The  X-Men: First Class DVD/Blu-ray sees release very soon on September 9.  To sell a few a more copies, Fox released a behind-the-scenes featurette that details the seven-hour process it takes to transform Jennifer Lawrence from naked to Mystique.  I can't say I loved the way the makeup looked on film, but I appreciate the effort to achieve the mutant look with practical effects over CGI.

Watch the featurette after the jump to see Ms. Lawrence be a real trooper.

And the official synopsis:

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, following the classic Marvel mythology, charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga. Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men. The film also stars Rose Byrne, Jennifer Lawrence, January Jones, Nicholas Hoult, Oliver Platt, Jason Flemyng, Lucas Till, Edi Gathegi, and Kevin Bacon. The screenplay is by Ashley Edward Miller & Zack Stentz and Jane Goldman & Matthew Vaughn.
