It’s no secret that makeup can drastically change a person’s appearance but Hollywood SFX makeup takes it to the next level. The makeup artists there don’t just stop with a wig and some eye shadow – they go all out.

They can even turn people into scary magical creatures, making your favorite actors almost completely unrecognizable.
