BAM Award Winners: Best Hair and Makeup

This another recently added category. The nature of this category in both the Oscars and here is that usually there needs to be something a little beyond a good, simple makeup job being done. A good makeup job is expected. When it’s not a given, like in the first Twilight, it can be a huge distraction. What usually is above and beyond the call of duty is incorporating a prosthetic, bruising, making up for black-and-white and cuts aside from the usual makeup scheme.

In terms of crediting the award I have decided to credit the film only here. Typically I have included the key makeup artist, however, that overlooks the large crew that works in the department so I felt it more appropriate to acknowledge the film as a whole and not just the department head.

Category became Hair and Makeup in 2021.

Here are those who have gone a little beyond:
