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.
A disgrace this ‘director’ and mediocre woman still gets jobs 😭 okay the last one was 4 years ago lol but still. Yikes. If she wasn’t thin, white and a fake feminist, this woman would be nowhere, sadly that’s how Hollywood works 😬
I think she talks a really good game. She’s all smoke and mirrors and then, when she has to do the work… pfffft. I think she’s good at hiring really talented people who make her look better than she is. But you can clearly see from DWD that even talented cast and crew can’t save a film from a horrible director and horrible script (both of which were her responsibility).
It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
