Remove Shine Instantly

Only a certain generation will remember when the Public Ladies Room was called "The Powder Room". It achieved that moniker because women would excuse themselves by saying, "I have to go powder my nose". Although it was usually an excuse to talk to each other away from the male company, it was also a necessity because as the night wore on, their make up would need a touch up to keep a matte look and take away the shine. This was the age of "compacts", a small container containing a powder and small applicator that had a mirror. It was quite common for every woman to carry a compact all the time and when out for the night to open it and reapply the foundation powder five or six times throughout the course of an evening.

Makeup has come a long way since the days of "The Powder Room". Mehron, Leaders in Theatrical Makeup since 1927, had to constantly be innovative in their Makeup because they catered to the Performance Community. As the years went by Mehron took the secrets they learned in Makeup Innovation and applied it to Makeup for everyone. The old compact has been modernized with Mehron's expertise in Theatrical Makeup. Mehron now offers everyone the same anti-shine matte finish in an easy to use tube that performers have been using for decades.

Touch-Up™ Matte Finishing Anti-Shine Gel Treatment developed exclusively by Mehron is the one dab anti-shine gel. Touch-Up™ is available in three shades to accommodate any skin tone and is conveniently packaged in a easy to carry light weight tube. One little dab is all you need to remove the shine and create a classic matte finish that will last for hours. On camera performers use this exclusive gel treatment formulation to keep their faces from shining in the lights. Touch-Up™ Matte Finishing Anti-Shine Gel Treatment is priced for every day use and lasts for months of applications because like the old saying goes, "A little dab will do ya". Instead of reapplying makeup in the middle of an event or date just use a small dab of Touch-Up™ Matte Finishing Anti-Shine Gel Treatment to keep the shine away.

Give Your Skin a Fighting Chance

Constant weather changes from the freezing 20’s to the balmy 60's and back again can put your skin's moisture retaining ability to the test. Your skin's ability to retain moisture is important to keeping your face smooth and silky looking. The ravages of weather and pollution are constantly challenging your facial skin causing lines and premature wrinkles. Now from the research laboratories of Mehron you can add the ultimate weapon to your arsenal in battling the enemies of your face.

Mehron, Leaders in Theatrical makeup since 1927, have been producing makeup for the highest paid faces in the entertainment industry for over eight decades and they have applied their knowledge to a product that will protect your priceless skin. New! Velvet Finish Primer Serum was developed by Mehron after extensive trials. Velvet Finish Primer Serum is the result of intensive research by the Mehron Team. Realizing that Vitamin C is a powerful anti-oxidant but not a stable ingredient in skin care products, the researchers and chemists at Mehron got to work and formulated a fully stabilized Vitamin C Complex that resists normal breakdown from air, heat and moisture.

Use New! Velvet Finish Primer Serum everyday to give your face a fighting chance against the villains of weather and pollution that are out to age your beauty quicker. Collagen helps the elastic ability of your skin and New! Velvet Finish Primer Serum actually helps in the production of Collagen when used every day. New! Velvet Finish Primer Serum can even be used under foundation makeup to create the perfect makeup canvas. New! Velvet Finish Primer Serum will provide a smooth even surface before you apply makeup. Before you spend the rent money on a "wrinkle cream" that has fantastic claims try Mehron's New! Velvet Finish Primer Serum for a fraction of the price and see the difference the expertise of Theatrical Makeup Producers can make in your everyday life.

The Festival of Lights

Hanukkah is the commemoration of the Maccabees cleansing the temple after it was desecrated by the occupying forces. When the Maccabees re-entered the Temple they lit the candelabra and realized that there was only enough oil for one day, yet miraculously the oil kept the candelabra lit for eight days. Each year this cleansing of the temple is commemorated by the lighting of the Menorah for eight days in the celebration of Hanukkah.

As we celebrate the Festival of Lights, Mehron wishes everyone a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful Hanukkah during this time of remembrance.

Relief For Children with Cabin Fever

Snowstorms are fun in the beginning, but let a child get stuck in the house for a week because of freezing weather and there could be problems. Boredom leads to cranky, annoying behavior. There is only so much television and video games that can occupy a child trapped in the house by weather. This is a time when something new and creative comes in handy. Give them something different to do and the lazy, boring day can become a day of adventure even when stuck inside all day. Just as a book can take you miles away, so too can creative fun.

Mehron makes a great kit that intrigues children and spurs on their creativity, Water Works™ Face Painting Kit. This water based face paint is safe and fun to use enabling a child to create limitless characters with non toxic water based face paint based on the Professional Theatrical Makeup that Mehron has produced since 1927.

