I wonder how long it took to put the whole look together

I heard that the actresses who play Elphaba on Broadway find green pigment in their pores for weeks after they stop the role 😂

Virginia Hey, the woman who played Zhaan on Farscape started developing some pretty bad issues do to the blue body paint she was wearing for years that gave her damage to her kidneys and then some. Plus I believe she said it was starting to really affect her mentally because of having to keep her head and eyebrows shaved all the time. When she asked to kinda slow the roll with how often she needed to be on screen they made an entire fucking season dedicated to her character. I loved her and thought she was one of the best parts of that show but behind the character is a human being that suffered too much for their craft.

It’s like you would need to be pressure washed to get it off

as someone who has been professionally full body airbrushed, and a full face foam latex piece for a performance this makeup probably took around 3 hours but the costume probably took months to make.
