That's why Don Draper looks so smooth! Mad Men star Jon Hamm gets a clean shave up to THREE times a day on set

Jon Hamm's face feels the blades of a razor up to three times a day on the set of Mad Men to ensure that he maintains a clean-shaven look for the role of Don Draper.

Lana Horochowski, head make-up artist on the hit AMC series, revealed to OK Magazine that it's a constant battle to keep the 42-year-old's cheeks, chin and neck stubble-free - especially when filming for 'such long hours'.



But when it comes to some of the other cast members, she said, their facial hair has to be faked entirely, with the use of false mustaches, beards and wigs.

Commenting on Mr Hamm's extreme shaving regimen Dr. Peter Hino, a Dallas-based dermatologist, told Esquire.com: 'Never in my 23 years have I ever come across a time where I would recommend shaving more than once a day.



'I understand he's doing it for TV but, well, shaving that much would definitely cause irritation, razor burn, and razor bumps.'

On the make-up front, Ms Horochowski said that for men it's more about 'skin maintenance' and she only uses a tinted moisturizer to boost their appearance.

However, when it comes to the women, the beautifying process takes a lot longer.

For instance Jessica Pare, who plays Mr Hamm's on-show wife Megan Draper, gets 'crazy "Twiggy" eyelashes' applied.



'She'll wear like three sets of lashes . . . We go for it . . . She’s very 60s, ' Ms Horochowski said.

Meanwhile Christina Hendricks wears two different lip colors to play Joan Holloway - Baby Lips by Laura Mercier and True Coral by Tom Ford.

To create January Jones' character, Betty Francais (formerly Betty Draper) Ms Horochowski says she darkens the eyebrows and uses a lip liner to draw a 'pointy' upper lip, rather than a round one.

The look, she says, was inspired by Grace Kelly, although now 'we’ve gotten a little more Jackie O with her.'
