Awards Night: Do Actors...

Let's say it's award night in Hollywood. They dress in their finest. Do they (males and females) do their own make-up? Do they have hand servants in their homes? Or, do they all do their make-up in some "locker room of the stars" back stage? Better yet, maybe that's what's going on in the limos on the way to the show...

Realizing stars like Dick Clark are wearing so much make-up to look young, it made me wonder about this. I just can't see him doing his own make-up, and it coming out looking right.

I believe most actors have a slew of stylists, makeup artists, hair colourists, hair stylists, and all that, on hand before an awards show.
They must do it before they get to the awards hall because of their red carpet parade. But I would assume there are a number of dressing rooms backstage and some makeup artists on hand there too for touch ups.
