The International Make-Up Artist Trade Show in London has come and gone, and we look back on what made this show the largest and best yet. Thousands of attendees networked with dozens of exhibitors and educators to make the show a stunning success. If you missed the show, you won't want to miss this story, re-capping the magical weekend with plenty of images.

Jon Hennessey: Picture Perfect

Jon Hennessey always hoped to return to his home of Vancouver, B.C., leaving the busy life of New York City behind. After gaining years of make-up experience in the big city, and surviving the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, he has finally followed his path home, bringing his wife and baby with him. He is now beautifying the Vancouver print scene with his expertise and inspiration.

Steve LaPorte gets Lost

On a tropical island in Hawaii, Steve LaPorte wakes up every day and breathes in the fresh air. But this make-up artist isn't on vacation, he's the make-up department head on the smash-hit television series, Lost. The evolving plot and harrowing experiences that the cast goes through makes consistency a big part of his work. We visit Hawaii to talk with Steve about his work on the show.

Matthew Mungle: Death Becomes Him

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've no doubt noticed the strong presence of corpses and medical investigation shows on television lately. The mastermind behind many of the bodies and effects is none other than Matthew Mungle. We take a look at the life and techniques of the man behind the work.

Sin City

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.

Scott Andrews

All eyes were on Hilary Swank on Oscar night. Of course, 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 Andrews' path to success, from his artistic upbringing to his career-start at Vince Malardi's Alcone store in New York.

Make-Up from Around the World

Fasten your seat belts. Get ready to depart for our latest installment of Make-Up From Around the World. In this issue we travel to Germany, Israel, France, Sweden, Denmark, Canada, Spain and The Netherlands to peek in on make-up artists abroad. Some of the eight make-up artists featured are just getting started in their careers, while others are hardened veterans. We hope you enjoy the tour.

A Little On the Dark Side

As Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith hits screens, MA goes behind the scenes to see how Creature Supervisor Dave Elsey and his team came up with the Anakin burn make-up, the Emporer's make-up, the army of Wookies and more.

Internet Portfolios

It seems that physical portfolios are becoming a thing of the past. These days, make-up artists who want better exposure are turning to the Internet. We talk with several make-up artists who use websites to promote themselves, and find out the best ways to get an online presence.

Intergalactic Make-Up

In the film Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the Henson Creature shop was responsible for creating the intergalactic aliens, a man with two heads and a manic-depressed robot.

The Dean of Make-Up

Some of the hottest leading ladies of the big screen have requested Richard Dean as their personal make-up artist. Julia Roberts asks for him exclusively. Find out how this man behind the beauties delves into the mind of the characters he's working on to use make-up to help transform the actors.

DICK SMITH ' 60 YEARS AND STILL AHEAD OF THE GAME

Make-up artist legend Dick Smith celebrates two milestones this year; 2005 marks 60 years in the make-up business as he turns 83 years old. Dick was honored with a lifetime achievement award at IMATS/LA in June, and we ask Smith how it is that he is as active and involved in make-up during his retirement as he was 20 years ago.

IMATS/LA 2005

Make-Up Artist magazine promised the 'biggest make-up show ever' for 2005 in Pasadena. It was a tall order, but we delivered. Among highlights of the show, held at the Pasadena Convention Center on June 25-26, were keynote addresses by Dave Elsey (Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith), Scott Barnes (celebrity make-up artist) and Bill Corso (Oscar winner for Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events.) We recap the student make-up competition, museum highlights and the exhibit hall.

KARAN MITCHELL

With a resume shining with such names as Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears and Carmen Electra, one can guess that Karan Mitchell is a success story in the world of print make-up. We sit down with Mitchell and find out what it took to become a celebrity make-up artist, how she handles specific looks, and who her favorite celebrity client is.

CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACOTRY

Neal Scanlon is the man behind the doors of the Chocolate Factory. The summer blockbuster, directed by Tim Burton, wouldn't have been possible without Scanlon's oompah loompahs, animatronic squirrels and human blueberry. Scanlon shares details of how he created the make-up effects and his behind-the-scenes experience on the film.

The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe

Howard Berger and the team at KNB Effects were granted the challenge of bringing CS Lewis' characters to life on the big screen. Up until now, technology was not advanced enough to create this fantastical story on film in a way that did justice to the story. But Berger and his team were up for the task, creating 170 characters from 23 individual species, real and fantastic, for the film.

