Scott Andrewby Janet Flora

All eyes were on Hilary Swank on Oscars night when she took home the Best Actress award for her role in Million Dollar Baby. But garnering as much attention as her award was her stunning presence accentuated by her floor-length gown and her radiant make-up created by Scott Andrew celebrity make-up artist. We follow Andrew's path to success from his artistic upbringing to his career-start at Vince Malardi's Alcone store in New York.

Sin City by Joe Nazzaro

Sin City set a new standard in movie-making. Filmed in front of a green screen and in color the film was then presented in black-and-white with dazzling accents of color. This created an unusual challenge for make-up artist Greg Nicotero and his make-up team. This use of color combined with creating the distorted characters in the Frank Miller comic book-based film was an unusual undertaking with stunning results.
