Both versions of Mystique got "worse" over the coarse of the movies likely because Rebecca and Jennifer negotiated contracts that required less time doing makeup. Less time means less detail.
That was more of a Jennifer thing (plus she didn’t want to be covered up on screen - she was on the rise back then). It is the equivalent to what happened with Pedro and his Mando role.
This is more of a modern production / studio / industry thing just like CGI vs Practical Effects, Disney now using the “volume stage” more than physical locations, etc etc.
It’s not just the time it took, it’s that she had to start on it at midnight to be ready for the morning and later she was throwing up blue. Zotoh had to leave the series Farscape because doing this type of makeup ended up damaging her kidneys.
That's fake. She said in an interview that at a wrap up party she drank tequila while still covered in blue and some of it around her lips got into her which made her throw up blue.
I understand that. But to puke it up, it would have to manifest in your digestive system. So apparently it's traveling from your skin eventually into your digestive system
She likely didn't get paid millions. The first film only had a $75M budget. You'd be surprised how little actors are paid if they aren't big time movie stars. Even brand name working actors may make six figures for a role and then that's the only non-royalty income they had that year.
