Looking at the Uber fashionable pictures from Hollywood, it’s quite easy to forget that it’s the makeup artists, hairstylists, and background players who truly run the industry. Marie Claire hosted the First Annual Image Maker Awards last night in Los Angeles to celebrate the men and women who create those iconic looks that blow us all away.

Stars like Lupita Nyong’o, Jennifer Garner, Kristen Stewart among others were there to celebrate and present awards to the powerhouses who have helped make them leave long-lasting impressions on our minds…
