“We worked with the greatest [special effects makeup artist], Kazu Hiro. It’s really hard to get him to do new stuff,” Charlize shared with Hollywood Reporter. “But I did a lot of begging and he came on and designed eight [prosthetic] pieces for me. Two of them basically covered my entire eyelids. It was very intricate work. Intricate work where you still need to be able to do what you need to do, like blink.”

Charlize stars alongside Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie in Bombshell, which will be out in theaters on December 20th – watch the trailer here!
