| In the mornings I applied cold Nourish My Eyes Cucumber Pads to Mitchell’s lids while she was getting her hair prepped. Next I applied Revive Tonique Preparatif with Koh Gen Do cotton pads, followed by Sensai Cellular Performance Lotion II (Moist), Revive Eye Renewal Cream and La Mer The Eye Concentrate. I also used Jurlique Blemish Cream, arnica and calendula cream as needed, along with Crème de la Mer, La Mer Body Lotion and La Mer Hand Treatment and La Mer Refining Facial. For clean-up, I relied on Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water, Revive Cleanser Crème Luxe or Jurlique Soothing Cleansing Lotion with the Clarisonic Brush Plus, followed by steamed lavender towels. Skin was hydrated with Sensai lotions and Jurlique Chamomile Soothing Mist or Rosewater Balancing Mist. |

| Additional Information |
| "A natural beauty make-up is challenging, because you can’t hide much with it. It has to be blended and the colors must be just right. I rely heavily on highlight and shadow, matte and shine and colors natural to the actor’s own skin to achieve my results. With Mitchell, I enhanced her natural beauty by giving her a defined, radiant look. I presented a timeline to the director with the progress of her injuries throughout the movie. She was to start off natural, then gather injuries from a car-window break, a fight with deranged people and finally, a big-rig accident. All the while, we wanted to show her character as strong; although she was dirty, messy and bloody, her strength and beauty needed to show. The challenge was to keep her skin looking the same no matter what the temperature or humidity were. We were filming in Georgia and Iowa from winter to spring. For Mitchell’s injuries I used Skin Illustrator gels and dirt, as I wanted to use water-based products on her skin. Jay Wejebe made her transfer cuts. To show the change in her character when she’s distressed I used Urban Decay shadows on her eyelids, darkening the lids with a little red, blue and purple from the Illustrator gels–sort of a smoky-eye look. She was kept matte for her natural beauty look and dewy during the character work." |
