Keep Your Makeup Bacteria Free

Makeup Brush CleanerWith worries about flu viruses living on objects now in the news, it is a good time to review some tips to keep your makeup bacteria free. The advice coming from medical professionals about how to avoid the flu is simple and straight forward, wash your hands, cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing, wash your hands, keep surfaces clean and don't forget to wash your hands.

The same advise about washing your hands also applies to washing your makeup brushes and makeup applicators. Using throw away applicators for your makeup is fine in some situations, but nothing beats using professional makeup brushes to apply certain makeup looks that you can just not achieve with disposable makeup applications products. Keeping your Makeup Kit clean is just as important as washing your hands during a flu epidemic. Be sure to put the lids on your makeup after using them, this is an easy start to insuring that your makeup will not become a petri dish for bacteria breeding.

Along with keeping your makeup containers properly sealed it is also very important to keep your Makeup Brushes clean and dry. If you are in the habit of washing your makeup brushes with soap and water as was recently recommended on the Tyra Banks Show, remember to dry them thoroughly before putting them away. Putting a wet or damp makeup brush in a makeup bag or drawer is an invitation for bacteria to grow. Applying Makeup with Makeup Brushes that have bacteria growth may cause rashes or acne along with other health issues. Although Tyra Banks is on the right track by recommending washing your Makeup Brushes with warm soapy water, that may not be enough to keep your makeup brushes deodorized and sanitized.

A very affordable way to keep your makeup brushes deodorized, sanitized and germ free is to use Brush Treatment by Mehron. Brush Treatment is the easy, affordable way to clean and sanitize your brushes leaving them odor free and actually treating the bristles of your Professional Makeup Brushes which will extend their useful life. Get yourself in the habit of sanitizing and cleaning your makeup brushes after each application with Mehron Brush Treatment and you will be protecting your skin and your brushes with only a few minutes of effort. Professional Makeup Brushes deserve Professional Brush Treatment to extend their life and keep them in application shape time after time. More importantly to extending the life of your investment in Professional Makeup Brushes is the investment you make in the health of your skin when you get in the habit of cleaning, deodorizing and sanitizing your Makeup Brushes with Brush Treatment by Mehron.

As with other flu scares this one will pass, but cleanliness habits will hopefully stick. Getting in the habit of cleaning your makeup brushes and accessories is a good habit that will prevent skin complication throughout your life. Look for an Authorized Mehron Dealer near you to stock up on Professional Brush Treatment and keep your Makeup Brushes bacteria free.

Protecting Your Skin

Velvet Finish Finish Primer, Protecting your SkinWhen summer finally arrives it brings with it the damaging effects of sun exposure. As warm and inviting as the rays of the sun are, they are also damaging to the skin, constantly absorbing the natural moisture that the skin needs to stay supple and smooth. In recent years medical studies have even determined that the increase in skin cancer is cause by intense un-protected exposure to the sun. To prevent carcinogenic activities research is ongoing in calculating anti-oxidant protection for the skin. The problems with using important Vitamins like Vitamin C in skin care products is that they break down over time from air, heat and moisture.

The researchers at Mehron, realizing that Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that was not readily absorb by the skin, got to work on developing and formulating a Vitamin C that would remain stable in a skin care product. They were able to achieve their goal and add a fully stabilized Vitamin C compound New! Velvet Finish Primer . This clear, smooth, comforting serum not only contains a stabilized form of Vitamin C, but also a ready to absorb Vitamin E along with Aloe Vera.

New! Velvet Finish Primer protects the skin from the everyday damaging effects of environmental pollution, drying and aging while at the same time feeding the skin with antioxidants. This clear liquid serum can be used as a base under foundation makeup and still accomplish its purpose producing a protective shield for the skin. New! Velvet Finish Primer with its powerful formulation of antioxidants helps increase production of collagen, a skin elasticity agent that helps erase and prevent the fine lines of aging.
Although we have been waiting for the sun, now that it is going to be here in full blaze throughout the summer months, it is important to protect your skin from the adverse effects of sun exposure and to revitalize your skin with the ultimate in facial serums, New! Velvet Finish Primer

Masquerading can be traced back throughout recorded history, and costumes and disguises are even traditional in other religious holidays and festivities. All civilizations and cultures throughout the ages have expressed fantasy and drama through costumes and makeup, from simple face painting during the Stone Age to the elaborate costumes and makeup of the grand Hollywood epic productions of the Twentieth Century, costumes and makeup have captured the imagination and become a part of traditions.

