Nicola Coughlan Reveals Her Changing Relationship With Makeup As She Turns Muse To Pat McGrath For ‘Bridgerton 2’ Special Collection
Make-up today is much more than the artistic strokes on thy face. An integral element of the system of filmmaking in the current times, make-up and beauty have grown to become meaningful and deeper than the layers of foundation, applied on thy face. While we all can hail Euphoria for bringing that much-needed perspective, and also making us all obsessed with the tinsels and stars, Netflix’s upcoming show Bridgerton season two aims to have a similar effect. Well, the show’s zero on oxygen corsets have already become a headline special, but this time it’s the show’s make-up that has some exciting revelations to make. Talking about an exclusive collaboration with beauty star Pat McGrath, actress Nicola Coughlan AKA Penelope Featherington, revealed her relationship with make-up in a recent interview with Glamour UK.

She also unveiled deets about her on and off relationship with make-up, which played an imperative role during her early years of growing up and a total opposite during her time in drama school. From being an absolute necessity or a shield to now being a tool to paint creatively, she pointed out the expressive nature of makeup and said, the one thing she loved about Bridgerton and the Regency era was that, “Women were able to use beauty to express themselves creatively and build a sense of identity. It could be so elaborate or soft and feminine, and that’s really inspiring.” Actually, just like Euphoria and all its characters, who use their stunning eye shadow palettes as a tool to speak their emotional state, beauty has found a deeper and fruitful meaning today. The new rules of beauty, exclaim that there surely aren’t any and it’s about time we leave the stereotypes attached to the glitter brushes and just have fun with ’em all.
