Makeover Montage: A Fashion in Film Podcast

Building Bruises and Bad Makeup: An Interview with Bottoms’ Makeup Artist Natalie Johnson


Listen Later

Bottoms week continues! In this long-lost episode from the Makeover Montage vault, Marie sits down with the film’s makeup artist Natalie Johnson for a deep dive into the bold, hilarious, and blood-soaked aesthetic of the breakout teen comedy. Natalie shares how ‘90s teen classics like Bring It On, Jawbreaker, Never Been Kissed, and She’s All That inspired the film’s hyper-stylized yet realistic high school looks, and how Fight Club served as a makeup reference for those epic fight scenes. From skincare prep to bruising techniques, Natalie gives us a behind-the-scenes look at crafting both beauty and carnage on set. Plus, she opens up about her journey from MAC Cosmetics to movie sets, her love for horror, and why collaboration with actors like Rachel Sennott and Havana Rose Liu made Bottoms such a treat!
