Description:

Scp-xxx is what seems to be a makeup box, it has black velvet all around the wooden surface accompanied by golden arabesques in each of the 4 edges, the lock of this box is a black latch, thus appearing to be from the Baroque era.

Scp-xxx was found by members of the foundation after furious civilians set fire to an old abandoned house in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), with the intention of destroying the box, as they believed that it was because of the contents of the box that bad things happened in the neighborhood they lived in.

When opened the box reveals several items of makeup, such as lipsticks, blushes, eyeshadows and a small bottle of pink perfume, the last item has not yet been tested.

The makeup inside Scp-xxx appears to be normal until its first use, tests show that this makeup can give any desired appearance as long as it is a human face, however, the user of this makeup can develop after some uses personality disorder, paranoia, obsession with the box, and even killer thoughts, This last one (Killer thoughts) was observed in tests done with the D-class subjects, specifically, who chose to have the face of some celebrity.

After discovering that these were not their original faces, patients swore that they were not "clones" and were observed planning to murder the celebrity and take his place.

Although not alive, SCP-xxx recognizes that it is in a new environment, as it has been observed to change the colors of the makeup, to be more appealing to its victims.

Addendum:

Tests done with color blinds showed that the colors seem to ignore the visual impairment of these patients and blind people describe the smell of the open box as being sweet and nostalgic.
Scp- xxx does not have a gender preference for human or age. However it only seems to open its lock when called "her", when called "it" it closes and does not open until it is called "her" again.
