Having been in the business a while, Donna Mills learned a lot about makeup before she began on “Knots Landing.” Admitting she was too impatient to wait for a full makeup application on set, she usually did her own makeup for the series, with only final touches done by the pros right before cameras started rolling. She was particularly known for her dramatic eye looks, which included lots of eyeliner, jewel-toned shadows, and black mascara.
The actor released a makeup tutorial video in 1987 titled “The Eyes Have It” after she received a ton of fan mail asking about her techniques. “It was the simplest way to answer them,” she explained to OWN. “I did [the video] all myself — I financed it, I hired the director — and I had no idea it would be as big as it was. But it was fun.”
In 2001, Mills updated her original video, and also released “The Eyes Have It” Makeup Kit, sold through QVC and other outlets. In her video introduction, she told viewers, “The most striking part of anybody is their eyes. That’s why it’s so important to bring out the best in them, and that’s what ‘They Eyes Have It’ is all about.”
