As a Mexican-American herself, Serratos says she'd always felt inspired by Selena's beauty. "I realized quickly that I wanted to do my own makeup and be involved in turning myself into Selena the same way that she turned herself into our own creation."įor Serratos, paying attention to the minute details - from the way Selena lined her eyes and lips to the specific shade of red she used on her nails - helped her feel more confident as she eased into the megalithic part. I loved how involved and creative she was in her own identity," Serratos tells Allure. She was her own creative director, stylist, makeup artist, hairstylist. It was this extended prep, as Serratos calls it, that allowed her to feel more grounded and connected to the role. The lips in particular needed to replicate the distinctive 1940s-esque look, sans middle peak, that Selena's naturally had. Since much of the show was filmed at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, Stapleton helped her recreate the iconic beauty looks virtually and estimates Serratos did her own makeup for about 75 percent of the show.Īlthough they only held two Zoom calls to make sure each look was perfected, Stapleton says Serratos was a master at recreating Selena's lips and brows. "Christian has this little habit where she'll just kind of bounce like a sponge around her face and it kind of calms her.and it just sort of re-emulsifies everything," Stapleton reveals. (This was not a product that existed during Selena's time, but it was a necessary change, according to the beauty designer.) And, while Selena did use MAC foundation to suit her naturally golden undertones, Stapleton opted to use NC 30 Pro Longwear Concealer on star Christian Serratos to avoid unnecessary retouching during long filming days in the Baja California sun. A return to naturally sculpted beauty, Stapleton says the team opted for matte powders and avoided highlighters on set, as these weren't widely used during the '80s and '90s.
