BIO
Bruce Grayson is one of the rare few to be born and raised in Los Angeles. So it's no surprise that he was exposed to the entertainment business at a very early age.
Bruce's father, Dave Grayson, was one of the top make-up artists of his day with clients such as Lauren Bacall, Kim Novak and Shelly Winters. Bruce loved to tag along, for obvious reasons, but it also exposed him to the art of beauty make-up.
The real education started when his Dad became John Wayne and Kirk Douglas's personal make-up artist. Bruce literally grew up on the sets of the biggest Westerns ever made. Bruce thought of these celebrity icons not as stars but as family. His father approached his clients with professionalism and level headedness that was in turn passed on to Bruce.
Soon after graduating from Hollywood High School. Bruce was afforded the opportunity of working along side some of Hollywood’s greatest artists. In this environment, Bruce was able to fine-tune his craft and thus launch his career in make-up. Bruce soon established himself as one of Hollywood's top Make-up Artists.
Since that time, the Emmy nominated Make-up Artist has traveled all over the United States and Europe as a spokesman for several cosmetic and skincare companies. His work with celebrities has been seen in many magazines including Vanity Fair. Bruce is in charge of the make up department on both the Emmy Awards and Academy Awards television broadcasts. He has also worked and overseen several make-up teams on such shows as “The Larry Sanders Show,” “News Radio,” “Just Shoot Me and is currently working on “Rules of Engagement “ for CBS.
Bruce has also had the pleasure of working for President Clinton and Senator Hillary Clinton as their personal make-up artist. He worked on the 1992 and 1996 Presidential Campaigns, Presidential Inaugurations as well as other White House Events and editorials.
