Inside Riley Keough’s Daisy Jones and The Six Transformation

When it concerns storytelling on the little screen, appeal plays a lead function.

Just ask Daisy Jones and The Six makeup department head Rebecca Wachtel, who brought Prime Video’s ’70-inspired rock ‘n’ roll show to life with looks that stimulate the imaginary band’s highs and lows.

“Makeup plays a huge part,” Rebecca informed E! News in an unique interview. “It creates the visual.”

For example, Daisy Jones (played by Riley Keough) goes through the greatest transformation of the lot as popularity draws her in and spits her out. By utilizing specific eye shadow tones and skin items, Rebecca paints an image of what the rock star is experiencing.

“She’s fresh-faced, she’s been in the sun, that ’70s vibe,” the makeup artist described. “But then she starts to become famous and wears a bit more makeup. We do a whole range to show her transition from being unhinged and on drugs. And when she takes it really far, she’s washed down and using heavy makeup, which isn’t the Daisy we know from before.”

As Rebecca put it, “You can tell something’s not right.”
