Beauty Screener
Ivana Primorac spills behind-the-scenes details.
By now, even people who live under a rock have heard about the release of Greta GerwigsBarbiemovie.
I have a huge library of books on Barbies now, says Primorac.
Mattelwas incredible with giving us access to the vintage library and all the material.
Her goal was to stay true to the dolls details while adding amodern spin.
The costumes were the same, she says.
So how did the final hair and makeup looks get selected?
It was an idea that developed as we were prepping.
To be honest, I was completely horrified because its a difficult look to pull off.
Luckily, Margot was so totally up for it and pulled it off.
Transforming Margot Robbie
Shes wearing wigs and hair pieces throughout.
We created about 18 wigs and 23 hair pieces altogether.
We had to mix and match.
What was hard was the sheer volume of hair that has to be the nicest,bestquality possible.
Those were the things that were technically hard to figure out how to do.
Thats why we have such sheer volume of different hair.
Very quickly, we realized that there is no formula.
Everything had to be super finished to make them into the best version of themselves.
That was great fun but a huge amount of work.
The people are so stylish and so amazing looking.
How do you make someone with blonde hair stand out with clothes?
In the end, it was fun.
