Summary

It's 2021 Emmy Awards season and we're back with another bonus episode, interviewing some of The Handmaid's Tale's incredible nominees. Today we jump back into the Zoom room with The Handmaid's Tale's head of the makeup department, Burton LeBlanc. He's been there since the beginning, so Burton has fascinating hindsight about the evolution of the 'look' of the characters, from flashbacks, to Gilead, to Jezebels, to Canada. If you're a fan of the show, there's so much in here for you. Burton is Emmy nominated for Season 4 premiere episode, 'Pigs', which offers a lot of scope - and a lot of blood. You can rewatch the box set of season 4 at SBS On Demand. Stay in touch on Twitter at #EyesOnGilead (Find us at: @anythingbutfifi / @NatalieHambly / @HaideeIreland / @Sana_Qadar)
