The film stars Elizabeth Banks, Lewis Pullman and more.

Think "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral" with cosmetics. That's the gist of "Skincare," a scrappy new thriller just hitting theaters about the murderous business of makeup.

Her fiercest enemy is rival facialist Angel Vergara , who dares to open a boutique right across the street from Hope. The nerve! What kind of dirty rotten scoundrel would want to sink Hope's skin care ship? The pretty lady is ready to kill.Hope begins her private war by guesting on the top morning TV show hosted by flirty Brett Wright . Angel joins a sleazoid suspect list that includes Brett, the mechanic Armen , concerned cop Emerson and grifter life coach Jordan .

All hell breaks loose when Hope's insults about clients, her bouts with depression and her own sexual urges go viral. The truth is, innocent Hope has been hacked, leaving her desperate to restore the image she and her business partner, Marine , have painstakingly built into a brand. Juicy stuff, especially when her career goes bust.All praise to Banks, who should be a bigger star by now.

Set in 2014 with appropriate makeup, costumes and mic drops, "Skincare" is very loosely based on the real story of Dawn DaLuise, a celebrity facialist who was brought to trial on allegations of a murder-for-hire scheme where manufactured facts can hide a multitude of sins.
