00:01All right.
00:04Hello!
00:08So what is our day usually like?
00:10How long is makeup? How long is hair?
00:13How long is tattoo cover-up?
00:15I take the least amount of time, I think.
00:17Yes, definitely.
00:18Out of the whole cast.
00:20The one thing about these witches is they are contoured.
00:24Me and Cynthia both, we love, we love a shelf.
00:28The most amazing thing about these wigs
00:31is that Gabor has plucked each hairline on my head
00:36to make sure it's like the perfect shape, you know?
00:39Glinda's makeup kind of made me transform my entire look
00:43and my entire relationship to makeup.
00:45I just love it so much.
00:47Love, love, love.
00:49There's no like thick eyeliner.
00:51There's no like heavy crease.
00:55It's just like really warm and open and pretty.
00:59And, you know, the lashes are in like a cat shape,
01:03which still gives you the like cat eye lift that I usually love,
01:08but it's also just like a more honest representation
01:10of what you look like.
01:12It's just like, oh, this is an eye.
01:14I've always loved musicals like more than anything.
01:18Like even when I would be getting ready to do a show
01:22at Madison Square Garden, like I would get ready
01:25listening to musical theater, not listening to pop music.
01:28Like it's always been such a like part of my life,
01:31such a joyous part of my life,
01:33and it's always been my favorite thing.
01:35With Glinda, she's just so over the top
01:38and so clowny and big,
01:41but the best moments are in the subtleties.
01:45So how can we honor how loud she can be and big she can be
01:50while also translating it to what works on screen?
01:54And that's been a really fun but also like intimidating
01:58part of the process because Glinda's so beloved as is.
02:04Tattoo time.
02:06I have to cover quite a bit.
02:08My hands are pretty covered,
02:10and behind my ears there's a lot.
02:14And then it depends on the costume
02:16because sometimes I wear gloves and stuff.
02:20All right.
02:22Time to go get dressed.
02:24Bye.
02:28Glinda has arrived!
02:30Yeah!
02:34Wow!
02:36Let's go, let's go.
02:38It's good to see me, isn't it?
