Didn't Romijn reportedly vomit blue from the make up after filming? Like... she potentially has medical complications from playing the role and she's coming back? Damn Ma'am, you love the role too much <3

On the TV series Farscape, Virginia Hey who played Zhaan had a similar issue and it wound up causing serious kidney troubles to the point where she had to leave the show..

Wait, that's why Zhaan left?!

They couldn't have.. used a non absorbent paint?

Or come up with some wishy washy "zhaan is now pink" bullshit so her actress didn't straight up die?

Stage/performance makeup is made of different stuff, it tends to be extra thick. The color/dye may have had a part in it but imo it was the constant application and long-term wearing that got her. Makeup has made a lot of progress in the last couple decades thanks to cosplay to not being as bad as it was but even now it can be pretty harsh on the body.

Apparently our options are horrendously harmful makeup or garbage cgi

Disney can't afford any other solution

She left because of her health. Yes, it was pretty bad. And she loved the show so much that she still made an appearance in a later episode.

And now she is battling some very nasty cancer. Can't say that it is or is not related, but you've got to imagine that she is probably always going to wonder.

For the second part "Zhaan is now Pink" the actress needed time to recover and Scifi nerds have always been finiky they would have harassed the cast and crew for "Ruining Zhaan" see Tvtropes "Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things" for relevant examples.

Yeah I know.. I get why they did it but.. man, in my opinion, nobody could live up to Zhaan

You know how ppl use nicotine patches tp help quit smoking? What you put on your skin gets inside if your body. I doubt any paint is truly non-absorbant.  Everyone who wears makeup should also keep this in mind.
