GLADIATOR II - The Golden Party ✨ Decadence, lust, and gold everywhere. From the makeup to the hair to the costumes, I was in absolute awe watching everything come together. The preparation was intense, with countless tests and tweaks to perfect the look—but it was equally rewarding and so much fun. Our brilliant designer, Jana Carboni, had such a specific and stunning vision for the characters and this unforgettable scene. Collaborating with a team of insanely talented artists, exchanging ideas, and learning new techniques brought her vision to life in the most beautiful way. This experience reminded me that in our craft, there’s always more to learn and discover. Makeup Designer: Jana Carboni @jana_carboni Crowd Supervisor: Chantal Bussutil @chantalb_makeup_sfx Grateful for this golden opportunity and the chance to grow alongside such an incredible team. ✨ #Gladiator2 #MakeupArtist #SetLife #BehindTheScenes #FilmIndustry #CreativeProcess #PeriodDrama #EpicCinema #GoldenAesthetic #MakeupDesign #Teamwork #DreamJob #LearningNeverStops

Missing the old days on the set of Valhalla more than words can say. Three unforgettable years filled with early call times, laughter between takes, and the kind of bonds that only happen when you’re creating something special together. Our cast and crew were magic -my second family—who made every long day worth it. Forever grateful to have painted faces, shared stories, and built memories that still live in my heart.

Before you judge us—this happened before filming and before makeup fittings, okay? ☀️☀️☀️ We had plenty of SPF on set, not to mention a dedicated crew running around all day making sure our 937 daily background extras were lathered up and sun-safe. 🙏🏻 A couple of days before we started shooting Gladiator 2 in Malta, the sun decided to remind us who’s boss. During prep, some of the guys went through a boot camp to practice their fight moves and marching drills. Sounds cool, right? Well, several hours later, the sunburns looked less “battle-ready” and more “lobster army.” Case in point: our friend here shows up for his first fitting, and ouch. I could feel the pain just looking at him. We made it work, of course, but not before handing him a generous dose of aloe vera gel and having a little heart-to-heart about the importance of SPF—even if you think you’re invincible. Lesson learned: we look after each other, whether it’s on set, on screen, or under the blazing Maltese sun. (And hey, let’s just say the sunburn made his character look extra weathered and battle-worn. Call it method acting!) Makeup designer: @jana_carboni Makeup Crowd Supervisor: @chantalb_makeup_sfx I used a lot of @bennyemakeup Bronzing tint and @skinillustratorofficial palettes to correct the colors. #Gladiator2 #SFXMakeup #Prosthetics #MakeupArtistLife #BehindTheScenes #SpecialEffects #FilmProduction #MakeupCommunity #CreativeProcess #bloodsweatandglue

Throwback to 2022 when the legendary Tom McInerney turned me into a Viking with a killer beard during a hair-laying demo for the crew on the set of Valhalla Season 3! @vikingsvalhallanetflixtv (available and streaming worldwide) Tom - @puffjockey - was our amazing designer for all seasons of Valhalla Netflix, and I had the honor (and let’s be real, the laughs) of being his model for the day. It was equal parts hilarious and epic. I think we can all agree—I rock a beard, right? Is there any way I can make it permanent? 🤔 Being a makeup artist on such a huge project was so cool, but moments like these remind me how much fun our craft really is. What do you think: Beard or no beard? #MakeupArtistLife #NetflixValhalla #HairLayingDemo #BehindTheScenesMagic #VikingTransformation #ThrowbackSetLife #OnSetFun #MakeupAndBeards #ValhallaSeason3 #TomMcInerney #BeardGoals #MakeupCommunity #FilmMakeupArtists #MakeupIsArt #BeardEnvy #SetLifeAdventures #ValhallaCrew #MakeupTransformation #BTSVibes #VikingVibes #CreativeProcess

The Plague ✨⚔️ So many tests, so much Pros-Aide, sticky fingers everywhere, fake blood galore, and a daily prep routine that felt like a marathon. Huge shoutout to @chantalb_makeup_sfx , @elrinoceronte1 , and everyone holding down the fort in the prosthetics corner for keeping everything on track—absolute heroes! 🤣 I even dabbled in prosthetics a few times myself for old times’ sake. Our designer, @jana_carboni , blew us all away with her tests and demos in the crowd room—though sadly, I missed the big reveal, so no pictures from that day (still not over it). We had a blast experimenting with textures, color mixes, and application techniques. Watching such a diverse team come together to share ideas, learn, and create something incredible was just the best. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I feel so lucky to work with such talented people. 🖤🥹 Makeup Designer: @jana_carboni Makeup Crowd Supervisor: @chantalb_makeup_sfx Prosthetics Corner Wizards: @elrinoceronte1 #Gladiator2 #SFXMakeup #Prosthetics #MakeupArtistLife #BehindTheScenes #SpecialEffects #FilmProduction #MakeupCommunity #CreativeProcess #BloodSweatAndGlue

Gladiator 2 is finally here! 🤯 What a wild ride that was. First, a huge shoutout to @chantalb_makeup_sfx , our fearless crowd supervisor, who somehow kept us all sane through the chaos, heat, and early calls. And to @jana_carboni the genius behind this mammoth of a project—thank you for trusting me to be part of your incredible team. I’ll never forget my first day on set. My stomach was doing lflips, and I thought, “Mum, Dad, I’m on the set of Gladiator!” Little me from a tiny town in São Paulo was now part of something this epic. It was surreal. 🥹 Through all the heat, dirt, and so much sweat, I met insanely talented people from all over the world—and made friends for life. This was hands-down the craziest, most fun experience of my life so far. I still get emotional looking back at the photos, reliving it all. Thank you, Sir Ridley Scott, @ridleyscottcg for the opportunity. I’m so proud of myself and everyone who made this happen. Much love, T ⚔️🖤 #gladiator #gladiators #sfxmua #mua #makeupartist #filmcrew #setlife #behindthescenes #gladiator2 #paramountuk #paramount #paramountpictures
