Singer-actress Mandy Moore says her “This is Us” make-up wreaks havoc on her skin. Four hours. In the grand scheme of things, four hours isn’t really a significant chunk of time. It’s only one-sixth of the day. In that time, you can binge-watch half a season of The Office on Netflix. You can read a novel. You can run a marathon. But for Mandy Moore, four hours is the exact amount of time she spends in the makeup chair transforming into her character, Rebecca Pearson, for her career-revitalizing role on NBC’s This Is Us.
We recently sat down with Moore to chat while she was in New York City promoting her partnership with Her Life. Her Adventures., an educational campaign to help raise awareness and inspire women to know what their options are in the family-planning space, and asked the actress to walk us through her 33-year transformation. And, yes, it’s as painstakingly rigorous as we’d imagined.
