'Bridgerton' lead beauty artist gives a peek at what it takes to create the world's elaborate looks

Simone Ashley from Bridgerton and Erika Okvist, Bridgerton's makeup artist on a purple background.

Since the first season aired back in 2020, the world has been obsessed with the captivating Bridgerton beauty looks. From the striking citrus palette of the Featherington family and their tight red ringlets to Daphne's makeup with her subtle blush and plump flushed lips and, of course, Kate Sharma's luminous skin, razor-sharp bone structure, and no-nonsense hairdo, there is so much to love about how the show helps to create a character through beauty methods.

These signature looks that we all love, and try so hard to recreate, are thanks to the incredible glam squad that brings us the covetable looks of each beautiful character. So, as the long-awaited Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story hits our screens, we chatted to Bridgerton season two's lead makeup and hair designer, Erika Ökvist, about what it takes to create a character's look in the elaborate world of Bridgerton and how the team brings together regency expectations and fuses them with modern-day glitz and glam to keep viewers just as charmed by the show’s beauty, as it does the captivating storylines.
