Actors Painful Prosthetics And Makeup In Disney Live Actions

Disney live-action movies feature some of the most incredible costumes, hairstyling, makeup and prosthetics that bring our favorite fairy tales to life. But wearing these iconic costumes wasn’t always easy for the dedicated actors. Angelina Jolie spent hours having her face poked and prodded to apply and remove her prosthetics as Maleficent. Lily James has to wear a corset so tight to fit into her Cinderella ball gown that people thought her waist had actually been digitally shrunk. And you won’t believe how painful those glass slippers really were.
Emma Watson loved Belle’s yellow ball gown in Beauty and the Beast, but it was deceptively thick. Meanwhile, Dan Stevens got an even worse end of the deal and had to wear a heavy muscle suit with stilts to become the beast. Emma Stone also got to experience some incredibly heavy fashions as Cruella-- she had super long trains on some of her dresses that she could barely even walk in. The award for most insane makeup might go to Alice in Wonderland, though-- Helena Bonham Carter had an entire fake forehead as the Red Queen and Johnny Depp wore crazy contacts as the Mad Hatter.
From Will Smith’s skin-tight motion capture suit and Naomi Scott’s tightest Prince Jasmine dress to Mulan’s heavy fighting outfits, costume designers like Colleen Atwood and Sandy Powell have worked real movie magic. But which Disney live-action flick do you think had the most painful costume or most uncomfortable makeup? Click play and let’s find out.

OOPS! Apologies!! We accidentally put Michelle Pfeiffer's picture in the place of makeup artist Valli O'Reilly🤭
-
The outfits Emma wore in Cruella were ICONIC
-
Belle's dress just looked like a prom dress. I can't believe they spent so much money on it and bothered to put the crystals on it that didn't even show.
-
Isn't it ironic how Cinderella didn't fit her glass shoes.
-
“She even had to let makeup artists graffiti her face!” Me: Isn’t that just makeup...?
-
give all of these actors a round of applause for how hard they worked
-
It's so sad that all that work went into Belle's dress and it looked so plain and so much of the detail was completely unnoticeable. The other dress that wasn't used looked way more loyal to the original dress.

Fun Fact: The part where Maleficent carried baby aurora in her arms in that scene Angelina looked scary so the director couldn't find any child who wants to be in her arms so they Took Angelina's daughter in that whole part baby aurora was just trying to play with her mom

Funny enough, I learned recently that corsets weren't originally made to be constricting to people. They are ment to fit your personal form and all corsets were unique to each person
-
I just saw cruella and OH MY GOSH THE COSTUMES WERE STUNNING
-
Acting is a Mentally, Bodily and Emotionally taxing journey. Not for the faint of heart. Kudos to all fairytale characters & superheroes 👌🏾
-
Every outfit Cruella wore, was amazing and suited her so well!
-
Helena Bonham Carter is such a gem. I didn’t quite realise just how many fantasy films she features in! Wow!

Issues with corsets and actresses are that they almost never wore chemise underneath and wear a corset on their bare skin-which wasn't done historically because it irritates the skin and is very uncomfortable to do. (This is done to create a 'sexier' look.) Another issue is that even if they have a corset made up to fit perfectly(which is not always the case-and then it can hurt), are timelines of wearing it. The corset is probably finished not long before production starts and the actress cannot 'break it in'. If you're new to corsets you shouldn't immediately lace it too tight, but rather adjust it over several weeks, always a bit tighter. If you do it immediately, it will be hell. That is why modern actresses state how uncomfortable and hell it was to wear corsets. Because honestly, they are doing it wrong! Because production forces them and they are not aware that it doesn't have to be painful to wear corsets-hence they don't take it against the production of the movie. Historically speaking corsets weren't so bad as we're lead to believe. But during the 19th-century changes to design meant that some women were able to tight-laced it to the extreme. So these nutcases obsessed with their looks(just as women obsessed nowadays with dieting or plastic surgery) tied corset too tight and it could have lead to injuries. Also, corsets became the social norm(woman without corset started to be seen as a bad woman) and during the 19th-century poverty grew rapidly and not everybody could afford to have a tailored corset that fitted them or even used one which was sort of ok-hence lots of poor women had ill-fitted clothes, including corset. But tight corsets are relatively new garments, unlike what historical movies show you-the women in Europe historically wore for far longer their stays-predecessor of a corset, a garment which in no way harmed anybody. On contrary, just as well-fitted corset it provided great support for the bust even to ladies well endowed in that area and hence those women had much fewer back issues. Modern bras are failing in that regard.

4:57 Ah yes, Disney's biggest wardrobe disappointment. Belle's Prom Dress
-
Honestly we don't appreciate the actors and crew and designers and make up artists enough for all the efforts they put in for each movie they present to us ..... This video was a real eye opener as to how much they endure just for us to get the perfect feeling .....a big shout out to all people in the showbiz no matter where you are
-
If the costume designers had gotten Cinderella's actor a proper corset that was tightened gradually, then it wouldn't have hurt.
-
OK I have absolutely NO idea how Emma Stone moved in these humongous dresses that looks difficult to do
-
“He was transformed by makeup artist Valli O’Rielly—” shows Michelle Pfeiffer
-
How Belle's dress got the final approval to be in the movie is a mysterie to me, it doesn't even look finished! Just plain blah!
