What can one say about the amazing #danielradcliffe? Not only is he an amazing actor and lovely human being, but in #TheLostCity he depicts Abigail Fairfax as equal parts classy, funny and unhinged. For that reason, getting to do his #makeup on this film was an absolute delight.
With makeup direction from the extremely talented @fredrikszrobin, and beard cutting and styling by myself, we had a challenge in keeping him looking pristine in the jungles of the #dominicanrepublic. But we were up to the #challenge!
We started the design of his makeup early on with a #photoshopdesign that at least gave us a direction to take his look. Look at the last picture to see what we were initially aiming for.
Once we locked in the design and started filming, I realized that there were two things that I really liked the about this makeup. The first was that we kept his #beard as well groomed as we could get it. The idea was that not a hair on his beard was ever out of place. That was fun to manage and achieve especially when you’re out in the elements! Secondly, I really liked how much Fairfax’s perfection breaks down in the third act of the film. Creating a characters broken down look is always a blast!
It was a pleasure handling this makeup day in and day out. Plus when you are surrounded by such great folks such as @fredrikszrobin and Daniel Radcliffe, it makes each day amazing!

Daniel Radcliffe: I found it funny, especially when Abigail Fairfax describes it as a gender-neutral name. But the thing was, the film staff would check us all into hotels in the Dominican Republic under our character names. So the hotel staff would be calling me Abigail. I would have to tell them, 'It's Dan. Please call me Dan.'
