It was crucial, albeit a little challenging, to make sure that Anderson’s facial structure matched James’.
In order to accurately recreate the 54-year-old actress’ appearance, makeup department head David Williams told Harper’s Bazaar in an interview on Tuesday, February 1, that a prosthetic forehead was needed to “widen the distance between James’ brows and hairline.”
The 33-year-old star’s eyebrows had to be thin, arched, and flawless without actually having her thick brows plucked.
The answer? On the artificial forehead, lace eyebrows were added. Williams told Harper’s Bazaar, “We went through about 65 to 70 foreheads throughout shooting.”
Did Lily James wear a wig?
Well, each and every day required over four hours in the makeup chair, along with a selection of wigs, prosthetics, and even fake eyebrows.
What is Lily James natural hair?
She has naturally brown hair. Although Lily’s hair is naturally brown, she dyed it blonde for her Downton Abbey role, and those blonde tresses helped her stand out during a Cinderella audition.
