A24 has released Beauty of the Beast, a “transformation manual” by special effects makeup artist Emily Schubert (Super Dark Times, Good Time). Priced at $44, the 8x11 book features an embossed gloss-laminated softcover.
It contains 180 pages of step-by-step instructions recreating for key looks, including alive, dead, young, old, bald, hairy, bony, and bloody; along with a primer on essential skills like creating a scar, removing tattoos, faking swat, covering pimples, applying a bald cap, applying a prosthetic; and more.
More than a makeup book, Beauty of the Beast is a transformation manual by special effects makeup artist Emily Schubert. Learn how to create a scar, remove a tattoo, and make someone look decades younger—or like a corpse. Based on Schubert’s years of experience in the film industry, this book is both a crash course in the world of SFX makeup and a portal into how you can manipulate the human face to tell a story.
It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
