Jessica Chastain’s reincarnation as famed TV preacher Tammy Faye Becker in the biographical drama “Tammy Faye Eyes” has caused irreparable damage to the actress’ skin. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, the Golden Globe winner (“Target One”) revealed that the process of becoming Faye took an average of four hours, with the longest session lasting more than seven hours, and the makeup itself was “heavy.”

“I think I must have done some irreparable damage to my skin with that,” Chastain said in particular, emphasizing that she eats very properly and takes care of her skin. – When you wear a ton of makeup all day every day, it stretches your skin. When I finally washed my face, I thought, ‘I look 50 years old!”

Chastain eventually agreed that it was okay because “it’s all about the art,” but admitted that the very first test makeup “scared her a lot” and made her wonder if she could even play with it all on her face.

“People think it’s easier than it really is, but it’s not. You have to make the makeup work for you, and to do that you have to get through it. Faye was incredibly emotional, and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to convey emotion when it was all on me. Would I be able to perceive people and feel free? I just had to get used to it.”

Chastain recalled a day when she spent seven and a half hours in her dressing room, “having panic attacks and heat attacks” because what she was wearing was heavy and hot. The actress said she had “no energy left” when she got to the set that day, which was a bit of a problem for her because Faye has always “been a real bundle of energy.”

The drama “Tammy Faye’s Eyes” will be released worldwide on September 19, 2021.
