The practical makeup is praised for looking realistic and helping the bloody injuries land with convincing detail.

#3

The make-up effects receive emphatic praise for convincing gore that earns the film’s age rating without feeling merely splashy.

#4

Mary Woodvine’s aging makeup is convincing enough to make her difficult to recognize at first. The transformation supports the time-slip structure without feeling showy.

#5

The queens are presented with flattering lighting, polished hair, and spectacular makeup that gives the production a more glamorous finish.

#6

Makeup earns strong praise in the few places it is singled out, especially for alien creatures and practical texture. It is one of the clearest craft-level positives.

#7

The Santa transformation is generally convincing, with reviewers praising the prosthetic approach and how effectively it hides Taylor's identity. One review simply called the makeup decent rather than exceptional.

#8

The makeup and hairstyling receive direct praise as lovely, even within a deliberately anachronistic overall design.

#9

The Passenger’s hollowed, decayed look can be creepy and physically threatening, especially at a distance. The design loses impact when overexposed or paired with weak digital work.

#16

Makeup is only lightly discussed, with one review folding it into a broader criticism of the film's polished, less believable look.

#17

#18

Creature-related makeup receives negative marks where discussed, largely because its digital-looking presentation undermines believability beside stronger practical gore work.

#19

Wahlberg’s prosthetic nose and wig are repeatedly singled out as distracting, unnecessary, or outright silly. The period transformation is one of the production’s clearest visual misfires.

#20

The oversized beards, wigs, and conspicuous hair choices are memorable but often distracting. Several looks invite laughter instead of supporting the historical illusion.

#21

Makeup is criticized by one reviewer for making the lead look too clean and polished for the grim survival conditions.
