Catherine Zeta-Jones’ make-up artist has revealed the secrets to her gothic glamour look.

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.
