They’re the first ones that actors see when they start their day and get ready to go on set – we’re talking about the influential make-up artists and hairstylists. On Saturday, Feb. 19, celebrities gathered together to celebrate and honor the impeccable work of make-up artists and hairstylists at the 9th Annual Make-Up Artists and Hairstylists (MUAHS) Guild Awards, which took place live at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Make-up artists and hairstylists are true visionaries whose work allows us all to step inside another world and truly feel immersed within a project. The MUAHS Awards, presented by HASK Beauty, was a star-studded event recognizing the best of the best in beauty in 23 categories of film, television, commercials, and live theater.

The big winners of the night in the motion pictures categories included Being the Ricardos, Coming 2 America, and Cruella. American Horror Stories, Dancing with the Stars, Emily in Paris, Pose, Genius: Aretha, and Star Trek: Discovery were among the winners in the television series categories. Saturday Night Live, Dancing with the Stars, and Legendary were awarded for the categories in Television Special/Motion Picture Made for Television.

The special night also honored entertainment powerhouse and Academy Award-winning filmmaker Jon Favreau with the Distinguished Artisan Award. Favreau received the award virtually at the prestigious event. The MUAHS Awards also celebrated renowned actor, Doug Jones with the first-ever Chair Award. Jones is known for his unrivaled work portraying non-human creatures, which relies heavily on the work of make-up artists and special effects. Jones has shared his talent in a countless amount of projects including Star Trek: Discovery, Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy, and The Shape of Water, to name a few.

In addition, pioneering artists in the world of beauty were recognized at the event including Christina Smith, who received the Vanguard Award, and Michèle Burke and Joy Zapata who both received Lifetime Achievement Awards. Smith has exhibited her brilliant work in projects including Cabaret, Schindler’s List, and Steel Magnolias.

Emmy-winning hairstylist Joy Zapata has wowed audiences with her work in A Star is Born, Wonder Woman 1984, Star Trek: Nemesis, and many more.
