After stealing viewers’ hearts with its premiere season last fall, This Is Us has begun filming its second season, and that means more behind-the-scenes sneak peeks!

As the show takes place in both the past and present, several characters are played by different actors to accurately portray their ages throughout the series, namely the Pearson kids. As for the adults, however, the magic of makeup is there to help them out with their time jumps.

Moore noted in the video that as her character wears a wig with bangs, the artists avoid giving her forehead wrinkles as that area is covered.

She also shared the process on her Instagram story, writing, “You know what’s happening.”

“Getting older is a lot of work,” she captioned another clip.
