Nikki Reed reveals New Moon makeovers – VIDEO

With a bigger budget and and a new director (Chris Weitz), we can expect a few changes in "New Moon," the sequel to last year’s vampire flick "Twilight." 

Nikki Reed, who plays Rosalie Hale in both "Twilight" and "New Moon," says things got a little dicey for the characters while filming the first movie.

"We all had hours of hair and makeup in the morning, and then when we showed up on set, it was raining. And because we are vampires, we can’t shoot in the sun! So, we were always shooting when it was cloudy, and then there was hail, and the makeup was pouring off. It was an experimental process — now, I think, we are more prepared."

Reed said the characters will grow in "New Moon," not only by furthering the storyline, but by their looks, too. "I think we are always striving to better ourselves. And the fact that we are all vampires in the first place … of course we are going to look unnatural. [But in the first film], all of us looked unnatural."

The actress said she’ll be trying out wigs rather than constantly dying her hair. "It took 36 hours initially to make me blond, and every other day, I was bleaching my head and my skin. This time around, we are testing out different wigs and stuff."
