'We used lots of Chanel highlighter in the corner of [Margot's] eye — which makes Barbie's eyes sparkle the most — and in all of the areas [that] bring the features out. For example, on top of the cheeks, around the mouth, and even on the smile lines.'
Each Barbie had to have a completely different body routine."Ryan [Gosling's] Ken was tanned," said Primorac ,"but we realized very quickly that a tan is not necessarily 'Barbie.' Every doll needed to be an individual and that's the success of Barbie — she presented as so many different people and had many different careers. We actually used a specially tailored, custom-made body makeup.
Not your average body makeup, which can easily transfer, this was mixed by an expert chemist."We couldn't risk it coming off on all of the pink and white clothing," said Primorac."That was the most laborious part, keeping everything intact." Primorac said the crew went through liters of the stuff, including highlighter and moisturizing balm for the heels of the feet."Everyone was completely finished, even behind the ears, knees, and elbows.
"Freckles were something we used in this film more than any other," said Primorac."They're super cute, even if they look slightly like they're not your own."

This makes them 3D and dimensional, rather than all the same strength in color.
