Joel Harlow (born February 2, 1968) is an American make-up artist. He works steadily in many high-profile films.

Harlow won an Academy Award for his work in the successful film Star Trek (2009), subsequently receiving another two nominations for The Lone Ranger (2013) and Star Trek Beyond (2016).

Life and career

Born and raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota, Harlow was inspired to work in film-making after seeing the 1933 film King Kong as a child. He later explained that he spent "hours in the basement creating things and I knew I wanted to make characters. I just didn't know what it was at the time, that makeup was the way to do that."[1] After graduating from high school he moved to New York City to attend the School of Visual Arts, where he majored in animation.[2]

Harlow worked together with actor

Walt Disney Studios into producing the film, as at the time that they discovered the image, the film was close to being dropped.[1] In the final design of Tonto, some eight prosthetics were created by Harlow for Depp and eighteen overlapping prosthetics when the actor played the older version of the character.[1]

Awards

In 2008, Harlow was nominated with Debbie Zoller, Brian Penikas, and

season one episode "Nixon vs. Kennedy".[3]

He was a member of the team that won the

hairstylist Gloria Pasqua-Casny.[6] He was the only person in the category who had previously been nominated.[7] The award went to Adruitha Lee and Robin Mathews for Dallas Buyers Club.[8]
