Heba Thorisdottir - Makeup Artist on Suicide Squad, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Captain Marvel (PART 1)

March 30, 2021 • Jessica Cohen, Heba Thorisdottir • Episode 23

Heba Thorisdottir grew up in Reykjavík, Iceland. She grew up playing with her mother’s makeup and creating characters for herself. It wasn’t just about beauty for her, it was about creating and turning herself into a character with the use of makeup. She worked her way up from the bottom from craft service until she was hired for jobs as a makeup artist.

In Part 1 of my interview with Heba, we talk about how she literally worked her way up from the very bottom, the difference between Iceland and the United States (particularly with family leave and valuing parents), the process of how she finds a look, and the differences between being a personal makeup artist and working on a production set.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of this interview in 2 weeks!
