by Amos Semien

The Make-up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild (I.A.T.S.E. Local 706) represents make-up artists and hair stylists in feature films and television, commercials,  and “Live” network television, as wells as in theatrical productions and at Disneyland Theme Parks.

The Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild (MUAHS) also presents the annual Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards (also known as “The MUAHS”).  The awards honor Hollywood makeup artists and hair stylists for outstanding achievements in motion pictures, television, commercials, and live theater.

The 2014 Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards will be held Saturday, February 15, 2014 at the historic Paramount Theater on the Paramount Studios lot.  The Guild describes the awards as “a black tie evening that will bring together the artistic talents that create the characters we see on screen and stage, with the industries of entertainment, makeup and hair that support them.”  Winners will receive “The Artisan” award (a statuette) for both outstanding makeup and hair styling achievements.  Two special Lifetime Achievement Awards and a Distinguished Artisan award will also be presented.

Academy Award-winning Make-Up Artist Dick Smith (Amadeus) will receive the “Make-Up Artists Lifetime Achievement Award” at the 2014 MUAHS.  Academy Award-winner Rick Baker, who was Smith’s apprentice, will present the award.

Academy Award-winning Hair Stylist Gail Ryan will receive the “Hair Stylists Lifetime Achievement Award” at the 2014 MUAHS.  Academy Award-winning actor Benicio Del Toro (Traffic) will present the award to Ryan.  Ryan won an Oscar for her work on How the Grinch Stole Christmas (with make-up artist Rick Baker).
