The Barbie doll, full name being Barbara Millicent Roberts, is a doll of a female woman that launched to the world on March 9th in 1959 by Mattel Incorporated. Barbie’s physical appearance was designed from a German cartoon character known as the Bild Lilli doll that was made in 1955.

Hitting consumer demand in 1961, Mattell brought out what turn out to be a gamechanger for the business - Barbie’s ‘accessory’ boyfriend, Ken. He rocketed to fame being featured with Barbie in sets, movies and posters ever since.

Sally Marie & Lucy Morris Spellbound Magazine Editor-in-chiefs

For Sally, she grew up with Barbie being her entire childhood world. Sally’s easily favourite Barbie girl is one specific doll that was made in 1983 - a puffy 80’s sleeves accent of the gown of 1983’s Loving You Barbie. This Barbie captured her heart forever.

Lucy’s love for Barbie stemmed from her love for movies - with Barbie of the Swan Lake (2003) topping first with Barbie and the Nutcracker (2001) coming second and finally, Barbie as Rapunzel (2002) coming last.

In this issue, we cover the latest news from Mattel and Warner Bros Studios as Margot Robbie stars in 2023’s rendition of Barbie. To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you’re a Ken. After being expelled from Barbieland for being a less than perfect-looking doll, Barbie sets off for the human world to find true happiness.

Joining us in this issue’s behind-the-cover feature, is Barbie girl and makeup artist, Danielle Milnes. Danielle specialises in bridal make-up primarily, however, has make the recent jump into creative make-up - coming up with creations such as the Barbie look, a Roman-esque statue look, and a Marianne Antoinette look. Find out more of her journey and the story behind-the-cover.

To wrap up, the Spellbound Magazine team looks forward to welcoming you back next month with a magical experience as we step into the world of practical magic with spell books, magical objections and exploration we can’t wait to see you there witches and wizards!

BEHIND-THE-COVER THE BARBIE ISSUE - WITH MAKEUP ARTIST DANIELLE MILNES

‘W

elcome, Danielle, and congratulations on making the front cover of this month’s Spellbound Magazine, The Barbie issue.

Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions!

SBM: What inspired you to get into the creative industry, was there a specific reason or person who pushed you into becoming a make-up artist.

SBM: Please introduce yourself to our readers, describing a little bit about yourself and your journey as a makeup artist.

DM: I have always been inspired to enter the creative industry as I just love to create individual, unique looks that really stand out, and I feel that it allows me to let my imagination run and create eccentric looks that you wouldn’t necessarily see from day to day. I also feel that doing these looks allow me to showcase my work to an audience that will really appreciate what I create.

DM: I’ve been in the makeup industry for the last 9 years and specialise in bridal makeup, I love my job and love to make brides feel great on their wedding day. I have always had a passion for creative makeup and have pursued this as a hobby until recently. Since venturing more into creative makeup, I have hosted photography workshops, allowing photographers to have the opportunity to create some amazing images from my work. I like to be unique and create stand out images with my work. I work a lot with Joanne Place of creative images, as I love her photography work and her ability to capture my work perfectly.

FAIRYTALES & FANTASY

SBM: We can see from your work that you do a range of different types of make-up, for example, bridal as well as creative editorials, do you have a favourite kind of make-up that you like to do?

DM: I love carrying out all types of makeup applications and they all have their own individual benefits.

Continued DM: For example, bridal makeup allows me to be part of someone’s special day, visit and work inside some amazing venues, and make the bride feel great on her big day, whereas creative makeup allows me to really use my imagination to create unique looks and work alongside other individuals with the same interests in creating those magazine worthy shots.

I love the opportunities that makeup brings such as meeting lovely people and building a network of friends and suppliers within the industry.

SBM: What do you love most about being a make-up artist?

DM: What I love the most about been a makeup artist is that proud, rewarding feeling as I can see people feel good about themselves when they look in the mirror and you can see their confidence lift suddenly and shine through.

SBM: We can see that you have created a lot of exciting make-up looks such as the Barbie, the Roman statue, and the Antoinette look, do you have a favourite look that you have created, and why?

