The Oscars’ lead makeup artist, industry veteran Bruce Grayson, knows a thing or two about using the right beauty products to glam up A-listers hitting the stage.
“My dad was a film makeup artist for Lauren Bacall, John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and Rita Hayworth,” Grayson tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “I grew up in Hollywood, right down the street from the Dolby Theatre, and I continued in his footsteps.” The second-generation makeup artist specializes in live TV, including major award shows like the Grammys and Academy Awards.
