I always wanted to know what lens they were on, how close they were. I didn`t do it with a plan in mind, but I would instinctively gear what I was doing toward what lenses they were using.
Even colors were important to me. If it was a somber scene, the colors were muted and dark. If it was a happy or seductive scene, the colors were brighter.
Early on in my career, I`d go into the makeup trailer, and they`d spend an hour doing my makeup, and I would hate it. I`d go into the bathroom, wash it off and start over again, which took an enormous amount of time. So I just started doing it myself.
