Being that she's the only traditional-looking character, all of the retro glamour was channeled into Donnelly's look as Elsa Bloodstone, the daughter of the deceased leader Ulysses Bloodstone.
"I wanted her to look super classic and to have that polished look, but she's also very edgy and kind of doe-eyed," Arden says. "She's not really there to participate like the rest of them. They're all highly designed, with ritualistic face paint . . . she's just there to get down to business to get the Bloodstone back, and she doesn't want anything to do with all of their antics."
To keep her looking fresh and luminous on camera, Arden used the 111Skin Y Theorem Repair Serum ($350) followed by Clarins Beauty Flash Balm ($49) mixed with Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter ($46) on the high points of her face. The makeup artist also applied Chantecaille Future Skin Gel Foundation ($82) in shades Alabaster and Vanilla, opting to go without powder to maintain a radiant look that would translate well in black and white.
For a rosy flush, Arden applied It Cosmetics Vitality Cream Blush in Naturally Pretty (this product is currently unavailable, but the brand's Bye Bye Pores Blush is a nice powder alternative). Elsa's natural eye look was created using the Viseart Neutral Mattes Palette ($80), Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Mascara in Black ($29), and Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Dark Brown ($25).
It may look like Elsa is wearing a vampy red lip, but Arden says it's actually her natural lip color. "She's gifted," she says, adding that she did amp things up with a tinted balm (opting for a classic in Carmex), as well as the Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in M.I. Kiss ($34), which Arden calls a "spot-on match" for Donnelly's natural lip color.