DM: If I had to choose from the work I’ve done and the looks I’ve created so far, I would say my favourite look is the Barbie due to the fact that the shoot was so fun to create.

Also, up there with my favourite looks would have to be the 18th century work combining makeup and fashion. I love history and I look to buildings, paintings, and appliqué for makeup inspiration.

SBM: In regard to your Barbie look, what inspired you to create this look?

DM: I would say that my main source of inspiration for the Barbie look is Lady GaGa’s music videos, this is due to the fact I love how she is unique and stands out from the crowd. I wanted to also create something unique, I wanted to make my own headdress and I thought the perfect one to make would be a lipstick headdress, Barbie loves lipstick, it’s girly and stays in line with the theme of it being a cosmetic.

SBM: We can see that you have used a range of different make-up tricks to create such a convincing outcome such as using lower lashes to give the look a doll-like feel. Can you tell us more about ways you made the character of Barbie come to life with makeup?

DM: I wanted to try to make it as convincing as possible, and so to replicate Barbie, I decided to apply both top and bottom lashes, and have them oversized to create that perfect ‘Doll look’. I also used deeper shadows in the socket line and kept the shadow lighter on the eyelids to really open up and exaggerate the eyes to look more doll like. I used a long blonde wig, complemented it with a bright pink lipstick, keeping in line with the classical Barbie look.

SBM: Have you always been interested in experimenting with make-up to create different looks and outcomes?

DM: Yes, I have always had a passion for makeup and love to experiment with new makeup products to create different looks. I also like to experiment with various makeup application techniques in order to create a different outcome. This is what I love about makeup, you can use the products in a new way to create a completely different look and it is really exciting to experiment with. I’m always keen to learn new skills.

SBM: As well as the make-up we can see for the Barbie looks, you also had a hand in creating some of the other elements to the look such as the clothing and accessories, could you elaborate more on how you created these pieces?

DM: I purchase my materials from various sources including craft stores and online shops. As the work is creative and unique, the materials can be literally anything, all you need is a little imagination to turn them into something special! I love the challenge of hunting around to find the materials to make the outfits and matching props.

SBM: What projects are you working on next, and is there anything you can share with us on what your projects are going forward?

DM: As for my projects going forward, I am excited to be looking more into body paint looks, adding to my portfolio of 18th century looks, and creating gods and goddesses. I love advant garde makeup and body painting.

SBM: Where can our readers keep up with your work?

DM: If anyone would like to follow my work and see what looks I’m creating next, they can keep up to date on Instagram under danimilnes.creativeworkshop or on my website www.creativemakeup.co.uk where I am currently writing a creative blog which will be release soon, and updated on a regular basis.

MAIN FEATURE - THE BARBIE MOVIE 2023

BARBIE 2023 - IN THEATERS JULY 21ST 2023

To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you’re a Ken.

From Oscar-nominated writer/director Greta Gerwig (“Little Women,” “Lady Bird”) comes “Barbie,” starring Oscar-nominees Margot Robbie (“Bombshell,” “I, Tonya”) and Ryan Gosling (“La La Land,” “Half Nelson”) as Barbie and Ken, alongside America Ferrera (“End of Watch,” the “How to Train Your Dragon” films), Kate McKinnon (“Bombshell,” “Yesterday”), Michael Cera (“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” “Juno”), Ariana Greenblatt (“Avengers: Infinity War,” “65”), Issa Rae (“The Photograph,” “Insecure”), Rhea Perlman (“I’ll See You in My Dreams,” “Matilda”), and Will Ferrell (the “Anchorman” films, “Talladega Nights”). The film also stars Ana Cruz Kayne (“Little Women”), Emma Mackey (“Emily,” “Sex Education”), Hari Nef (“Assassination Nation,” “Transparent”), Alexandra Shipp (the “X-Men” films), Kingsley Ben-Adir (“One Night in Miami,” “Peaky Blinders”), Simu Liu (“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”), Ncuti Gatwa (“Sex Education”), Scott Evans (“Grace and Frankie”), Jamie Demetriou (“Cruella”), Connor Swindells (“Sex Education,” “Emma.”), Sharon Rooney (“Dumbo,” “Jerk”), Nicola Coughlan (“Bridgerton,” “Derry Girls”), Ritu Arya (“The Umbrella Academy”), Grammy Award-winning singer/ songwriter Dua Lipa and Oscar-winner Helen Mirren (“The Queen”).

