At the end of The Mummy Returns when the wife dies. She hardly had any makeup left on her face because of her journey and adventures before her death. Then, when she comes back to life, she has a lot more makeup on. I didn't know dead people could apply makeup!
I'm surprised that she managed to keep her make-up perfect throughout her search for her son! Their adventure seemed to last for days and days, and still her eye make-up remained perfect! How does she do it? I don't think that she'd have taken her make-up along with her. "Just tell my son to hang on a bit longer while I apply my make-up."
Mmmmk. Yeah, actors need a lot of make-up when in front of a camera. Cameras accentuate every flaw on your face, so as a result, they have make-up and hair people standing on the side, ready to jump in at any given moment between takes to re-puff, blush, and eye-line the actors as needed. So, it's not really her fault. They must have re-done her make-up between takes.
