Nineties makeup is easily recognized. "Nudes, browns, and wine tones were the predominant colors of the day," makeup department head David Williams says. But Anderson had a bit of a different look to her. As a California girl, her makeup was on the lighter, more natural-looking side.
That said, the first thing that Williams' team felt they needed to nail was her brows, hence the forehead prosthetic and hand-sewn brow pieces. "The brows are Pam's most identifiable feature," he says. It was her super-slender, thinly plucked, high-arched shape that many people were trying to emulate at the time. "She was the benchmark for that, and so it was absolutely critical that the brows be spot-on for her in creating a look for Pam."
To get the look, Williams used a variety of products. Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick ($34) in Pillow Talk was a staple, as was the Chanel Rouge Coco Flash Lipstick ($42) in Boy for her "Baywatch" look. "The MAC liner pencil ($19) in Spice was such an iconic pencil of the day — we used that," he says. To get Pam's rosy cheeks, he used the Stila Convertible Color ($25) blush in Petunia and Petal.
