Look Behind The Look

Stranger Things is one of the most iconic shows in Netflix history, largely due to the creative brain power behind bringing each character’s look to life. Stranger Things’ Emmy Nominated Makeup Department Heads Devin Morales and Amy L. Forsythe talk about testing out different looks, from creating the perfect blue eye shadow to red nosebleeds, and staying true to the decade’s trends. Plus, they take us behind their experience filming overseas during the pandemic, interacting with fans who recreate character looks, and a special brand partnership with MAC Cosmetics.
