Benito is very easy to make look handsome.

The theme of our look is using the body, fashion, and art.

Throughout the museum,

you will see so many portraits of people at the time.

I think Benito's look mirrors a giant portrait

that you'd see on the wall

at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

His look is as a distinguished older man,

someone who's lived a life.

So I think using the skin, using the body,

using the face as art is where we're landing in a canvas.

He's a masterpiece.

Key to these things is subtlety.

If it's an alien or a creature or something like that,

no one knows what that looks like.

But when you're looking at something hyper realistic,

everyone knows what that looks like.

So this is the hardest makeup to pull off.

So these are meticulously glued on

while he's sitting in the chair.

I've enhanced his cheekbones,

making this look a little bit sunken

I've added an eye bag in here.

On the day, we glue that on.

So that's about a three hour process.

Then looking, then cutting the hair.

We did his hands.

We added knuckles and veins

and a translucency of color through the veins.

Sometimes makeups look like makeup, you know.

They look fake.

Our goal is to keep it so translucent and so realistic.

I designed something to where I use

as much of the actor's face as possible.

When they move, it's not just something

that looks aesthetically pleasing, it's a moving art.

I think once all the pieces are glued on

and we start painting the face and we start adding reds

and adding little blood vessels, adding little shadows,

that's when it really starts coming to life.

And that's when today, Benito's eyes lit up.

He's very quiet, but I saw him go, oh yeah.

He's looking in the mirror.

I saw him light up a bit.
