Jenna Ortega's skin has frequently been slathered in fake blood and dirt. But the actress, whose TV and film credits include You, the Scream reboot, and The Babysitter: Killer Queen, gets to slip into the gothic skin of an iconic moody character next, taking on the lead role in Netflix's new spin on Wednesday Addams. "I'm just really, really excited for the young girls who are looking for that bit of representation right now because I still feel like it's not being done justice or shown in a way that I would like it to be onscreen," she says. As a face of Neutrogena, Ortega takes us through her beauty routine, getting impulse Wednesday Addams bangs, and playing up her freckles.
