Everyone's talking about Dallas Buyers Club!

And so we should! The transformations of Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto were astonishing. We're going to remind you of how they looked before they lost a ton of weight for the movie, but before we do, take a look at this fabulous interview with makeup artist Robin Mathews - giving the full lowdown on how the Makeup was done...and on a total budget of $250. Yep, for the whole film. That's crazy. 

What's even more crazy is that Robin and Adruitha Lee won the Oscar for 

Best Makeup and Hairstyling. 

They've set the bar rather high for the rest of the industry now. If they can win an Oscar on a £250 budget, will this make life harder for future MUA's if their budgets are cut as a result? Time will tell. We feel like Dallas Buyers Club was a one-off...a collision of amazingly talented people who all worked toward the same end - a truly great, Oscar winning film.

Robin Mathews, Adruitha Lee, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto should all be very proud of what they achieved. As promised, here are before and after pics of both of them...

Remember Matthew McConaughey in Magic Mike? (If you missed it,

you have some very fun Googling to do!)

...and forty pounds lighter for Dallas Buyers Club. Wow. 

And now the beautiful Jared Leto...how can one human have so many great genes? 

*Focus* Sorry, got sidetracked there...

Here is Jared as Rayon in DBC. This picture is amazing. He manages to make her look so fragile, vulnerable and beautiful all at the same time. Truly an Oscar winning performance.

And here is Jared with his Oscar. Congratulations !!!!!
