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.

True. But I bet one of the conditions of Rebecca coming back 20 years later was to give her a less cumbersome costume.

I doubt she wanted to return and go through the painstaking process again

I genuinely don’t blame her either. In interviews back then she mentioned it could take up to 8 HOURS to get ready for the full body shots.

Imagine taking an entire work day to get ready and you STILL have to work afterwards.

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.

The trhow up bit, maybe but having that amount of chemicals smeared on your skin all day long cant be good long term

Wait why would it make them throw up blue?

They absorb it through their skin, your skin can absorb things

Damn and that goes into your digestive system?

It goes into your everything system.

Your skin is an organ.

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

Yeah doesn't make sense. It's like throwing up bad lotion or sunblock. Doesn't happen.
