Nirvana Jalalvand, Francesco Pegoretti, and Lynn Johnston are the hair-and-makeup masterminds behind Netflix’s hit show Wednesday. To celebrate the release of the show’s highly anticipated second season, Who What Wear beauty editor Kaitlyn McLintock sits down with the team to discuss how they drew inspiration from the original black-and-white run of The Addams Family (1964) when designing the show’s color palette. They get into the changes they made from season 1 to demonstrate how our favourite Nevermore Academy students have grown since we last saw them. Plus, they tell us what products they used to create Wednesday’s signature gothic look on Jenna Ortega.

I'm Who-What-Ware, editor-in-chief Cat Callings. And today, I'm passing the mic to our beauty editor, Caitlin McClintock, who is sitting down with the hair and makeup masterminds behind Netflix's hit show Wednesday. |
| 0:50.3 | We have Nirvana Jalleland, Francesco Peggeretti, and Lynn Johnston. |
| 0:55.0 | Part two of the show's highly anticipated second season dropped earlier this month, |
| 0:58.4 | reuniting us with our favorite students at Nevermore Academy. |
| 1:02.6 | Today, you'll hear how the team designed the Adams family moody color palette and used makeup to reflect Wednesday and Morticia's shifting mother-daughter dynamic. |
| 1:08.1 | They give us the inside scoop on what products I use to create realistic dark circles on Janet Ortega for her signature gothic look, right down to the |
| 1:15.8 | exact brand of foundation. Plus, the team shares how they built on the aesthetics of season one |

| 1:54.5 | and they each have such a distinct look. So I would love to hear from each of you. How did you go |
| 2:00.0 | about creating a new and modernized |
| 2:02.5 | version while still paying homage to the original and like putting your unique spin on it aesthetically? |
| 2:10.3 | Yeah, I loved the old black and white TV series. I suppose the makeup that we've used this time is |

| 2:25.3 | and then some slightly different products so that they're in keeping with whatever way the camera is seeing things. |
| 2:30.3 | As Lynne says, I saw the first time when I was very, very young, the Black and White series after the movie with Angelica Yus. |
| 2:37.1 | I never spent in my life there once. |
