How do you lead three departments on a global fantasy series—while battling extreme weather, designing epic prosthetics, and making sure wigs stay on through stunt sequences? In this week’s episode of the Friends in Beauty Podcast, we sit down with Davina Lamont, the Hair, Makeup, and Prosthetics Department Head for Season 3 of Amazon Prime Video’s The Wheel of Time.
Davina shares her inspiring journey from working her way up through the ranks as a makeup artist to running large-scale creative teams on some of the biggest productions in the world. You'll hear how she:
Trained in nearly every discipline of makeup, hair, and prosthetics
Worked with the legendary Wētā Workshop
Chose inclusive brands like Fenty & Danessa Myricks Beauty to match a beautifully diverse cast
Managed over 400 wigs and kept them secure in Namibia’s summer heat
Created unforgettable prosthetic looks, like the multiple versions of Rand in Episode 4
OMG! And if you’re trying to get into the Union wait until you hear what Davina has to say about that
Whether you’re a beauty pro, aspiring artist, or just curious about the magic behind the scenes, Davina’s story will leave you inspired, informed, and in awe of what’s possible with skill, grit, and vision.
