For Blitz Bazawule‘s film “The Color Purple,” makeup department head Carol Rasheed was tasked with creating realistic looks for Black characters in the South spanning four decades. “In the early 1900s it kind of varied,” she says of women’s makeup. “You have somebody like Shug back in that time wearing reds, and that was considered to be a loose woman. I had to think about that and bringing it up to a current situation with the re-imagined ‘Color Purple.'” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
Rasheed’s work began with a focus on the four main characters: Celie (Fantasia Barrino), Shug (Taraji P. Henson), Sofia (Danielle Brooks) and Mister (Colman Domingo). “I went through so many iterations of lip colors, just mixing and trying to get the right shade of red for Celie. My goal was to make sure all the women in the movie had a different shade of red.

“The Color Purple” director Blitz Bazawule hesitated to take on the latest incarnation of Alice Walker’s sacred text. However, when he revisited the book, the first line struck him as a way to navigate a familiar story and “keep expanding Celie’s imagination.”
In the new musical movie adaptation, as Celie (Fantasia Barrino) is bathing Shug (Taraji P. Henson), an old record plays on a gramophone in the background. But as the camera zooms in, the record player becomes a stage for Celie to express herself and her emotions. In a two-hour storyboard video film, the director had pre-visualized how Celie’s imagination would be integral to every aspect of bringing “The Color Purple” back to life.
Bazawule was speaking at Variety‘s Artisans Screening Series, where he was joined by editor Jon Poll, costume designer Francine Jamison-Tanchuck, production designer Paul D. Austerberry, cinematographer Dan Laustsen, makeup department head Carol Rasheed,...
