The actress mentioned that sometimes Violet checks in with her before she leaves the house to ensure her makeup is appropriate, and if it's not, Jennifer advises her to tone it down. Navigating Violet's teenage years has been a learning process for the actress, who acknowledged the challenges of adolescence.

While discussing Violet's interest in makeup, the actress reflected, "I think it's probably extra complicated when you literally were nursed in the makeup chair as an infant, and have grown up sitting in your mom's lap while she got her makeup done your whole life."
