Join Disha for a special edition of Let’s Get Ugly with Siân Mille, the hair and makeup designer behind Wuthering Heights. Siân takes us inside the creative process of building some of the film’s most striking character transformations, from wild, weathered hair silhouettes to flush, emotional makeup moments. She shares how scripts and mood boards shape every decision, how collaboration with costume designer Jacqueline Duran and director Emerald Fennell brought cohesion to the screen, and why imperfections like freckles, sweat and texture make a look feel real. We get into on-set spontaneity, tin foil embellishments, social media references woven into period design, and the beauty details that made each character’s evolution unforgettable. If you’ve ever wondered how cinematic beauty really comes together, this one’s for you. Enjoy!

Episode Description: Join Trishna and Disha in the studio for a conversation with Bea Sweet (@beasweetbeauty), one of the sharpest minds in modern makeup artistry. Bea breaks down her intuitive approach to faces, how she reads energy, emotion and contrast, and why she categorises looks as “cool girls” or “hot girls” before building a makeup character from the inside out. The girls get into makeup as art, sculpture and self-expression, dismantling beauty standards, and why intention matters more than perfection. From London’s creative influence to industry pressures and unexpected kit staples, this episode is an honest look at what makeup can really do when it’s about feeling good, not fitting in. Enjoy!
