It was a Valentine’s evening to remember for the recipients of this year’s Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards. Winners were announced across the 19 categories in film, TV and theatre at a beautiful ceremony with over 500 guests at the Paramount Studios Theatre. Made up of over 1,900 artisans in the entertainment industry worldwide, members of IATSE Local 706 have created some of the looks for Hollywood’s most memorable characters and stars of stage, screen, television – and now the Internet.
MUAHS President Sue Cabral-Ebert presided over the awards ceremony with Wendi McLendon-Covey (The Goldbergs) serving as host. The after-party was courtesy of M.A.C. Cosmetics, with spirits presented by Patrón Tequila.
Golden Globe-winner Ron Perlman (Sons of Anarchy) presented the Distinguished Artisan Award to his long-time friend and collaborator Guillermo Del Toro. Acclaimed director John Landis presented the Make-Up Artist Lifetime Achievement Award to Oscar-winning make-up legend Rick Baker. Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) President Cheryl Boone Isaacs presented the Hair Stylist Lifetime Achievement Award to Emmy Award-winning hair stylist Kathryn Blondell.
