    Acting in makeup does not seem as easy as one’s ability to act without makeup. There have been stories of people on Star Trek for example, whom had terrible experiences. Some wanted to quit, others had bad skin reactions.

    There's makeup, and then there's having carpet laid on your face.

      Jennifer Lawrence gets a lot of shit for not being blue much after the first movie she was in but she also had a really bad reaction to the makeup

      That's why they killed off Z'an on Farscape, the blue makeup was apparently harming Virginia Hey's kidneys so she had to quit the role.

          The dude who created SEAL Team 6 helped Carrey endure the Grinch make-up is a wild tidbit to bury way so deep in an article like this

            Even in 2000, I feel like they should have been able to compromise, e.g. by doing his sclera and covering up breathing holes on the computer, but still having the rest be makeup, prosthetics and a costume.

            The article says they offered to color Carrey's eyes green with CGI but he opted for the painful contact lenses anyway.

                  I did not know who we were talking about until he said mystique

                  Okay so the blonde actress is Jennifer Lawrence that’s cool I like her role in the movies for the X-men at least other movies I’m sure too I’m sure acting with Professor x and magneto has taught her a lot

                              Fun fact: How the Grinch stole Christmas is one of three Christmas movies in history to win an Academy Award, and did so for Best makeup.

                                  Rebecca Romijn played mystique first, before the role she currently has, of Una, in star trek strange new worlds. She did it best.

                                    I have a friend that dresses as Karl Havoc every Halloween. He’s a drummer in a band and played dressed as him for a Halloween show.

                                      “But what really helped me through the makeup process, which they eventually pulled down to about three hours, was the Bee Gees. I listened through the makeup process to the entire Bee Gees catalogue. Their music is so joyful. I’ve never met Barry Gibb, but I want to thank him.”
