Barbie Ferreira's Journey With Acne
Euphoria follows a group of teenagers in high school, which is why when Ferreira showed up to set one day with a few spots, the producers decided to emphasise it.
"For the first few episodes, I was breaking out — I usually break out on my cheek in a very specific area — but nobody did anything specifically to get rid of pimples," Ferreira told POPSUGAR in an interview. "We were like, 'We're playing teenagers, teenagers break out, what's the big deal? [The show's makeup artists] would actually add red to it to make it more textured because they wanted to really show it. For three episodes, I had my temples accentuated, with a little more red gooeyness to it, you know? We wanted it to be realistic even within this unrealistic space of a really cool teen fiction show. It was all grounded in so much reality."
