More than a makeup book, Beauty of the Beast is a transformation manual by
special effects makeup artist Emily Schubert. It combines expertise from
professional beauty makeup with the world of special effects and aims to provide
a full sense of how, with tools that can fit into a makeup kit, it is possible
to manipulate the human facade. Featuring an introduction to skin preparation,
facial massage, and color theory; a fold-out, illustrated toolkit detailing
everything needed to be an SFX makeup artist; step-by-step instructions to
recreating key looks, including Alive, Dead, Young, Bald, Hairy, Bony, and
Bloody; and a primer on essential skills, including how to cover a pimple, how
to cover eyebrows, how to create a scar, and many more.
