The Verge: How makeup designer Donald Mowat helped shape Blade Runner 2049’s future

From getting Jared Leto’s blinding contacts halfway around the globe to picking the right shade of pink for a giant naked hologram woman

Most people haven’t heard of Donald Mowat, but they’ve likely seen his work in films like The Fighter, 8 Mile, The Departed, the James Bond films Skyfall and Spectre, and now, Blade Runner 2049. Mowat is a longtime makeup designer whose work has earned a Primetime Emmy, a Saturn Award, two Hollywood Makeup Artists Guild awards, and two Gemini Awards. He was recently nominated for a BAFTA award for his work on Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals. Mowat has worked with director Denis Villeneuve multiple times, on Prisoners and Sicario, and he most recently partnered with Villeneuve again on the sequel to 1982’s Blade Runner. Though critics have largely been positive about the film, it’s been a box office disappointment. But that may change once the film opens in China and Japan on October 27th.
