Farscape makeups: Pa’u Tarleen

Zhaan leads Moya to a planet where they find a small community of Delvian refugees. But Pa’u Tahleen (Kate Raison) wants to use Zhaan’s power for her own purposes.

Another superb Farscape makeup: just look at the detailing of the airbrushing. I’m still not sure whether Delvians were conceived as bald and then a pragmatic decision was made for this episode (would any actress go bald for a single episode? how would bald-caps look alongside Zhaan?) or whether there was something special (penitential?) about Zhaan’s baldness.

Lesley Vanderwalt and Jennifer Lamphee were hair and makeup supervisors for straight makeup: Dave Elsey was creative supervisor for special effects makeup: check out Dave’s Creative Image Partnership website for more on Farscape and other great stuff.
