Bryan Cranston's Makeup Trick Apparently Went Very, Very Wrong

Bryan Cranston shares a makeup removal hack that backfired spectacularly: after using purple eyelid makeup during a theatrical performance, he was left with stubborn pink stains that drew unwanted attention around town. A friend suggested applying Vaseline under the makeup before applying it to help it wipe off cleanly—but on opening night, the Vaseline liquefied under the hot stage lights and seeped directly into his eyes, leaving him temporarily unable to see and causing backstage panic.
