Have you watched the season finale of TheDropout yet? Here, the show's head makeup artist shares how she recreated Elizabeth Holmes's signature look.
posed a totally unique challenge for Jorjee Douglass. The catch? She had to make it look like she didn’t know what she was doing. By now, Theranos founder and convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes’s perpetually smudged eyeliner, glopped-on mascara, and slightly askew red lipstick have all become the stuff of pop culture lore.
Douglass, along with her co-department head Gillian Whitlock, pored over photographs of Holmes from every era of her life, taking into consideration the cultural influences of where she was living and who she was hanging out with at the time, in an attempt to better understand the psychology behind how this very particular and intentional entrepreneur chose to make, or not make, herself up every day.
Elizabeth Holmes seems to have a very specific relationship with makeup, like she’s using it more as a tool. Somebody was hounding her forever and ever; her mom was always like, “You look better with makeup on, you look better with your hair lighter.” I think she ignored her all throughout college and high school and then, when she decided to finally use it, she was like, I’m not just going to use it as a tool, I’m using it as a weapon.Manic. A manic mask because you’re covering up the real you, the fear.I read it as either one of two things.
There is something almost aggressively feminine about that look. Was there a standout makeup moment for you in the series?. She is trying to spin gold out of this thing, and she knows she’s not giving this interviewer the truth, so that’s when I really peaked her manic makeup. I made one side of her lip lopsided because I saw in the interview that’s how it was.
