Kevyn Aucoin Beauty & the Beast in Me

2017 · 90 min Documentary
7.5 / 10 · TMDB

Kevyn Aucoin, the legendary makeup artist whose brushes turned faces into icons, remained an enigma himself. The film delves into the chasm between the public genius who crafted beauty for the world's biggest stars and the private demons he battled. Through archival footage and intimate interviews with family and colleagues, a portrait emerges of a man who sought acceptance through the art of transformation, yet struggled to find it for himself. It's a journey into the heart of a creator, where the magic of making others luminous coexisted with a painful fight for self-identity.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This is less a standard biographical documentary and more a poignant study of the duality inherent in artistic genius. It wisely avoids hagiography, letting the subject's own contradictions speak through the glamour of his work and the raw honesty of the interviews.

What lingers after the credits roll is a profound sense of melancholy beneath the glitter. The beautiful faces Aucoin created begin to feel like silent, magnificent masks for a deeply personal struggle. — MovieFinder Editorial