Gerwig directed “Barbie” from a screenplay by Gerwig & Oscar nominee Noah Baumbach (“Marriage Story,” “The Squid and the Whale”), based on Barbie by Mattel. The film’s producers are Oscar nominee David Heyman (“Marriage Story,” “Gravity”), Robbie, Tom Ackerley and Robbie Brenner, with Michael Sharp, Josey McNamara, Ynon Kreiz, Courtenay Valenti, Toby Emmerich and Cate Adams serving as executive producers.

Gerwig’s creative team behind the camera included Oscar-nominated director of photography Rodrigo Prieto (“The Irishman,” “Silence,” “Brokeback Mountain”), six-time Oscar-nominated production designer Sarah Greenwood (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Anna Karenina”), editor Nick Houy (“Little Women,” “Lady Bird”), Oscar-winning costume designer Jacqueline Durran (“Little Women,” “Anna Karenina”), visual effects supervisor Glen Pratt (“Paddington 2,” “Beauty and the Beast”), music supervisor George Drakoulias (“White Noise,” “Marriage Story”) and Oscarwinning composer Alexandre Desplat (“The Shape of Water,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel”).

Mattel Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) and Warner Bros. Pictures Group announced the partnership to bring the world-renowned Barbie franchise to theaters in its first ever live-action feature film, starring Academy Award-nominated actress Margot Robbie as Barbie. Robbie will also co-produce the film under her LuckyChap Entertainment Banner, alongside Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara from LuckyChap Entertainment.

Barbie marks the first announced deal coming out of Mattel’s newlyestablished Mattel Films, led by Academy Award®-nominated producer Robbie Brenner, as well as the first collaboration between Mattel Films and Warner Bros. Pictures.

Ynon Kreiz, Chairman and CEO of Mattel said: “Barbie is one of the most iconic franchises in the world and we are excited to partner with Warner Bros. Pictures and Margot Robbie to bring her to life on the big screen. We look forward to building on this collaboration with Warner Bros. Pictures as we tell the stories of our beloved brands. Mattel Films is on a path to demonstrate the enormous potential of our brand portfolio, as we continue to execute on our strategy of transforming Mattel into an IP-driven, high performing toy company.”

“This project is a great start to our partnership with Ynon and Mattel Films,” said Toby Emmerich, Chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group. “And, Margot is the ideal producer and actress to bring Barbie to life on screen in a fresh and relevant way for today’s audiences.”

Margot Robbie said: “Playing with Barbie promotes confidence, curiosity and communication throughout a child’s journey to self-discovery. Over the brand’s almost 60 years, Barbie has empowered kids to imagine themselves in aspirational roles from a princess to president. I’m so honored to take on this role and produce a film that I believe will have a tremendously positive impact on children and audiences worldwide. I can’t imagine better partners than Warner Bros and Mattel to bring this film to the big screen.”

Warner Bros. Pictures Presents a Heyday Films Production, a LuckyChap Entertainment Production, a Mattel Production, “Barbie.” The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and released in theaters only nationwide on July 21, 2023 and beginning internationally on July 19, 2023.

MAIN FEATURE - BARBIECORE WITH WAYFAIR

BARBIECORE...CELEBRATE THE FILM OF SUMMER 2023 WITH YOUR VERY OWN GARDEN PARTY Produced by Wayfair With the highly-anticipated Barbie film set to hit cinema screens in July, there’s no better time to start planning your own 80s-style pink party and get on board with this summer’s latest craze for #Barbiecore.

pink and white striped beach towels and refreshing drinks to while away the hours in the sun. Why not add in some inflatables, too, to really ramp up that poolside vibe!

