makeup artist: makeup artist Mai Quynh for tarte
inspiration:
“I was inspired by the cut of the dress. It was very structured, so I
wanted to do something fun and modern with her makeup. I wanted to do a
slight graphic line, while leaving the rest of her makeup soft and
fresh.” –makeup artist Mai Quynh

create a dramatic eye, Mai applied a thick line along her upper lash

Want to bone up on past seasons and what might happen? You cram in on Saturday Evening Post's March/April issue...
In March/April
2014’s cover story, legendary Hollywood reporter Jeanne Wolf sat down
with the cast, asking how they’ve grown and why fans project so much
love and hate on their characters.
The Post complements the story with a cover based on a Norman
Rockwell illustration that appeared in its Sept. 17, 1960 issue. Fans
will enjoy the bonus section following the interview. In “Real Mad Men
at Work,” the
Post throws open the doors to its archives to presents a look back at the “new” look of vintage ’60s-era art and advertising.
Included are excerpts from the article.
John Hamm on Don Draper:
“Don Draper is a guy that looks good in all appearances and yet is essentially a disaster.”
January Jones (Betty) on fans’ reactions to her character:
“People come up to me, and they
straight up say that they dislike me.”
Vincent Kartheiser (Pete Campbell) on his wildest post-fame purchase:
“The wildest thing I’ve bought is a Japanese toilet, a Toto, a fancy and expensive toilet … The Ferrari of toilets.”
John Slattery (Roger Sterling) on seeing his audition tape recently:
“You watch yourself on the
audition tape and flashback, ‘Oh my God, I started out and my kid was
six years old, and he’s in high school now.’
You change, especially physically. I feel like I’m 100 years older than when we started.”
Elizabeth Moss (Peggy Olson) on character judgments:
“The only time I heard a
problem was people questioning my character’s choices in dating. Which I
have in real life as well. But I’m always like, ‘Really? You never made
a mistake in who you dated?’
And that’s Peggy’s story. She keeps making her mistakes over and over
unfortunately.”
Christina Hendricks (Joan Harris) on the new attention focused on her:
“I’ve had days of anxiety or panic about being looked at or being talked about, and that’s made me just want to stay home.”
Executive Producer and series creator Matt Weiner on fans’ investment in the show:
“It’s
been an education for me to realize that what a lot of people find
entertaining is feeling superior to the activity that’s going on on the
screen. They want to have their
values reaffirmed; they want to have this sort of narcissistic
gratification of ‘I know what’s going to happen.’ ‘I know how this world
is going to work out.’ Or, ‘Thank God I’m not like that.’”
Hamm on the secret to the show’s success:
“There are so many variables.
At any point in the development of the show, somebody could have made a
decision that ruined it. They could have put a flaw in it and magnified
over time, but it didn’t
happen. Instead, everybody made the right decisions, because everybody
is in it for the right reasons.”
It ain't a proper send-off nor premiere unless you have a Mad Men drinking party.
