Unlike Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady, Anderson apparently did not wear any prosthetics to resemble Thatcher. Hall noted that, typically, her team focuses on re-creating recognisable hair and makeup styles but let the actors do the rest in their performance.
"We use makeup subtly, but tend not to use prosthetics or teeth appliances unless we feel they are subtle enough not to be noticed," Hall said. And Thatcher's makeup was certainly simple; Hall and her team barely used any base makeup at all on Anderson and none at all during her final, older years, specifically in episode 10.
