references going on in our minds.
And geisha as well.
The whole ritualistic reparation of the geisha experience and makeup was huge.
Chaar also did hair for the female character.
Alicia Witt plays Ruth Harker, aged up in the 90s scenes.
She built Witts hair from a 24-inch colorless wig.
Her earlier look came from a TV comedy.
I did draw a lot of inspiration from Kitty fromThat 70s Showto really signify the 70s, Chaar said.
Hair did play a big part in the 70s.
Key makeup artist Madelaine Hermans applied the aging makeup to Witt.
We would do some special effects to create the wrinkles and make everything dull, Hermans said.
There was a lot of powder.
Maika Monroe, playing Ruths daughter, FBI agent Lee Harker, needed very little enhancement by Harmans.
Maika has amazing skin already and beautiful eyebrows and eyelashes, Harmans said.
We were really focusing on skincare again and no coverage, very light coverage, no concealer.
We wanted to be able to see some of the darker color under her eyes.
I dont even think I put mascara on her.
She got her eyelashes tinted and we were like, Thats perfect.
