Frances Hannon, the makeup and hair designer on Wicked: For Good , has revealed why Glinda 's (Ariana Grande) controversial strip lashes were used for a very specific reason.

"For Ari, we really went much stronger around the eyes," Hannon told Allure . "With the lashes, my intention was, and I think it really worked…It brought her [eyes] forward and gave her a maturity with the paler hair.

"It's a subtle change, but you really feel that there is something much more grown-up about her. We didn't go for big, strong eye makeup, shapes, or colours. The real change was in the strength of the lashes and the depth of the eyes."

"By staying with soft and muted colours, with a subtle brow and not making it very arched, I hope [the timeless quality is] what comes through," she explained.
