‘SNL’ Hair and Makeup Team on How They Tackled Glittery JoJo Siwa Makeup and Emma Stone’s Sleazy Record Producer Look in Season 49


A 'SNL' hair stylist and makeup artist talk how they crafted Season 49 looks, like Chloe Fineman as JoJo Siwa and Emma Stone as a record producer.

When the “ Saturday Night Live ” hair and makeup departments are brought a skit for that upcoming weekend, they usually have around two days to form an idea of what they want to do with the actors involved, make it into something tangible and execute it. When Chloe Fineman appeared as JoJo Siwa in her new look on a “Weekend Update” in May, Zakarian says he and his team had to figure out how to come up with the glittery black makeup in just under one day. When Emma Stone hosted in December 2023, she played Mitch Lester, a sleazy record producer for singer Cass Elliot (played by cast member Chloe Troast) in “Make Your Own Kind of Music.” The character boasted a fluffed-up salt and pepper wig, complete with a sparse mini-mustache and cigarette everlastingly in hand.
