Each tattoo had a lot of meaning to Sara, so a lot of work and planning went into every step! For their natural-skin look, Lauzanne Nel’s go-to favorites were Dior Airflash Foundation and NARS Radiant Creamy Color Corrector in Medium topped with Dior Backstage Face and Body Powder. Sara was very involved in designing them, and we worked together to figure out the placement for each of them. They also have several custom-made tattoos that we used every day. And, finally, Che Diaz, played by Sara Ramirez.Ĭhe’s look was very natural. Her lips were tinted with Charlotte Tilbury Tinted Love lip and cheek stains. We also used Tom Ford Eyeshadow Quad in Cognac Rose and Tom Ford Sheer Cheek Duo in Lissome for that flushed glow. Her going-out looks with her husband were fun for Bridget Ritzinger, because she got to do a little more lip and eye! Bridget used Fenty foundation, Charlotte Tilbury Bronzer, and Pat McGrath concealer to accent her amazing skin.

Her makeup is definitely all about the skin and making sure it looks as if she isn’t wearing makeup. She is a professor and has a bohemian style. Karen is supposed to be a more earthy, natural, beautiful woman. It depends on the day! Outside of the three personal makeup artists, we would have anywhere from two to 20 makeup artists at a time. The makeup always evolves over a period of time, and it’s fun to collaborate with the actors as well. I am also involved when it comes to special looks on a character. I am heavily involved in the beginning, and then the artists take it from there. I thought a lot about each character and the actors themselves, like Nicole Ari Parker, Sarita Choudhury, Sara Ramirez, and Karen Pittman, on who would be a good fit as their makeup artist. I don’t have much to do with their looks, because their artists discuss that with them personally. Sarah Jessica Parker's personal makeup artist is Elaine Offers Woulard Cynthia Nixon's is Kerrie Plant-Price and Kristin Davis's is Matin Maulawizada-they have done their makeup for years. I have complete trust in all of them to bring to life the vision of each character. I have incredible teams that work with me, like my key makeup artist, Bridget Ritzinger, as well as Jen Suarez and Lauzanne Nel. How about during the show? How do you handle doling out the work when there are so many female leads? We do camera tests before filming begins to see what each character will look like on camera, what works and what doesn’t, and go from there. There are lots of talks with creators, showrunners, costume designers, the actors themselves, and directors to get a sense of what they see for the characters as well. My process when prepping a show, especially a new one, is to first break down the scripts and characters, and create inspiration boards of what I think the character should be, and then it evolves from there. What is your process preproduction? How do you storyboard?
I have been working for the last several years on projects that have had very large casts with lots of women as well, so I’m kind of used to the challenge. I actually love the process of beginning something new and creating characters from the start. Let’s talk And Just Like That…-how do you begin to craft looks for so many different characters? Nothing makes me happier than for an actor to sit in my chair and walk out with confidence in the way they look.
Whether it’s a glamorous look or a special effect or a no-makeup look, it all has its place in storytelling. I think we accomplished that.”ī sits down exclusively with Berman Laurence to learn more about the specific makeup products used on each character, celebrating aging and diverse skin tones, and what’s changed the most beauty-wise since the original show premiered more than 20 years ago. As a superfan of Sex and the City, there was a lot of pressure to make everyone stand out in their own way. “If one area fails, then none of it works. “I think that the makeup, hair, and costumes all work together to be a character on the show,” says Emmy-winning Sherri Berman Laurence, the makeup department head for And Just Like That… (you may have seen her work recently on hit shows like Pose, The Politician, and Fosse/Verdon).
But in And Just Like That…, the 10-episode reboot of Sex and the City that is set to premiere on HBO Max tomorrow (December 9), beauty finally gets a starring role. The outfits worn by Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha have reached icon status since the show premiered in 1998, so it's no wonder the hair and makeup looks were often overlooked. Fashion has always been the fifth lead on Sex and the City.