Creative interiors stylist, Laurie Davidson (@lifeofaninteriorstylist) has teamed up with Wayfair to showcase how to create your very own Barbiethemed garden party. From pink mocktails and cocktails at the outdoor bar, to photobooth moments, make the most of your outdoor space this summer with a theme that’s made for fun!

- Have fun creating your own pretty-in-pink bar area, with an inspired drinks menu, cocktails on tap and, of course, plenty of pink! Large glass drinks dispensers are ideal for guests to help themselves, while bar carts on wheels are handy to roll to wherever you need them.

Laurie’s top styling tips...

- Greet guests with shapely furniture pieces and fun accessories in varying shades of pink, from bright fuchsia and hot magenta to bubblegum or candycoloured pink, adding in small pops of sea blue and sunshine yellow for a sweetie-style colour palette that looks good enough to eat.

- A pergola is ideal for offering shade when needed–why not hang some hotpink sheer curtains from it to set the scene? Layer up outdoor rugs, add in a statement pink sofa or armchairs and voila... your own Barbie-style garden set.

- Your outside space may not have the luxury of a pool, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy poolside chic. Invest in some cool Miami-style loungers,

- Outdoor lights that look like indoor lamps are bang on trend this summer, so opt for some LED or solar-powered designs to cast a glow once the sun goes down.

- Artworks aren’t just for indoors–hang a selection of slogan prints and pictures outside for a fun feature. Don’t forget, if they’re not under cover, you may need to invest in a canopy to keep them in good condition until the end of summer. You can always go all out and paint your fence panels or an exterior wall too.

- Put together a wow-factor background to pose against and take snaps with friends. Use one of Wayfair’s decorating arches to create a balloon or floral arch and don’t forget some dressing-up props to have fun with!

With thanks to Laurie Davidson and Wayfair.

1623- 2023: 400 YEARS OF THE PALACE OF VERSAILLES

In 2023, the Palace of Versailles celebrates its 400th anniversary. For four centuries, the Palace has held a unique place in history and in our collective imagination. To celebrate this anniversary, we offer a diverse array of public programming, including the re-opening of the Gallery of the History of the Palace, scheduled for September.

This anniversary year is an invitation to revisit the long history of the Palace and its Estate.

1623: THE BIRTH OF A MYTH NAMED VERSAILLES Though Henry IV appreciated the game-rich forests of the modest hamlet of Versailles, it was his son, Louis XIII, who selected this location for a hunting lodge that he took full ownership of in 1623. A few years later, he had a grander palace built on the site of the pavilion. This palace, more comfortable and better decorated, was more fitting for prerogatives of the royal office. It was in this palace that the future Louis XIV, still a child, spent a few nights around 1640.

Needless to say, we have the Sun King to thank for the Palace we see today. To show the magnificence of his reign to all Europe, in 1661 Louis XIV took his father’s modest palace and transformed it into one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. He installed his Court there in 1682. His successors, Louis XV and Louis XVI, remained very attached to this location.

In the 19th century, despite the upheavals of several successive regimes in France, Versailles remained a powerful political symbol. Emptied of its furniture since the Revolution, in 1837 Louis-Philippe transformed it into a museum “dedicated to all the glories of France.” The current purpose of the palace thus defined, Versailles continued to play its role in the history of the 19th and 20th centuries, from the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871, to the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. In addition, we must not forget Rockefeller’s donation that helped save and preserve the Estate in the 1920s.

A RENOVATED GALLERY OF THE HISTORY OF THE PALACE In honor of this exceptional anniversary, the museum is currently undertaking a complete renovation of the Gallery of the History of the Palace, which will reopen to the public in September 2023. This gallery will serve as an introduction to a visit to the Palace, covering four centuries of the history of Versailles, tracing, up to today, the transformations of a palace in continuous flux. The new layout, rich in artworks and objets d’art and complete with a digital interface, will allow the visitor to peek into the splendors of a bygone Versailles, and to better understand the architectural masterpiece that we know today.
