2026 MUAHS Awards Winners: ‘One Battle After Another,’ ‘Sinners,’ and ‘Frankenstein’
The glitziest awards show in Hollywood? That’s none other than the MUAHS Awards! This annual gala, hosted by the Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild, honors the best in make-up and hairstyling across film, television, commercials, and live theater. And let me tell you, everyone who attends looks impeccably put together (because, well, many of them are the experts behind those looks!).
The 13th Annual MUAHS Awards, sponsored by L’Oréal Groupe and Giovanni Eco Chic Beauty, were hosted by Rachael Harris on February 14, 2026 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles.
Some of the big winners in the Feature Motion Picture categories were “One Battle After Another,” “Sinners,” and “Frankenstein.” Television winners included “The Studio,” “Palm Royale,” “Stranger Things” Season 5, “Saturday Night Live,” “Dancing with the Stars,” and “Skeleton Crew.”
The event also honored Oscar-nominated actress Amy Madigan with the Distinguished Artisan Award, the guild’s highest honor, which recognizes artists who have consistently collaborated with the MUAHS Guild to create memorable characters throughout their careers.
Among the other honorees were Emmy-nominated make-up artist Michael Johnston, who received the Vanguard Award for his pioneering work in children’s and teen television, and Greg Nelson, an Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning make-up artist who received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Make-Up.
