What can you say about Alias, there are just so many reasons to watch it: it’s amazing; witty; dark; has a fascinating Rambaldi backplot; has Jennifer Garner; brilliant makeup artists. . . The awards it has collected (or is it garnered) have been well deserved. It’s a shame all good things have to come to an end.

Jennifer Garner has collected a series of awards and nominations for her performance including: Saturn Award (nomination 2005); Saturn Award (nomination 2004); Saturn Award (winner 2003); Emmy Award (nomination 2005); Emmy Award (nomination 2004); Emmy Award (nomination 2003); Emmy Award (nomination 2002); Golden Globe (nomination 2005); Golden Globe (nomination 2004); Golden Globe (nomination 2003); Golden Globe (winner 2002).

Sidney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) has worn so many disguises that I’ve had to categorise them by hair colour and season. And a number of the other female characters have also worn disguises including: Irina Derevko (Lena Olin), Lauren Reed (Melissa George), Nadia Santos (Mía Maestro), Rachel Gibson (Rachel Nichols) & Renée Rienne (Élodie Bouchez).

Angela Nogaro, makeup department head works closely with hairstylist Michael Reitz to create Sydney’s many looks:

Part of the whole concept behind her is not character disguises where she’s got a big nose or fake teeth – it’s character disguises in high fashion mode. Just different versions of a beautiful Jennifer.

The makeup and hair credits listed at IMDb include: Michael Reitz, department head hair stylist & wig designer; Katherine Rees, key hair stylist; James MacKinnon, makeup department head; Angela Nogaro, makeup department head; Diana Brown, key makeup artist; Rela Martine, key makeup artistl; Gil Mosko, special makeup effects artist; Margie Latinopoulos, special makeup effects artist.

The makeup and hairstyling awards and nominations the series has collected include: Emmy Award: Hairstyling (Michael Reitz – nomination 2005); Emmy Award: Non-Prosthetic Makeup (Angela Nogaro, Diana Brown & Kaori N Turner – winners 2003); Emmy Award: Hairstyling (Michael Reitz & Karen Bartek – nomination 2003); Emmy Award: Hairstyling (Michael Reitz & Karen Bartek – nomination 2002); Emmy Award: Non-Prosthetic Makeup (Angela Nogaro & Diana Brown – nomination 2002).
