With the help of hair and makeup, it's easy to tell who the "evil" characters are in "The Princess." Julius (aka The Princess's betrothed, played by Dominic Cooper) and his right-hand henchwoman, Moira (Olga Kurylenko), have a distinct darkness about them that Armstrong says was intentional.
Moira's jet-black hair and intricate updo were designed to look like the end of a whip, the character's weapon of choice. To further amp up her evilness, Armstrong applied tons of smoky liner to her eyes. Her favorites were the Laura Mercier Inner Eye Definer ($26) and Bobbi Brown Ink Liner ($35).
Julius' hairstyle, Armstrong says, is intended to be the man version of Moira's, with the sides shaved down and the back of his hair coming to a point.
"They were more slightly on the Tudor-y side of medieval," Armstrong says. "And Olga's makeup was obviously much more modern as well. It was quite nice to be able to do that. Because it was fantasy, that was the whole idea."
