Christian Bale and Todd Haynes in feather boas


In between the shooting of Velvet Goldmine and the release of it Christian Bale pumped up for the role of Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, so you can see his arms are not anything like Arthur's here.

Fetching to be sure, but it does look like they applied their makeup themselves. They might have benefited from Shawn Haynes, Todd's brother, who introduced a makeup line called The Velvet Goldmine Collection. It included Stardust a silver and gold glitter body cream, lip glosses in the colors Demon, Laser, Pluto, Jupiter, and Venus. The shadow collections were named Satellite, Starship, Moonrise and Ladytron. And the silver packaging declared, "Tested on Rock Stars - Not Animals." Although no longer available, Shawn has had success with other makeup lines and we'll probably hear from him again.

In general, 1998 enjoyed a glam revival of sorts since the fashions of the 70s were in another cycle of revival and there was a lot of glitter to be found in nearly every makeup line.
