The Westmore family

The Westmore family are renowned for being hollywood make-up artists. Originally started by George Westmore in 1917 the family have followed in his footsteps, since the family has had four generations serve holly wood as make-up artist.

Hollywood has been graced in many movies by many Westmores, and many iconic images known today have been the product of their work. We are lucky enough today to be able to purchase books written by the west more brothers published in the 40's giving expert beauty advice and vintage hair styles.

some of the achievements the westmore family have accomplished over the years:

• The oldest brother Monte worked at Selznick International where before his death of a fatal heart attack he did an enormous amount of work on "gone with the wind"
• Perc worked for over 27 years initiating beauty trends and disguise's at First National-Warner Bros. His work includes the faces of Charles Laughton's grotesque "Hunchback Of Notre Dame" and Bette Davis' eyebrowless, practically bald and white faced in "The Private Lives of Elizabeth  and Essex".
