A host of stars from the world of television were in town for this prestigious awards ceremony and M∙A·C ensured that guests arrived looking sensational for this year's red carpet. The M∙A·C Pro team were on hand to provide make-up services to VIPs in town for the Awards in the M∙A·C Beauty Suite at The Corinthia Hotel, Whitehall Place London - and via one to one 'at home' appointments.

M∙A∙C Senior Artist, Rebecca Butterworth, comments on last night's makeup trends on the red carpet: "On the red carpet, gorgeous skin with luminescent, luxurious highlights dominated, accented with softly lined eyes, reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn and lips in shades of coral, vermillion and scarlet".

Over the years, M·A·C has provided its services to a wide range of entertainment productions. Makeup artists for a variety of important awards programmes, movies, television shows, music tours and theatre productions have all employed M·A·C's specialised expertise and resources. Working with BAFTA reinforces M·A·C's reputation for supporting the behind-the-scenes needs of the professional community. This dedication to the makeup artist - M·A·C's ultimate ambassador - defines M·A·C's identity in the industry.

So far in 2014 M∙A∙C supported artists such as Lisa Armstrong (Strictly Come Dancing) and JoJo Williams (Broadchurch)  as well as Sharon Doyle (Ripper Street) and Pamela Smyth (The Fall) all of which are nominated productions this year.
