I think you can make a good case that Mel's bathtub scene with Selyse in S4 could have been written originally with the intention of Mel revealing her true form to Selyse when she has the whole monologue about her using misdirection and tricks to make herself more mysterious to others.
They could have been considering doing that then and Carice certainly knew this was part of Mel's background at that point because she gave an interview around that time talking about Melisandre being a lot older than she appeared. They then seemed to reconsider having the reveal happen at that time and reworked it to simply be a more straightforward conversation.

That couldn't be it. I would believe it if we actually saw Melisandre age right in front of our eyes but it wasn't the case. One day including 6h of make up on Carice? No, that is not a challenge.

Maybe the guy was exaggerating, or maybe they had intended to make it a live transformation and didn't. But after reading the interview about how the scene was done, I kind of have to agree, it didn't seem nearly as challenging as some of the make up work they've done previously for the White Walkers and tons of wights (those kids were pretty damn freaky)... Maybe because it was similar to Cersei's walk of shame where they used a body double and had to transpose Carice's head onto the body but also with the prosthetic makeup on as well. I wonder if we'll ever find out what it was.
