00:00Hello, Allure.

00:01We are the Cost of the Buccaneers.

00:02Welcome to the set of season two.

00:04Come on.

00:05Come on.

00:06Come on.

00:12We are at Tintagel Castle right now,

00:14where the Duke and the Duchess reside.

00:17Yeah, we do a lot of carriage work here.

00:19And our horsemen work so hard.

00:21Good old David.

00:23He's great.

00:24Are we carrying on up here?

00:26Look at how fierce this is.

00:27This is to protect them from the rain

00:29and the way that, this is Mugler.

00:31This is Mugler.

00:32It kind of is.

00:34John Galliano.

00:34And you're kind of slang.

00:37There's about 10 pounds of padding on your booty.

00:39It's hefty.

00:40Truly.

00:41As you walk away, we look like a granny.

00:44Oh, it's like an old woman.

00:47It's hard to walk in these dresses.

00:50It is.

00:51I mean, I don't know why any woman would do this to themselves.

00:54Well, I think they were forced to, at the point of our show.

00:59Today, we're filming the scene where we all get to the finale ball.

01:03We're arriving to Nan's ball that she sent out invitations for.

01:07High stakes, a lot of drama.

01:09There's just been some big bombshell that was found out by Nan.

01:14It's giving du moi.

01:15Yeah.

01:16Very du moi.

01:21Okay, so we just got kicked out.

01:23They're filming.

01:24This is the Tintagel room.

01:26Many parties have happened here.

01:27Conchita had a very traumatizing, one of many traumatizing moments in this room.

01:32You think the Lord's uninterested in my iguana?

01:34Nor your snoring, nor your itchy head, nor your fear of children.

01:37Cora, why the sabotage?

01:38There were no thunderbolts.

01:40It's her first time trying to execute her plan of being a matchmaker.

01:44And her first client just completely sabotages it.

01:47And that happened in this very room.

01:49And there's a lot of men on the walls.

01:51Lot of men.

01:52Lot of portraits.

01:53Okay, let's carry on with the tour.

01:56Okay.

01:57Let's go.

01:58Where are we going?

02:00Hello.

02:01This is the staircase.

02:02Steeped in the street.

02:03And we're just casually walking down.

02:04We actually have a lot of time spent in this staircase.

02:09Josie slid down these stairs.

02:14One would say I tumbled.

02:16And got in trouble for it.

02:18I did.

02:19I sort of was yelled at falling.

02:21This is my mascara.

02:22It looks very green.

02:23It's got some black mesh.

02:25Lucy Rowley does my hair and makeup.

02:27She is just a gem.

02:29And we love our hair and makeup team.

02:31We love them.

02:32They are just heaven.

02:33I remember talking to Jenny, who's our designer this year, and being like,

02:37Mabel needs to get hotter.

02:39It's time for her to just be a bit sexier.

02:42Alicia always makes fun of me because I always end up with more makeup.

02:46Full beat.

02:47Full beat by the end of it.

02:48I always sneak in.

02:49I'm jealous.

02:50I'm jealous.

02:51Sneak in a lip liner or something.

02:53But now I don't have to sneak it as much anymore.

02:55Because I feel like they're giving it to us.

02:58This makeup look is by the wonderful Abby Richards.

03:01And it's very gothic.

03:02And you've got big hair.

03:03Oh, yeah.

03:04The hair as well.

03:05She does my hair as well.

03:06And I've got great big hair.

03:07That was the tour.

03:09Thanks, Hila.

03:10Woo!

03:11I'm Christine Frosef, and I play Nan St. George.

03:18Hi, I'm Jenny Rhodes-McLean, and I am the hair and makeup designer on Buccaneers Season 2.

03:23Today we're getting ready for the Masquerade Ball.

03:26Nan, obviously, in Season 1, I think we were going for more tomboy.

03:30She had short hair.

03:31She didn't want to be, I guess, what a woman was supposed to be.

03:36You know, she didn't want to embrace that feminine side of herself.

03:39But this time around, you know, she's a duchess now, so things have had to change.

03:43And Jenny's had great ideas of how that keeps evolving throughout.

03:48I think there's been, like, a natural evolution of Nan's look.

