Michael Westmore's Aliens is a series of DVD special features that are featured on the first to the fifth season box sets of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Similar special features are included on the Star Trek: Insurrection Special Edition DVD and the ENT Season 4 DVD.

In the interviews, Michael Westmore talks about the makeup of selected aliens from the series and the movie. There are no interviews about the aliens from the sixth and seventh seasons of Deep Space Nine as very few new aliens were required.

Westmore talks about the sheer number of aliens required for the show, including Odo, Quark, Jadzia and many Bajorans and Cardassians.

He goes on to talk about how the development of the ridges on the Bajoran nose came through Rick Berman, who told him "We've hired a pretty girl (Michelle Forbes) and we want to keep her that way." Westmore goes on to say how the noses were sculpted.

The Cardassian makeup is the next topic that Westmore talks about, and describes how Marc Alaimo influenced the design of every Cardassian character that would follow. He also talks about how the "spoon" of the Cardassian forehead was inspired by an abstrace painting he saw in a restaurant in Studio City.

Westmore also talks the makeup of the Tosk from "Captive Pursuit" and how it was made to resemble an alligator.

Westmore goes on to talk about the Wadi from "Move Along Home" and how tattoos were used instead of spots and stripes.

Westmore also talks about the Miradorn, the Kobliad and unnamed species like the "tailheads". He goes on to talk about the creation and evolution of the Bolians.