Kevin Scott Hees

After 15 years as a professional make-up artist and a photographer, (10 of those years spent in California), Kevin Scott Hees recently moved to New York City. Having worked as a model and photographer, Kevin started doing his models' make-up on the side. A lucky mistake brought Kevin into the professional world of make-up artistry in the mid-90s, when his photo portfolio was sent to Kevin Aucoin and Aucoin in turn noticed the make-up and gave Kevin his big break. We take a look at Kevin's career so far.

The Return of the King

For his remake of King Kong, Peter Jackson called upon his Oscar-winning Lord of the Rings team to do make-up and effects. We hear about the decision-making behind the designs, such as what inspired Kong's snaggletooth, how the imposing ape almost had pink mottling on his nose, and why actress Naomi Watts doesn't sport 1930s arched eyebrows. We learn about Weta Workshop and Weta Digital's integration of the physical Kong with the CG version. And we share with you Weta's fantastic photos of the techniques used to turn extras into Skull Island natives.

Oscar Watch

We look at six films from 2005 that are generating make-up Oscar buzz: Star Wars Episode III, Sin City, Cinderella Man, Walk the Line, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Memories of a Geisha. There is a wide range of work to consider: sci-fi looks, characters from graphic novels, boxing bruises, period and likeness make-ups, and fantastical creatures. The artists discuss the challenges and successes of their work on these films.

Daniel Sandler

Fashion make-up artist Daniel Sandler will be sharing tips and theories when he speaks at the International Make-Up Artist Trade Show in London this January. The Brit says beige, gray and brown eye shadows (three shades of each) are enough for an entire career. He's developed his 'keep it simple' approach over 20 years of runway, print and celebrity work. Sandler is now launching his own cosmetics line at Harrod's, and coincidentally, it all began at age 17 when he met fashion icon Mary Quant at that same store. Take a look at lush photos of his trendsetting make-up.

Rick Baker and ZBrush

What does a renowned monstermaker do for fun? Rick Baker plays with ZBrush. 'It's very intuitive for sculpting. I was doing ZBrush every day ' I was obsessed,' he says. When Baker started posting his work online anonymously, there was quite a response. He answers our questions about creating 3D portraits with the software. We include a gallery of some of his best ZBrush work.

Creature FX: keeping a clear head and other tales

Cliff Wallace and Alan Hedgecock have quietly made Creature Effects into one of the most reliable UK-based companies for everything from photo-realistic body parts to full-size prehistoric creatures. Their recent credits include 28 Days Later, Kingdom of Heaven, The Seed of Chucky, King Arthur and Doom. Read how they got their start, their approach to work, and take a look at photos of some incredible pieces. Warning: Some may disturb you.

IMATS/Europe: Collection of fans

This year's European show was a rich collage of fresh faces, industry legends and remarkable make-ups. Thousands braved the chilly streets of London in January to be there. The International Make-Up Artist Trade Show introduced its first-ever European student competition, which caused a stir. Top speakers included Michael Westmore, Daniel Sandler, Trefor Proud and Walter Schneiderman. Dig into photos and a fun recap of the show.

Lee Pycroft's new classics

Fashion make-up artist Lee Pycroft once worked under Mary Greenwell, and had her big break with a Vogue cover of Kate Moss. She is establishing herself as an in-demand artist, and someone to learn from. 'I don't really like to add artificial lines and restructure the face with make-up,' she says. The Brit tells us what she does to create a classical yet edgy feel -- and it's not what you'd think. Pycroft also shares her favorite products, colors and tricks. Look at gorgeous photos from her portfolio.

CGI vs. make-up

Movies are loading up on computer generated imagery. Are you tired of it, or do you embrace it? Some CG characters are not convincing (remember Jar Jar Binks), but others are quite good. And digital houses are taking care of more and more effects that were once the domain of the make-up artist. In this article, writer Ron Magid stands at the intersection of make-up and CGI and takes a careful look around. Rick Baker, Richard Taylor, Ve Neill and Keith VanderLaan share how they're staying at the top of their craft, and evolving. Movie critic Leonard Maltin gives us the moviegoer's perspective on it all.

CSI: Peek Under the Sheet

If you love the CSI shows and want to get behind the scenes, this is your issue. John Goodwin's story 'Big Apple Bodies' goes behind the gruesome scenes at CSI: New York. Bizarre plots demand imaginative, unpleasant and fascinating make-up. The make-up team's challenge is to keep the details as accurate as possible ' without crossing the line for a TV audience. Learn how the 'CSI shots' ' where the camera seems to go inside the body ' are all about make-up.

