Best known for her beloved turn as Dr. Arizona Robbins on Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em>, Jessica Capshaw currently leads 9-1-1: Nashville<\/em> opposite Chris O\u2019Donnell. The Ryan Murphy series has already generated major buzz and earned a second-season pickup, yet Capshaw admits the experience has been refreshingly unpredictable. \u201cYou don\u2019t really understand how wild the ride is until you\u2019re in it,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n Off-screen, her approach is just as thoughtful. Between long days on set and life at home, she\u2019s embraced a more intentional take on beauty, tweaking her routine for Nashville\u2019s heat and humidity and committing to a multi-step cleanse at night. \u201cWashing my face really helps me get back to baseline,\u201d she says. It\u2019s a grounded philosophy that carries into everything else: her podcast with Camilla Luddington, her role on Tell Me Lies<\/em> and a sense that she\u2019s fully in sync with where she is right now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been so much fun! I knew the franchise and what they were building, but until you\u2019re in it, you don\u2019t really understand how wild the ride is.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOh my gosh, it was so great. For whatever reason, the two biggest and longest-running jobs that I\u2019ve had in television, I came in after they started. They were already successful shows, and then I came in, or was added. I realized, when we got the Season 2 pickup, that I had never had that feeling before.<\/p>\n I had never experienced starting a show and not having a blueprint, not knowing, \u2018This is what people like from this show, and this is what we\u2019re doing and this is the direction we\u2019re going.\u2019 We were starting our own version of 9-1-1<\/em> from scratch.<\/p>\n The first year was complete with the ups and downs and all around. You figure out the stuff that works. You figure out the stuff that doesn\u2019t work. You figure out scheduling. You figure out life. You figure out your life at work. You figure out your life at home. You figure out all of it.<\/p>\n It was really cool to get the phone call because it meant that we got to go do it again with all the information we gathered during the first season, and hopefully make it even better.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWell, honestly, we are talking about beauty, so there\u2019s a fun to it, right? But when the beauty is for the work, it makes it more serious. It makes it a weightier topic. Yes, you have a whole different climate. Makeup and hair are different when there are extreme temperatures and different levels of humidity. For sure, we were figuring things out because you need different tools. For the makeup and hair products, we had to use different ones at different times of the year. We had to figure out how to plus or minus things in a way that catered to the elements, if you will.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes. You know what? It\u2019s like all the memes and funny things we all watch on socials. It\u2019s like what I did in my teens and my 20s, and now what I do in my 40s, is very different\u2014being that you come home with a face full of makeup in your teens and 20s, and you just go to sleep. Your face hits the pillow with all the makeup on it. Now, you use the 25-step removal\u2014all of the things!<\/p>\n In the beauty industry\u2014it seems like this at least\u2014there are just so many things<\/em> you can do now. You don\u2019t even know what is actually necessary, what\u2019s actually good, what your formula should be. It\u2019s really interesting. For me, between set and home, it\u2019s really all about cleaning. I\u2019d say there\u2019s definitely at least three to four steps in my cleaning process before my head hits the pillow.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo, it doesn\u2019t. By the way, I feel that way about makeup. It\u2019s wild. I love using makeup. Take me to a beauty store, and I am convinced that I don\u2019t have that shade of lip liner, and I need that one! Then I also definitely need that blush because it\u2019s different. Even though it\u2019s the same color, it\u2019s less creamy and not powder. I can justify any new purchase.<\/p>\n That said, I don\u2019t really wear that much makeup at once. I\u2019m just not a big makeup wearer. But, of course, you do have to wear different kinds when you\u2019re on film and television, and again, needing to wear makeup for a 15-hour day, a 14-hour day isn\u2019t really fun.<\/p>\n The removal does end up being a process, but I have what works for me down: I mix in the oil cleanser first, then the cream cleanser. Then I add an actual soapy cleanser because I find that if I don\u2019t, it doesn\u2019t all come off. The cleaning really helps me with pore size and getting to that baseline of squeaky-clean.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSpring! When I was living in California, I barely even noticed when spring arrived because the climate was moderate. Things didn\u2019t necessarily bloom. I vaguely remember people talking about allergies, but it wasn\u2019t a particularly pronounced feeling or shift.<\/p>\n Now that I live on the East Coast, it is my favorite season. It is the most glorious of glorious events that happens. I think that nature is magic in a way that I did not recognize or understand before. It begins the shift as we winter, as a verb, and now we are ready to spring. I\u2019m so excited. Everyone\u2019s outside more. The temperature is warmer. There are flowers, and the buds are starting to come on the trees. It\u2019s my favorite time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Best known for her beloved turn as Dr. Arizona Robbins on Grey\u2019s Anatomy, Jessica Capshaw currently leads 9-1-1: Nashville opposite Chris O\u2019Donnell.

You never know when you start a project if it\u2019s going to be great or not, but how did it feel when you got that call that it was already picked up for Season 2?<\/h2>\n
You\u2019re in the mix of it now\u2014filming in the South and with the Southern heat. How does that all go into your character\u2019s beauty notes?<\/h2>\n

Very interesting. I\u2019m sure you have a cleanser that you like using. Is there anything that helps you go from set back to normal life when you wrap?<\/h2>\n
Less is more. Using all the things doesn\u2019t really work.<\/h2>\n
A finely tuned process! Now that we\u2019re in April, what else are you excited for this spring?<\/h2>\n
