Biopic are one of the finest movies you can watch. Seeing the actors portray a historical characters is wonderful. However, the most fascinating thing is to see the actors side by side with the real person they portrayed in the biopic. Here’s a quick round-up of such instances. (Also, it shows that makeup artists must get a much-needed raise)

To bring out the actual effect and make Jessica Lang look like Joan Crawford, the make-up team used 60s wet-setting and rollers!

Jennifer Lopez as Selena Quintanilla-Perez inSelena
Not just the makeup but Jennifer Lopez went the extra mile to portray Selena. She slept in Selena’s bed while preparing for the role.
Susan Sarandon as Bette Davis inFeud
Another brilliant job by the makeup team for the movie Feud was bringing Bette Davis on-screen via Susan Sarandon. They didn’t use any digital makeup or reverse aging, instead, they used actual makeup to bring the effects.

Renée Zellweger won an Oscar for portraying Judy. And rightfully so! If it hadn’t been for theBombshell’smakeup team, Judy’s makeup team would have won the Oscar for their fantastic effort.
