THE ART OF HAIR AND MAKE UP DESIGN

PLAYGROUNDS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

TICKETS:

Friday, 21 March, 12.15 – 13.15 | Film Industry Day

Evalotte Oosterop, based in Amsterdam, is an award-winning makeup and hair designer whose work on international and Dutch films—such as Armand and Sweet Dreams—brings characters to life with subtle, transformative details. Honored with the European Film Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hair for When the Light Breaks and the 2025 Ensor Award for Skunk, Evalotte delves deep into her creative process.

In her talk, she will share insights on her craft, preparation techniques, and the challenges she faces, while challenging the notion that makeup and hair are merely beauty enhancements instead of vital technical tools in storytelling. Join her session to discover how her work creates characters that truly resonate with audiences.
