Join your hosts Susan Fox and Gene Turnbow Feb 5 and 6 at 4 pm Pacific / 7 pm Eastern as they invite actress and makeup artist McKenzie Westmore to this week’s episode The Event Horizon here on SCIFI.radio. Westmore is best known in our world as the host of SyFy Channel’s Face Off and the fourth generation of the famed Westmore family of makeup artists who defined more than a hundred years of motion picture makeup art and effects.

In the mundane world, she’s still famous. She had roles on two soap operas, Passion and All My Children.

Being the daughter of Hollywood makeup artist Micheal Westmore, McKenzie has developed a passion for make-up artistry herself. Her time served as the host of SyFy’s special effects make-up competition Face Off helped her focus her energy into to developing new products for her cosmetics line Westmore Beauty ®
