It’s only a minor part but Comander Donatra (Dina Meyer) bucks the rule that Romulans are shifty and devious. Shame she’s still stuck with the one-wig-for-all Romulan hairstyle.
Dina Meyer was quoted regarding the makeup in an interview:
I had a prosthetic forehead that they stuck to my head. The morning makeup routine consisted of me getting my head wrapped, they make your hair pin-curled and they put your head in a wig cap, so all your hair is pulled off your face. Then you go to the makeup trailer, where they attach the prosthetic ear tips and then they pile on the makeup. When it’s sunny outside and you’re sitting with fourteen layers of slick greasepaint makeup on, it’s not comfortable.
