2021 Muah Awards: ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ and ‘Birds of Prey’ Are Top Makeup, Hairstyling Winners
“Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” captured the top period feature prizes for makeup and hairstyling at the 8th annual Muahs Guild Awards Saturday night, making it the prohibitive Oscar favorite for the dramatic transformation of Viola Davis as the titular pioneering blues singer. Davis, who landed her fourth Oscar nomination as the sexy, subversive Rainey — the most of any Black actress — was boldly uncompromising in demanding verisimilitude for Netflix’s adaptation of the August Wilson play. Davis was fitted with gold teeth, charcoal-like makeup, and a wig made of horsehair.
Winning both contemporary makeup and hairstyling feature honors at the virtual ceremony was Warner Bros./DC’s “Birds of Prey. He recreated the look of real wooden puppets for the titular hero (played by (Federico Ielapi) and his theater friends by using every prosthetic technique available.

They're beautiful...but then again they're also robots. The cast of HBO's hit series Westworld is undeniably good looking—it's Hollywood, after all. But have you ever noticed how dewy and supple their skin is? The way the sun hits their cheek, leaving their skin to sparkle in all its glory, as they stand above a barrage of bloody bodies? Us, too. It's not just makeup magic. The cast can thank a $18 French skin care product, commonly found in pharmacies oversees, for their even complexions, according to Popsugar. The show's makeup artist Rachel Hoke preps the cast's visages with Collosol No Rinse Cleansing & Softening Milk, a three-in-one makeup remover, face and...
