I’ll never miss a chance to chat behind-the-scenes magic on the sets of my favorite shows and films, and this interview with @thewhitelotus ’ lead makeup artist @bexx7 couldn’t have made for a better @whowhatwear feature debut 🪷
In honour of the Emmys, I wanted to share some stories from the makeup chair of @thewhitelotus as told by their makeup designer @bexx7 . Thank you so much for telling us the tales behind the magic, Bex! ✨

✨We made the hardest TV show in the entire world-I said it! The Makeup these ladies executed was stunning and in a league of their own. We had 20+ main characters and the looks we created were unique and cohesive- and we did it in the hottest climate i’ve ever been in. Nobody saw the other side of the camera, but quite literally blood, sweat and tears went into this show. I couldn’t be more proud of the work we did. Not present was our Thai crew- Geng, JoJo & Nat ❤️ So much love for you all #Emmys #thewhitelotus
Rebecca Hickey was taken aback when Aimee Lou Wood’s glitter eye took the internet by storm, but that was hardly the only surprising thing in Season 3 of The White Lotus. From sweaty white dudes to Sam Rockwell’s last-minute scars to Carrie Coon’s vacation nails, here’s why she scored an Emmy nod for Episode 5: “Full-Moon Party.”

Huge congratulations to @bexx7 on your Emmy nomination on @thewhitelotus ✨ Watching your artistry, precision, + grace under pressure, through the heat, humidity, + everything Thailand threw at us, was nothing short of magic. You are the definition of a true head makeup artist: calm in chaos, detailed beyond belief, + skin-obsessed in the best way.
The White Lotus is the dreamiest adventure that changed so many forever. Every season has radiated dream skin, but Thailand… that glow? That was you, Rebecca. Skin forward, delicate hands, minimal coverage, maximum impact.
Congrats to the entire cast + amazing crew for sweeping the Emmy nominations, it’s so deserved. Thank you for including @vieenrosebeauty in such an unforgettable journey. You are the glow behind the show.
This magical day in Phuket with the elephants will live on rent free forever 🪷