Children love to pretend and act, with a little Professional Makeup, they can manifest the characters in their imaginations. Besides relieving the boredom of winter cabin fever, the Water Works™ Face Painting Kit is modeled after a traditional water paint palette, with a sturdy plastic case and is used in the same way as a water paint kit except it is specifically made for human use unlike water paints which should not be painted onto the skin. A Water Works™ Face Painting Kit will not only ease the boredom of winter cabin fever but it might just create an actor, actress, or makeup artist in your house leading to an exciting career in the world of entertainment. The more horizons you lead your child over, the more depth of experiences they will be able to call on for the rest of their life.

Santa Claus Makeup

It's great to get volunteers to play Santa Claus at the benefit party, or the children's party or to visit the Children's Hospital. Most organizations go all out and rent a realistic Santa Claus costume and are thrilled that their volunteer Santa fits the bill physically, but a Santa with a tan is just not convincing to the children. What most volunteer Santa's don't know is that it is easy to fill in for Santa and look just like him with the help of Professional Theatrical Makeup from Mehron.

The real Santa Claus has a whitish complexion because he doesn't get out in the sun much up in the North Pole and we all know that when you go out in freezing cold of winter his nose and cheeks become cherry red from the weather. His hair is white as snow, and his beard and eyebrows and eyelashes too. How can a substitute Santa Claus look the part after spending the summer on the beach? Just like Professional Actors look the part, with Studio and Stage Makeup.

To achieve the Santa Claus Complexion is as easy as applying Celebré Professional Cream Make-Up in the Blithe Spirit Color. Blithe Spirit will provide the perfect base for a Santa Claus Complexion. Now to achieve the rosy cheeks and nose you can use Blushtone Cheek Rouge by Mehron in a Rosy Red, or if you have an aversion to using blush because of your ego you can use the Professional HYPER-FORMANCE CreamBlend™ in either of the reds available depending on the shade you want to achieve. Although you have rented the beard and the wig, you still need to turn your eyebrows the right color for Santa Claus, and if by chance your volunteer has the long hair and beard naturally but not in the right color, there is an easy theatrical solution for that also.

Professional Actors and Actresses use Mehron Hair White/Silver. This Professional Coloring is used on stages and sets throughout the world to instantly age a performer's hair without dyes. Mehron Hair White/Silver washes out easily and thoroughly after a performance. With Hair White/Silver by Mehron you can achieve the perfect Santa Claus Hair color.

Now you have the volunteer, you rented the costume, all you have to do is visit a Mehron Authorized Dealer near you and with a few Professional Performance Makeup Products you can have the best looking Santa Claus at your Party or Event.

The Makeup Artist Christmas Gift

If you have a Makeup Artist in your life we have the perfect Holiday Gift for you to give. Makeup Artists are like most Artists, very creative and obsessively detailed in their work, but their tools and work space are usually a mess that only they understand. To help your Makeup Artist stay organized Mehron has the perfect Christmas Gift for them. To help them stay organized and to protect the tools of their trade, Mehron offers a Professional Makeup Brush Holder.

Even the most disheveled Makeup Artist will find it hard to misplace a brush because this Makeup Brush Holder has an individual slot for each brush. It folds up and stands upright on the Makeup Table. Once you get them this Brush Holder and Organizer for Christmas you only have to help them insert each brush into its individual slot and reinforce the idea that after they use a brush or makeup applicator they should put it back in its place so the next time they want to use the brush it will be right where they put it. This Makeup Brush Holder will save hours of time over a year, there will be no more scattering things around to find the appropriate brush, it will be right there in its own cozy spot. This sturdy, durable Makeup Brush Holder was developed by Mehron after years of working with Makeup Artists and seeing their needs. The Makeup Brush Holder is a simple, affordable gift that will be appreciated once you break the bad habit of throwing their brushes around the makeup table.

Class Projects with Makeup

Grade School Teachers looking for class art projects that will intrigue your young artists, think about the amazing world of Glitter Art. Most teachers visit the art or stationary department of their local office supply store or department store and buy traditional large cut glitter in your typical primary colors. Makeup Glitter, safely made for face, body and hair application can also be used to create beautiful works of art on Paper, Cardboard, Poster Boards or Canvas.

The selection of colorful Makeup Glitter offered by Mehron, not only has more colors to chose from than typical office supply store glitter, but it also has innovative dispensers that can make an art project neater and cleaner. Mehron GliiterWear is a paint on glitter that is dispensed directly from the tube already mixed with the adhesive. Of course GlitterWear was developed for use by clowns and performance artists on their face, body and hair, but to add exciting colors to your glitter art work, GlitterWear can be adapted to enhance artistic endeavors. Glitterwear comes in colors you won't find at office supply stores. GlitterWear's color selection includes Mardi Gras Purple, Deacon Blue, Brilliant Rainbow and six other vibrant colors that will make any art project glisten.

