Both Laurence and Moe can agree that if there's any major character on the show whose look has evolved the most over the years, it's Blanca.
"When we first met Blanca in season one, her look was more pedestrian and less refined, a young woman on the start of her journey, pulling it together on a budget. As we watched her grow in life, love, and loss, we got to see her look evolve as well," Moe said. As the series progressed, Moe notes that he made the decision to give Blanca longer and fuller hair while also embracing her natural texture on occasion.
"Her signature finger-waved edges were the finishing detail that set her apart from the other girls," he said. "She will forever be the heart and soul of this piece, and I think her hair journey represents that beautifully."
To reflect Blanca's initial lack of confidence and lower class status, Laurence and the rest of the makeup team used drugstore products that were purposely applied in an amateur fashion.
"We shopped for cheap brown drugstore eyeshadow palettes to use to represent her place at the time. She cared more about her family than she did learning how to perfect her look," she said. "The shapes for her shadows were not as blended and had more roundness to help make her look a little more off. As the seasons went on and her children grew into their own lives, she was able to focus more on herself."
