New Looks for the Liars:
The Liars will look a little different after the five year time jump. The girls will all undergo makeup, hair and wardrobe changes.Cameron Dale is the new costume designer who is taking over this season (Mandi Line was the costume designer for previous seasons). Cameron Dale said that the one thing the girls all asked for was less jewelry and smaller jewelry. Guess they were sick of all the big earrings they had to wear in previous seasons.
Emily will come back to Rosewood with a beachier vibe. Aria has always had a colorful wardrobe, so they wanted to have Aria keep that colorful look.
Makeup artist Cindy Miguens wanted to create an adult version of the Liars. She decided to use less make up on Lucy Hale and Ashley Benson, since their characters wore a lot of makeup in high school. She created a darker look for Shay Mitchell because Emily had been living in California. And she decided to give Troian Bellisario a more sophisticated, classical look for Spencer's transformation. She wanted Spencer to wear more makeup than the other Liars, since Spencer wore the least makeup in high school. (Check out Cindy Miguens's makeup tutorial for Aria's eye makeup).