Click: Getting Better With Age

Rick Baker and his team at Cinovation have raised the bar for age make-ups in the new Adam Sandler movie Click. In Part One of a two-part series, we show you exclusive photos of these unbelievable make-ups. You'll also see molds, sculptures, and a gallery of landmark age make-ups from film history. Baker talks about Click in an in-depth Q&A. 'In the pictures of these make-ups, you can zoom in on a pore and make it the full size of your screen, and you can't tell that they're make-ups,' he says.

Paul Starr's Blue-Sky Beauties

Paul Starr, celebrity make-up artist and author of On Beauty, has a portfolio filled with gorgeous images of actresses and models. His career began 20 years ago with $35 an hour make-up lessons from Oscar-winner Bob Arrollo.

Filippo Ioco's Life in Color

To understand the worldwide reach of Filippo Ioco's work, you have only to look at the pictures and sketches in this article. They are colorful, humorous, imaginative, unforgettably beautiful. Ioco has painted swimsuits on models, created a nymph in a forest, and, in one photo, matched a painted yellow-white pattern on a man's body to that of the snake that curls around his neck. Ioco talks about how he became a body painter and about balancing commercial work, print sales, and live body painting. He discusses working with different body types, the role of the model in his art, and where he finds inspiration.

The X Factor

Kris Evans, make-up department head for X-Men: The Last Stand describes the film as 'the most challenging, rewarding project I've ever worked on.' Her team, put together at the last minute, was challenged with creating lead characters and background mutants that were subtle, 'not Star Trek.' Outstanding effects make-up by Spectral Motion includes the creation of Beast, Juggernaut, and Colossus.

News From the Big Show

There were thousands of people at IMATS/LA. There were names, classes, events, great products, and chances to network and to talk make-up. There were exhilarating competitions. There was the make-up museum. There were Academy-award winners. Keynote IMATS/LA speakers Nick Dudman, Paul Starr and Trefor Proud made a great thing even better. The whole fabulous weekend is covered here.

It Started With a Sink and a Table

What is it about NBC? The make-up department's legacy boasts artists like Dick Smith, Vincent Kehoe and Carl Fullerton. Working there presented incredible challenges and wonderful opportunities, and the name of the game was adaptation. The department had a knack for attracting maverick artists able to meet the challenges. Artists interviewed include Smith, Kehoe, Bob Laden and Kevin Haney. We follow the history of the NBC make-up department from its 1945 inception to present day.

Make-Up in Minutes

The Saturday Night Live make-up team does some of the world's fastest make-up work. Department head Louie Zakarien describes the process: 'It's just a flurry of arms. The more you're there, the more you choreograph hands flying in, trying to get it done any way you can.' Francis Kolar, Michael Laudati, Peter Montagna, Kevin Haney and others talk about SNL's 31-year history, the demanding schedule and what they learned. Naturally, because it's SNL, there are some funny stories to tell. Plus: photos from the SNL party, and how SNL and Conan O'Brien are dealing with hi-def.

Taylor shares techniques and talks about her evolution as a make-up artist.

Golden Opportunity

Pros, cons, and photos. From Apocalypto to Pirates of the Caribbean II, the accomplished and varied make-ups in these six films deserve to be considered for an Academy Award.

The intricate blending of directorial vision and DDT's talents yields extreme creatures that are horrifying, beautiful, and sophisticated. Interview with David Marti and comment from director Guillermo del Toro. The movie opens Dec. 29.

Frosty Delight

Making the third movie in the series allowed the make-up team of The Santa Clause 3 to finesse its craft. They have confidence and the ability to adapt, and their experience pays off when they encounter Jack Frost, hundreds of elves and a flood.

The Man Who Aged Me

Tom Hanks worked with make-up artist Dan Striepeke on 17 films. Their dynamic friendship led to one transformation after another, and to an Oscar nomination for Forrest Gump. Striepeke retired this year, and Hanks wrote this tribute to him -- and to make-up artistry -- for The New York Times.

Paco Blancas

This fashion artist is not afraid to start over. He recently removed a detailed eye make-up because it got in the way of what he really wanted people to see. Blancas brings women's natural features to the fore and celebrates the textures and colors of skin.
