Exploring Humanity Through Sci-Fi

“Behind the Brush: Bruce Grayson & Jeff McKinnon"


Listen Later

In this episode, we go behind the scenes with two titans of the make-up world: Bruce Grayson and Jeff McKinnon. From red carpets to starships, their work has shaped how we see Hollywood’s biggest icons.

Bruce Grayson, his lifelong passion that led Bruce to become the Make-Up Department Head for The Oscars, The Emmys, The Golden Globes, and The Grammys. I caught up with him while he’s in the thick of prepping Mariah Carey’s Holiday Special, and he reflects on the evolution of glamour, precision, and storytelling through make-up.

Jeff McKinnon, Emmy Award-winning artist and head of the Make-Up Department for Star Trek: Picard, joins us from the set to talk prosthetics, sci-fi aesthetics, and the emotional power of transformation. With credits that include Halloween H20 and Bicentennial Man, Jeff brings a deep understanding of genre, character, and craft.

Together, Bruce and Jeff offer insights into the artistry, legacy, and innovation that define their careers—and the unforgettable faces they help bring to life.
