We see that perfect blond fade away, quite literally, after Kate is kidnapped. "In that time, she wouldn't go to a salon — her highlights and her bleaching would grow out — so, that's where we showed the passage of time with darker, new growth in her hair," Kirkpatrick said.
Kate's makeup look changes, too, from light and bright pink tones to grunge, another popular makeup trend in the '90s. "That's when she was going through her rebellious phase," Trujillo said. "It was so great to be able to use makeup to convey to the audience where she was in her mind."
Eyeliner was Trujillo's secret weapon for pulling off Kate's grunge look, but not just any eyeliner. "Pencil eyeliner was something I had to get used to again, because I haven't done a pencil eyeliner in 10 years — now we use powders, gel liner — but pencil liners were everything in the 90s."