With adult supervision all of the glitter produced by Mehron can be safely used in the classroom. GliiterDust by Mehron is super fine particle glitter that can produce a totally different look to an Art project and also comes in a selection of nine exciting colors that you won't find in your department store. GlitterDust will easily stick to any art medium with traditional school glue. By expanding the hue of colors that your students can chose from with Mehron Glitter Products you will unleash a new creativity within your students.

A Holiday Makeup Gift With Love

Most of us are feeling the economic pinch this Holiday Season, with devalued assets, layoffs and lack of overtime it is hard to think of a wonderful Christmas Gift, Hanukkah Gift or Kwanzaa Gift that won't stretch our budget but will show the spirit of giving. Just remember it is not the cost of the gift that matters, it is the love that is wrapped in the gift. Sometimes the least expensive gift is the one that reflects the most love because it shows the recipient that you took your time and thought about a gift that they would use and enjoy, a gift that is different and personal, instead of a gift off the shelf already packaged.

When choosing a Holiday Gift think about the personality of the person that you are giving the gift to and match that personality to a gift that they will use all year and is unexpected. The unexpected gift is usually the gift that makes the impression. The gift given with love is the gift that is remembered. If you are looking for that gift, we have Holiday Gift Ideas for you.

Mehron Makeup has been made with love since 1927 when Mehron Melik found a passion within him to produce theatrical makeup that catered to the live performers of Vaudeville and Broadway. In the beginning Mehron selected the ingredients by hand, produced the makeup by hand, and personally visited the performers each night before their performance to deliver that night's makeup. As you can imagine the performers not only loved Mehron's Makeup but they also grew to love him. It is in that tradition that Mehron makeup is still produced in the USA by a second generation Melik, Martin.

This year the Mehron Website is featuring nine Holiday Makeup Gift Ideas selected by the Marketing Director, Stephanie Ferreira as a representative sampling of the Makeup Made with Love for you to consider when giving a gift of love this Holiday Season. Of course after over eighty years of producing Professional Theatrical Makeup, the World's Foremost Clown Makeup, the highest quality Face Painting and Body Painting Makeup, and becoming the Innovator of Extreme Beauty Makeup, Mehron has hundreds of Makeup Products that you can give with love. To view our selected Holiday Makeup Gift Ideas just visit the Holiday Gift Idea Section of the Web Site. Mehron Makeup is available around the world through Authorized Mehron Dealers.

Holiday Gift Ideas From Mehron

This is the time of year when a jolly old man in a red and white suit with lots of helpers pulls up to the Mehron building to load up his sack with Holiday Gifts. This year he was met by Martin Melik, the President of Mehron along with the Mehron Ladies decked out in their Holiday Santa hats to help him select the finest in Holiday Makeup Gifts for all the people on his Holiday Gift List. As they were checking his list the Mehron Ladies noticed that on his list were lots of drama students away at college, so they quickly gathered an assortment of complete Student Makeup Kits including 5o cases of Mini-Pro Student Makeup Kit Featuring CreamBlend Makeup Base for those just starting out, and 75 cases of All-Pro Makeup Kits for the students with a couple of productions under their belts. As his helpers were busy loading the cases the jolly old man couldn't contain his laughter, " Ho, Ho, Ho, the students are going to love using the same makeup as Shrek uses on Broadway, I just love Shrek, don't you Martin? You better load me up with 125 cases of Celebré Makeup Kits, because I know some people on my Holiday Makeup Gift List will be making their way to Broadway, just like Shrek and Princess Fiona." His assistants were becoming disorganized as he kept adding more and more cases of the Student Makeup Kits to the list, luckily Oleg Yerov, Operations Manager of Mehron happened by to help them organize their loading. After a quick, "Hello" the jolly old man was off again with his list in hand and harried helpers following behind, "Come, hurry Martin, I need lots more, and my list is bigger this year."

"I think I took the wrong list," he said to no one in particular as he continued walking, "there are a lot of people who want body paint on this list....hmmm... I must have mixed something up...". As he was standing befuddled looking at his list, Shelli Farber, Education Manager at Mehron, and Gene Flaharty, Product Expert at Mehron couldn't help but hear his confusion, so they explained to him that Body Paint was really Makeup used in the Art of Body Painting, not car bodies, but human bodies. "Ho, Ho Ho.... what will they think of next?" So Shelli and Gene explained to him about the water activated Body Paint Makeup developed by Mehron in collaboration with Jinny Houle, an award winning Body Painting Artist. Shelli suggested that he might want to add the colorful mixed palettes of Paradise Makeup AQ ProPalette - 12 Colors, Paradise Makeup AQ 30 Color Palette, and some of the Paradise Makeup AQ - 8-color Palette, so that he has sizes and colors for all talent levels on his list. And Gene suggested a selection of Professional Makeup Brushes that all Face Painting and Body Painting Artists always need, so he showed him the Stageline Golden Nylon Makeup Brushes ." Oh, this is great...Ho, Ho Ho,..." as he moved on again with his list in hand and the his main assistant panting behind him.

