The initial thought for Eyes Wide Shut was to paint open eyes on closed lids. But it had been done so many times before, I couldn‘t see repeating it.  Instead, we chose an image harkening to the sex cult which Tom Cruise’s character stumbles upon. In the film, cult members cloak themselves in hooded capes and elaborate masks.

Emily created a hooded cape, similar to those in the film. We debated using a theatrical or Mardi Gras mask, but that look wouldn’t offer much to the portfolio of the makeup artist or model.
