Unlike her high-key to low-key evolution with makeup IRL, Ferreira's character Kat Hernandez experienced quite the opposite. "On the show, I actually had to wait a long time before I even got a makeup look," she explained. "In the first two episodes, it was really just Kat feeling insecure and not exploring her glam or sexuality. After that, I had a day where I was like, 'Hell yeah, I get to look cute today.' I finally got to wear glam makeup after that."
And wear makeup did she ever: from blood red lipstick lined in black to a cat eye so sharp it could cut a b*tch, Ferreira's looks were bold and unapologetic by design — and ones she's aimed to re-create herself at home, too. "In the finale episode, I had this cool coloured eyeliner look that I had been talking about [with the show's makeup artists] for a long time," she said. "I would send them videos of the kinds of eyeliners and cat-eye shapes that I liked, because there are so many shapes of a cat eye you can do. Then we settled on this neon pink colour that just gives it this perfect shape. It's my favourite look we did. I still have not achieved a better winged eyeliner since."
