Catherine Zeta-Jones' make-up artist reveals her secret to gothic glamour
The actress turned heads at the premiere of Wednesday season two in London this week (30.08.25) and now Brett Freedman has revealed exactly how he created her striking make-up.
Brett told WWD he started with a case of Farmhouse Fresh's Cactus Comfort Moisturizer followed by Aleph foundation and Mac Blot Powder and then used Giorgio Armani's Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in shade 42 on Catherine's cheeks.
To create Catherine's smokey eyes, Brett turned to Makeup by Mario's Master Mattes Palette and Victoria Beckham's Satin Kajal Liner in bronze which was finished with Ardell's Naked Lash number 421 and Lash Clusters false lashes.
He told the publication: "I wanted to glisten up her lash line. This [eyeliner] pencil has the creamiest slide; it's like a precision cream shadow."
The look was finished with a plumb lipstick, with Brett adding: "For Catherine, this is definitely out of the box for her, but also feels right in a strange way."
Brett also made sure Catherine's body also had a fresh glow so he used Farmhouse Fresh's Whoopie Cream Shea Butter and the brand's Golden Gleam Serum.
He added: "Zeta-Jones was showing so much skin I wanted to amp up the light catching shine, but not get too slick or bronzed. Golden Gleam is skin care, but it's also an amazing luminizer for the face and body."
Catherine plays Morticia Addams in hit Netflix show Morticia Addams and Brett revealed the actress previously worried about looking too much like her character when promoting the show, but had decided to lean into the look a bit more this time around.
He explained: "I will say for the first season, they were like: 'Oh, you know, nothing too Goth.' She [Zeta-Jones)] didn't want to look like Morticia.
"She had lightened up her hair a touch, and was doing tons of waves. We were making her a little bronzy, just doing anything to lighten it up and have a little separation."
The premiere took place at Central Hall in London's Westminster with the stars walking a purple carpet instead of the traditional red.
Catherine wore a couture gown by Stéphane Rolland and took along her 10-year-old niece Ava Zeta as her date.

Catherine Zeta-Jones hails 'amazing' Jenna Ortega
Catherine Zeta-Jones thinks Jenna Ortega is "amazing". The 55-year-old actress stars alongside Jenna, 22, in the new season of Wednesday, and Catherine has praised her co-star's professional approach to their sword fight scene. She told People: "We did rehearse it. It's like choreography and stunts. "You know, we have to be careful. These are real weapons we're working with." Catherine observed that Jenna made time in her busy schedule so that they could prepare properly for the scene. The actress - who plays Morticia Addams on the hit Netflix show - said: "She'd find time in her schedule, which is a much bigger schedule than mine, to come and rehearse with me, and then we worked it with the stunt coordinator, and it turned out really fabulous." Catherine has also praised Luis Guzman, who plays Gomez Addams, for his pre-shoot preparations. The duo teamed-up to perform a tango, and Catherine revealed that Luis "just really worked hard". She shared: "We used to rehearse the four scenes outside, dodging the rain, sometimes in Ireland, in gravel to keep it every day, to keep it fresh. Because, of course, we learned it at the beginning of the show. We weren't shooting it for weeks, three months later. So to keep it fresh and to remember our moves every now and again, we just jump together and we do it. And we laughed." Meanwhile, Jenna previously revealed that she became an "unhappy person" after season one of Wednesday. The actress plays Wednesday Addams in the Netflix show, but Jenna initially struggled to cope with the pressures of fame and success. She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person. "After the pressure, the attention - as somebody who's quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary." Jenna now serves as a producer on Wednesday and she's loving the experience of having a hands-on role with the show. Jenna - who has become one of the most sought-after stars in Hollywood in recent years - said: "I sit in on meetings and listen and learn. I'm still finding my footing in that area."
