Practical Effects

Norwegian director Emilie Blichfeldt's debut film The Ugly Stepsister reimagines Cinderella as a body horror tale and has earned a shortlist spot for best makeup and hairstyling at the 98th Academy Awards. The movie, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year, follows the ugly stepsister Elvira's extreme body modifications to meet beauty standards. Makeup artists detail the practical effects that brought these gruesome transformations to life.
