Everyone knows that actresses need to transform themselves into another character when taking on roles on the big screen. Many of these transformations include makeup, fake hair or even facial implants! Thankfully, a team of talented stylists work hard behind the scenes in order to take these actresses to a whole new level of impersonation.

Janine Ofwarren → Madeline Brewer

There isn’t a lot of room for individuality in the Handmaid’s Tale. Janine is always seen in the heavy red cloak and white hood that all of the Handmaids wear. She only has one eye from an earlier disagreement.

Brewer is almost unrecognizable when compared against her character. She has gorgeous blue eyes and a glowing smile. Here, she is casually posing, looking sexy and comfortable in her grey t-shirt.

Helen → Francesca Curran

‘Skinhead Helen’ had to undergo shaving her head and hours of makeup to get those stars in exactly the same place on her face each time they shoot a scene with her in it.

In real life, Curran is the opposite of her frightening character on the show. She is often seen with a blonde wig due to her dedication of having a shaved head for the taping of the show.