03:55And then I think there's also, like, Nan's so smart.

03:58She's now playing the game.

04:00She's now realizing that beauty can also mean power.

04:05She's using her beauty to kind of influence and do good in the world

04:09and help herself out over a couple of situations.

04:13I love sticking to period-correct silhouettes,

04:16but then having fun with the texture and having fun with the finer details.

04:23So as long as the silhouette feels period-correct,

04:26I like to kind of then play around with everything else.

04:28And then I love looking at family portraits.

04:33Oh, I didn't even know that.

04:35She does her research.

04:37You should have seen the, like, you should have seen the stack of books.

04:41What's really interesting about this show is that we're late Victorian,

04:45but you start to see some really cool Edwardian influences by the end of the season.

04:50And actually things changed such a lot between the Victorian period and the Edwardian period.

04:55The shapes of the hair change, the silhouettes change, there's softer waves.

04:59We've used that a lot in the show to kind of elevate the looks and see where fashion-forward characters are kind of heading.

05:06One of the things that is the most important as a skin prep is hydration and drinking water,

05:13which this girl is fantastic at.

05:15We love the agua.

05:17We both love to start our days with electrolytes.

05:19We do.

05:20With the same brand of electrolytes.

05:22Yeah.

05:23We knew we were going to be fine when we started, when we pulled out the same brand of electrolytes.

05:27That's when we knew.

05:28That's when we knew.

05:29Yeah.

05:30It was going to be okay.

05:31It's Element.

05:32Highly recommend.

05:33Not sponsored.

05:34Yeah.

05:35This is my favorite thing.

05:36This lights up the whole room.

05:38Yeah.

05:39This season I've used Cosas so much.

05:41Love Cosas.

05:42It is so beautiful, so buildable.

05:45I feel like it has kept everyone's skin so clean and clear.

05:49It's really hydrating.

05:51Yeah.

05:52I always break out and I haven't broken out once because of it.

05:55Yeah.

05:56I think it's, and it looks beautiful on camera as well.

05:58Oh, Flash Extender Mascara, I swear by.

06:01Love this mascara.

06:03Yeah.

06:04It's a tubing mascara and it's in brown, which is quite difficult to find.

06:08For filming as well, it just helps so much because they have to wear it for so long.

06:13And, you know, we have crying scenes, but sometimes waterproof mascara can be too harsh.

06:18We also need the ability for it to come on and off quite quickly.

06:22This is another favorite product.

06:25Which is, this one is in Greek, so.

06:30This is homeoplasmine.

06:32I want to say that I'm saying that right.

06:33It's my favorite lip balm of all time.

06:35But it's kind of like a medicated lip balm.

06:37It's so good, like it is so good for you.

06:39It's got kind of like healing properties in it and not just petroleum.

06:43I think the masquerade ball is actually my favorite look.

06:50It really shows her internal space.

06:55It's kind of also the complete opposite of her wedding look, which I think is really cool.

07:01She's so lost and scared, but she's also so strong and she's kind of letting out her fierceness.

07:07And it's kind of gothic and emo and I love it.

07:09And I love that Jenny was leaning into the emo aspects of it.

07:14Yeah.

07:15Like the dark lip.

07:16She goes through so much and I feel like she's always there for people and she kind of handles everything so well.

07:22But I think it's nice to see her tap into her dark energy.

07:28This season, for a multitude of reasons, we've gone longer.

07:32One, it was to show a time jump.

07:34We cut to by quite a few months.

07:37I think it was also to just show how Nan's grown and how her look's been elevated.

07:44This piece was made to minimize time in the chair, but also to make sure that the curls were Duchess perfect.

07:52And that we could set it off of Christine's head and also so that we could weave in these really delicate beads throughout.

08:02They're all stitched in.

08:04This hair is needed to kind of last for days and days on end.

08:08This piece gets individually set and then put in the wig oven for almost 12 hours so that these curls will be perfect for the whole day.

08:18Well, this is the finished look for the masquerade ball and this is actually my favorite look.

08:22This is Nan's darker side and she's ready for war.

08:26And I just love the energy and how it makes me feel.

08:30Well, I'm headed to set, so thank you so much, Allure.
