Percy Jackson Makeup Department Head Naomi Bakstad on Designing Season 1!

Q: Could you talk to us a little bit about relatedly, like when you were starting, like what types of considerations go into makeup design for specifically, like the main trio and like the child actors?

The biggest thing with Percy's makeup specifically is that because we shoot such a long season in Vancouver and it has so many different types of weather.

Percy Jackson Makeup Department Head Naomi Bakstad on Designing Season 1!

Q: What was it like creating that sunken eye and that paleness?

It was so fun. We again, did lots of tests and so like I said, I often added a lot of tan and color into Walker's skin for his everyday look and his freckles. So to pull all that away was sort of the first step of that makeup where we, I sort of went against the grain to make him look more pale and then darkened his eyes.
