Awards given for this profession in the entertainment industry include the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and entertainment industry awards such as the Emmy Awards, and the Golden Globes.

Bigger production companies have in-house makeup artists on their payroll, although most MUAs are generally freelance and their schedules remain flexible depending on the project.
