Margot Robbie’s radiant appearance during the ‘Wuthering Heights’ press tour has caught the attention of many, and it seems her makeup artist, Pati Dubroff, deserves credit for her glowing complexion. Rather than solely relying on one blush product, Pati expertly layered three different shades to achieve that fresh, just-in-from-the-moors flush on Margot’s cheeks. Starting with Chanel’s N°1 De Chanel Lip And Cheek Balm in Berry Boost and Red Camellia, priced at £42 each, Pati’s technique involved warming the creams between her fingers and gently pressing them onto the cheeks before blending upwards and outwards.
To complete the look, a pink-toned Chanel Baume Essential, priced at £38, was applied across the cheekbones for a subtle, luminous effect. A light dusting of powder was then added to set the makeup without compromising the natural finish. This meticulous approach not only enhanced Margot’s features but also ensured a camera-friendly look without appearing overly matte.
In line with the film’s historical setting in the late 18th century, Margot’s makeup for the tour aimed to capture the essence of the era. Emphasizing real skin with minimal eye makeup and subtle contouring, the focus was on recreating the classic ‘rouge’ trend prevalent during that time. The use of bold berry colors, derived from insects or minerals, reflected the historical beauty standards of the period.
For the London premiere, Margot, portraying Cathy in the film, accessorized with a striking replica of Charlotte Brontë’s original mourning bracelet, a piece steeped in history dating back 175 years. This bracelet, believed to contain the intertwined hair of Charlotte’s late sisters, Emily and Anne, featured a shimmering amethyst at its center. While the concept may seem unconventional today, such sentimental jewelry was common among the middle and upper classes in the early Victorian era.
This significant jewelry piece follows Margot’s recent appearance wearing a £6.4 million necklace once owned by Elizabeth Taylor and gifted by Richard Burton. The pendant, originating from 16th-century India, showcased intricate jade mounting accented with gold, rubies, and diamonds, engraved with the phrase “love is everlasting” in Parsee script.
Margot’s attention to historical detail, both in her makeup and accessories, adds a layer of authenticity to her role in ‘Wuthering Heights’ and showcases her dedication to capturing the essence of the bygone era.
