'90s makeup is easily recognised. "Nudes, browns, and wine-tones were the predominant colours of the day," says David Williams. But Anderson had a bit of a different look to her. As a California girl, her makeup was on the lighter, more natural-looking side.
That said, the first thing that Williams' team felt they needed to nail was her brows, hence the forehead prosthetic and hand-sown brow pieces. "The brows are Pam's most identifiable feature," he says. It was her super slender, thinly plucked, high arched shape that many people were trying to emulate at the time. "She was the benchmark for that, and so it was absolutely critical that the brows be spot on for her in creating a look for Pam."
To get the look, Williams used a variety of products. Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick ($34) in "Pillow Talk" was a staple, as was the Chanel Coco Flash Lipstick in "Boy" ($42) for her Baywatch look. "The MAC Liner Pencil in "Spice" ($19) was such an iconic pencil of the day — we used that," he says. To get Pam's rosy cheeks, he used the Stila Convertible Colour Blush ($25) in "Petunia" and "Petal."
