On March 11, 2009 the Mehron Blog featured the Airbrush Artistry of Cheryl Vaughn. Cheryl was chosen by Mehron to showcase the introduction of LUX Airbrush Makeup by Mehron at the Halloween Costume Party Convention, Las Vegas, NV, held on March 6-9, 2009 . Like any other Profession sometimes the person finds the Profession and sometimes the Profession finds the person, Cheryl Vaughn is one of the latter.

Cheryl did not begin as a Makeup Artist, she began working as an airbrush artist creating T-Shirts in the Florida Panhandle in 1981. Moving to Las Vegas with her husband and four daughters Cheryl dedicated her time to the tasks involved with nourishing the lives of four daughters putting her artistic abilities to use by helping to create a haunted house Halloween Spooktacular for their school year after year. As the Halloween Spooktacular progressed through the years, Cheryl became more interested in creating the spooky characters with makeup rather than painting the set.

Las Vegas is the annual setting for the Halloween Costume Party Convention and in 2001 Cheryl attended the convention with a friend and saw airbrush makeup being applied for the first time, it was at that moment that she knew a Profession had come to her. With her love of Halloween Makeup and her talent as an Airbrush Artist she suddenly saw her future as an Airbrush Makeup Artist specializing in the creation of characters.

Cheryl Vaughn, Airbrush Artist, found a job doing Airbrush Face Painting for Star Costume in Las Vegas and continued attending the Halloween Costume Party Convention where she met Gene Flaharty, Mehron Artist & Product Expert. Mehron was in the process of perfecting Lux Airbrush Makeup and was planning on the public release at the 2009 Halloween Costume Party Convention. Cheryl was asked to demonstrate Lux Airbrush Makeup at the 2009 Convention and she not only demonstrated the use of Lux Airbrush Makeup, she created the most beautifully scary characters at the 2009 Halloween Costume Party Convention using Lux Airbrush Makeup.

"What I noticed right away about the LUX line was the quality of the colors! They are so pretty. The models were laughing because as I painted a Zombie or Skeleton, I kept exclaiming about how pretty the colors were, I absolutely loved the Brown!." Cheryl told the Mehron Blog in an interview after the 2009 Convention. "I also liked the way the colors complimented each other, and most importantly to me as an Airbrush Artist, the way the makeup flows through the airbrush gun consistently and flawlessly. That is the way I can get amazing detail"

As you can see by the photo, Cheryl Vaughn and Mehron Lux Airbrush Makeup were made for each other. Lux Airbrush Makeup will certainly change the way Halloween Characters are created but it will also change the way Film, Television, and Video Characters are created for all genres. Lux Airbrush Makeup is the Makeup of the Future and it is here today for the creation of lifelike characters in person, on film and on stages throughout the world.
