We are proud to announce that three members of the CMS family have been nominated for 2011 Prime Time Emmy’s!

Zena Shteysel, a 2003 CMS graduate, has been the key makeup artist for Dancing with the Stars since 2005 and was nominated in the Outstanding Makeup for a Multi-Camera Series or Special (Non-Prosthetic) category. This is her fifth nomination with the show. She has already won an Emmy for her work on the 2008 season of Dancing with the Stars. Shteysel’s resume since graduating from Cinema Makeup School includes Dancing with the Stars, Gladiator, and the 82nd Annual Academy Awards.


Cinema Makeup School seminar instructor Brad Look has been nominated as an Additional Makeup Artist for his work on How I Met Your Mother. This is his 10th Emmy nomination, with one win already under his belt. Look has graced the seminar halls of Cinema Makeup School with his outstanding body art demonstrations. Look’s extensive resume includes Thor, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, and Star Trek: Voyager. His ongoing contributions to the makeup industry still inspire our staff and students today.
