A Full Day On Set of 'The Buccaneers' Season 2, From Makeup to Filming

Hello, allure.

We are the cast of 'The Buccaneers'.

Welcome to the set of season two.

Come on. Come on.

Come!

[upbeat music]

We're at Tintagel Castle right now.

Yeah. Where the duke

and the duchess reside.

We do a lot of carriage work here

and our horseman work so hard.

[Alisha] Good old, Dave. Yeah.

He's great. Are we carrying on up here?

Look at how fierce this is,

this is to protect them from the rain

and the way that this is Muglare. [chuckles]

It kind of is.

John Galliano And you're kind of slaying.

There's about 10 pounds of

padding on her booty.

It's hefty. Really?

As you walk away we look like little granny.

Oh!

It's like an old woman I know, it's...

[Josie] It's, it's hard to walk in these dresses.

[Alisha] It is.

I mean, I don't know why

any woman would do this to themselves.

Well I think they were forced to.

They were.

That's the point of our show.

[gentle instrumental music]

Today we're filming the scene

where we all get to the finale

ball.

We're arriving to Nan's ball that she sent out

invitations for.

[Alisha] Yeah. High stakes, load of drama.

Nan- There's just been some...

Big bombshell that was

found out by Nan. Yeah.

It's giving demure. Yeah.

Very demure. Juicy.

[classical music]

Okay, so we just got kicked out.

They were filming.

This is the Tintagel room,

many parties have happened here.

Conchita had a very traumatizing,

one of many traumatizing moments

in this room.

You think the Lord's aren't interested in my iguana?

Nor your snoring, nor your itchy head,

nor your fear of children.

Cora, why the sabotage? There were no thunderbolts!

It's her first time

trying to execute her plan of being a matchmaker

and

her first client just completely sabotages it,

and that happened in this very room.

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

Lot of men,

[Alisha] Lot of portraits.

Okay, let's carry on with the tour.

[Alisha laughs]

Okay, let's go.

Woo! Where are we going?

[upbeat music]

[Alisha] Hello. This is the staircase.

Steeped in the- And we're just

casually walking down. We actually have a lot

of time spent in this staircase.

Josie

slid down these.

One would say I tumbled

and

got in trouble for it. I,

I, sort of, was yelled at for falling.

This is my masquerade look, it's very green.

It's got some black mesh.

Lucy Rowley does my hair and makeup and she is

just a gem, and we love our hair and makeup team.

[Josie] We love them. They are just heaven.

I remember

talking to Jenny,

who's our designer this year, and being like,

Mabel needs to get hotter.

It's time for her to just, like, be a bit sexier.

Alisha always makes fun of me because

I always end up, like, with more makeup.

[Imogen] Bulby. And Bulby by the end of it.

Like, I always sneak in- No need, I'm jealous.

I'm jealous. Sneak,

sneak in like a lip liner or something

but now I don't have to sneak it as much anymore

because I feel like they,

they're giving it to us.

This makeup look is by the wonderful Ivy Richards

and it's very gothic.

[Imogen] And you've got big hair.

Oh, yeah, the hair as well,

she does my hair as well and I've got great big hair.

That was the tour.

Thanks, allure!

Woo!

[chill instrumental music]

I'm Kristine Froseth and I play Nan St. George.

Hi, I am Jenny Rhodes-McLean

and I am the hair and makeup designer

on 'Buccaneer' season two.

Today we're getting ready for the masquerade ball.

Nan, obviously in season one, I think,

we were going for more tomboy.

She had short hair, she,

she didn't wanna

be, I guess, what a woman was supposed to be,

you know, she didn't wanna embrace

that feminine side of herself

but this time around,

you know, she's a duchess now, so things

have had to change and Jenny's had great

ideas of how that,

that keeps evolving throughout, so.

I think there's been,

like, a natural evolution

of

Nan's look

and then I think there's also,

like Nan's so smart,

she's now playing the game.

She's now realizing

that

beauty can also mean power.

She's using her beauty to, kind of, influence

and do good in the world and,

and help herself out over a couple of

situations.

I love sticking to period correct silhouettes

but then having

fun with

the texture

and having fun with the finer details.

So as long as the silhouette feels period correct,

I like to, kind of, then play around with everything else.

And then,

I love looking at

family portraits.

Oh? 'Cause-

I didn't even know that.

She does her research! [Jenny chuckles]

You should have seen the, like,

you should have seen the stack of books.

What's really interesting about this show is that

we're late Victorian but you start to see some really

cool Edwardian influences by the end of the season

and actually things changed

such a lot between the Victorian period

and the Edwardian period.

The shapes of the hair change, the silhouettes change,

there's softer waves,

we've used that a lot in the show

to, kind of, elevate the looks and

see where

fashion forward characters are, kind of, heading.

[chill instrumental music]

One of the things

that is the most important as a skin prep is hydration

and drinking water, which this girl is fantastic at.

We love the agua.

We both love to start our days with electrolytes.

We do.

With the same brand of electrolytes.

Yeah.

We knew this was gonna, we were gonna be fine

when we started, when we pulled out

the same brand of electrolytes.

That's when we knew! That's when we knew

Yeah, it was gonna be okay.

[Jenny] It's LMNT.

Highly recommend. Not sponsored.

[Jenny] Yeah. This is

my favorite thing.

[Jenny] This lights up the whole room. Yeah.

This season I've used

Kosas so much. Love Kosas.

It is

so beautiful, so buildable.

I feel like it has kept everyone's

skin so clean and clear.

It's really hydrating.

Yeah. I always break out

and I haven't broken out once because of it.

[Jenny] Yeah, I think it's,

and it looks beautiful on camera as well.

e.l.f lash extender mascara, I swear by.

Love this mascara. Yeah.

Where it's a tubing mascara and it's in brown,

which is quite difficult to, to find.

For filming as well, it just helps so much

'cause they have to wear it for so long and,

you know, we have crying scenes but sometimes

waterproof mascara can be too harsh.

We also need the ability for it to come

on and off quite quickly.

This is another favorite product.

[Jenny] Which is, this one is in

Greek, so. [laughs]

This is Homeoplasmine.

I wanna say that I'm saying that right.

It's my favorite lip balm of all time.

[Jenny] But it's, kind of, like a medicated lip balm,

it's so good, like it is so good for you.

It's got, kind of, like healing properties in it

and not just petroleum.

[chill instrumental music]

[Kristine] I think

the masquerade ball is actually my favorite look.

It really

shows

her internal

space.

It's,

kind of, also the complete opposite of her wedding look,

which I think is really cool.

She is so lost and scared but she's also so

strong and she's, kind of, letting out her fierceness

and it's, kind of, gothic and emo and I love it.

Yeah. And and I love

that Jenny was

leaning into

the emo aspects of it.

[Jenny] Yeah?

Like the dark lip.

She goes through so much

and I feel like she's always there for people

and she, kind of, handles everything so well but

I think it's nice to see her tap into her dark inner

energy.

[chill instrumental music]

[Jenny] This season,

for a multitude of reasons,

we've gone longer.

One, it was

to show a time jump,

we cut to by quite a few months.

I think it was also to just show

how Nan's

grown and how her looks been elevated.

This piece was made

to minimize time in the chair but also

to make sure that the curls were duchess perfect

and

that we could set it off of Kristine's

head and also so that we could

weave in

these really delicate beads throughout,

they're all stitched in.

This hair is needed to,

kind of, last for days and days on end.

This 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.

[Kristine] Well this is the finished look

for the masquerade ball

and this is actually my favorite look.

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

And I just, I just love the energy and how it makes me feel.

Well I'm headed to set, so thank you so much allure.