"I need some fantastic face serum to protect the skin of the beautiful soft faces on my list", he was mumbling as he walked with his head down right into the Research and Development office of Jimmy Varghese, who was meeting with Jack Sakalsky, the Manufacturing Director of Mehron. Jimmy explained to him that Mehron has developed an exclusive face serum made just for that purpose, to protect and revitalize soft beautiful skin, rich in anti-oxidants that actually heals, soothes and hydrates the skin. They directed the excited man to Stephanie Ferreira, Director of Marketing at Mehron and told him to ask her for Velvet Finish Primer- Serum, a new exclusive formula developed right here to keep skin smooth, supple and young.

When he found Stephanie he couldn't contain himself, "I need lots of Velvet Finish Primer-Serum because I have a lot of beautiful faces on my Holiday Makeup Gift List!!" " You just sit down here before you are all worn out and I'll call Mr. Melik and we will finish off your list" Stephanie said offering him a chair. "Ho, Ho, Ho, that's why I love Mehron, like coming back to family, I knew Martin's Dad during the Great Depression, he always made sure I had gifts for the children, Clown Makeup is what I brought them....now Martin makes all kinds of Makeup here.....it's just amazing. Last year I gave some Extreme Beauty Makeup, it was called L.I.P. Color Cream Palette, and for all the pretty eyes I got Celebre ShadoBlend Pressed Powder Eye Shadow, and for all the rosy cheeks on my Holiday Gift List Martin made Celebré Professional Pressed Powder Blusher 8 Color Palette for me to give, it's right here on my list." "We will have them brought out to you, and we have an exciting new Eye Accenting Makeup Product, AdGem, that lets the ladies add real gem stones to their makeup! And we have Paradise Glitter and Metallic Powder to add a dazzling touch to Extreme Beauty Makeup." Stephanie informed him. " Ho, Ho, Ho, I will be giving the best Holiday Makeup Gifts this year again. I just need one more thing........the Mrs. likes some shiny powders, she likes to put sparkles on when we have our Christmas Party after I make my gift giving rounds, she saw a Mehron Ad in a Magazine, I wrote it down, it's called Celebre Precious Powders, she said it has sparkles built right into the powder, some for her and some for my assistant's wives and daughters, then I will be on way, right after I visit my friend in the Mehron Finance Office, Gina Kresback".

After thanking everyone at Mehron and wishing them all a Happy Holiday, he turned to Mr. Melik and said, "Now remember Martin, I will be in the Circus again this summer, and you know I love being the clown, don't forget to ship me the Clown Makeup as always, your Dad never forgot, and so far you haven't either. Happy Holidays to all". As Martin, Stephanie, Shelli, Gene, Gina, Jack, Oleg, and Jimmy waved to the December visitor, they all called out to him, "Happy Holidays from Mehron".

New Year's Eve Formal Attire with a Tattoo?

I know you are thinking of that sexy black sleeveless gown with the low cut cleavage for that spectacular Black Tie New Year's Eve Party, but you are worried about the tattoo of the butterfly on your breast and how it will ruin the whole look, not to mention that the boss will be there with her husband. You have seen the actresses in the reveling gowns on the red carpets at award events, you never notice their tattoos and you know they have them because you have seen them in pictures in People Magazine.

Mehron Makeup is the name they trust because they see it on the makeup tables of their Makeup Artists.

Mehron quickly presented the Casting Directors with a solution to their problem, they did not have to discard the perfect actor or actress for the role just because they had a tattoo. Mehron developed a Makeup solution for the theatrical community that is affordable and available for everyone, Tattoo CoveRing™. This creamy, waterproof formulation comes in a palette that encompasses five shades that can be blend to match your skin and cover the darkest of tattoos. Tattoo CoveRing™ is a reformulation of an older makeup trick used in the theater and film industry to cover birthmarks and other skin flaws on actors and actresses, Mehron has now taken this formulation and expanded the color spectrum and combined all five shades in one makeup ring to cover black and colored tattoos completely and effectively.

When you prepare your New Year's Eve Makeup be sure you have a Tattoo CoveRing™ ready to cover the tattoo of the man eating dragon that you would rather your boss didn't see at the New Year's Eve Party.
