Despite the film's many controversies, there's no denying the talent — and massive undertaking — of the beauty teams who re-created the iconic signatures with which we're all so familiar:
Because the film portrays the life of Monroe from early on through the end of her life at 36 years old, Kerwin needed to authentically age de Armas to look the part. She would stretch de Armas's skin, apply the Bluebird liquid and release her skin after it dried. This created the subtle wrinkles and freckles in the film that feel natural and realistic.Only three blonde wigs were used throughout the entire film when showing Marilyn Monroe.
There would be shots where Monroe's hair would be far shorter than any wig available, but McIntosh says she wouldn't want to pin up the hair to make it look like a helmet and lose movement. McIntosh and the rest of the hair team also faced an unexpected challenge with the wigs: the scalp problem. A blonde wig placed over de Armas' dark brown hair would look foolishly obvious. An epiphany came when McIntosh decided to use prosthetics to form a partial bald cap that served as an artificial — but natural-looking — scalp atop de Armas' actual scalp. This way, McIntosh could apply the blonde wigs and nail the appearance of Monroe's hair, down to her widow's peak.