E.Y.E. Lashes NEW from Mehron

Eye Lashes for Extreme BeautyFalse Eye Lashes were popularized by the iconic film stars of Hollywood's heyday. Stars would wear false eyelashes to stand out and give them a magical look on the big screen. False eye lashes have been in and out of favor since the beginning of the last Century, making a comeback in the 1960's after falling out of favor in the early 1950's. Nightclub performers continued to wear false eye lashes throughout the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's and have worn them continuously in Las Vegas Shows. False Eye Lashes were used to drawn attention to the eyes and create depth.

Mehron was the leading manufacturer of False Eye Lashes for the Miami and Cuban Night Club performers of the late 1950's and early 1960's and have made them for theatrical productions and movie studios for decades. In fact the current President of Mehron, Martin Melik, son of the founder Mehron Melik as a child was often dispatched by his father to hand deliver False Eye Lashes to the night club dressing rooms in Miami in the 1960's. Mehron Melik began Mehron Makeup in 1927 hand making makeup and personally delivering it to the theatres throughout New York City, and he continued to personally service his clients over 40 years later.

As Mehron enters its 82nd year of developing, formulating, innovating and manufacturing quality professional makeup and beauty makeup they are introducing the exclusive Mehron Eye Lashes to the public, E.Y.E. Lashes . To intensify your eye lashes and create an Exteme Beauty Makeup Look, Mehron has packed E.Y.E. Lashes in five different choices. In re-creating a Makeup accessory from the past, Mehron has brought the false eye lash into the modern world of beauty makeup with these reusable E.Y.E. Lashes . To enhance the beauty of your eyes, select the E.Y.E. Lashes that are right for you, these quality lashes can even be trimmed. To adhere properly Mehron recommends AdGem Adhesive another Mehron exclusive formulation developed through 80 years of experience producing theatrical makeup

When the Circus Comes to Town

Mehron Clown MakeupIf you have just discovered Mehron Makeup and are wondering what it looks like, you have most likely already seen it. Every year when the Circus comes to town, Mehron is there. Mehron is a leading manufacturer of high quality Clown Makeup. The Clown Makeup that was chosen by Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey for their clown college was Mehron Clown Makeup, a special pallet was made by Mehron for their incoming freshman clowns and is still available today for anyone who wants to be a clown.

Mehron has been turning the faces of clowns white since 1927. White Face Makeup by Mehron is the brightest, whitest most consistent Clown White that has ever entered the three rings under the big tent. Although Clown White is a traditional clown makeup base, it is not for every clown. So Mehron also produces Clown Pink for Auguste Clowns and Hobo Clowns and they don't stop there. Mehron offers clowns a selection of colors to compliment the multi colored costumes that they love. HYPER-FORMANCE CreamBlend™ gives clowns a selection of over 60 colors in an easy to use Cream Makeup that was specially formulated by Mehron to be used in a quick and easy stick makeup applicator. The same high quality, durable, consistent pigmentation that is the hallmark of Mehron Cream Makeup is specially reconstituted for HYPER-FORMANCE CreamBlend™ allowing clowns an easy, quick application of rainbows of colors.

Before the advent of Cream Makeup and a host of other innovations by Mehron in the filed of Clown Makeup, greasepaint was the makeup of choice for clowns. Bringing tradition into the future Mehron manufactures a modern greasepaint foundation for the traditional clowns Foundation Greasepaint . Mehron, using the concept of greasepaint has moved this performance makeup staple into the future, Foundation Greasepaint has been blended to have a creamy texture and is lanolin enriched to be gentle on the skin.

When you have catered to clowns for over eighty years, Clown Makeup becomes a very serious business, and although Clown Makeup was one of the foundational building blocks of Mehron Makeup in 1927, it is now one aspect of multiple collections of Professional Performance Makeup, Special Effects Makeup, Body Painting Makeup and Extreme Beauty Makeup. Not all of us will experience wearing clown makeup but almost all of us have experienced clown makeup. Most of the clowns that you have seen throughout your life are very familiar with Mehron Clown White, Clown Pink and all the other Clown Makeup and colors that Mehron produces for Clowns and the entire Professional Performance Community. This year when the circus comes to town take notice of the whiteness of the Clown's Face and the richness and vivid colors of all the clown makeup. Mehron is a company that knows clowns so well that the founder would personally make, and deliver rich, creamy, high quality White Face Makeup to them whenever the Circus was in town.

Hilary Duff and Mehron Metallic Powder

Scanned from April 2009 Issue of People Style Watch MagazineIn the April 2009 Issue of People Style Watch, the Beauty Q&A by Holly Carter question is How can I get Hilary Duff's silvery eye look? Ms. Carter begins the answer, "After picking up a lot of tricks from makeup artists over the years, Hilary says she loves practicing what she's learned by doing her own makeup. " She relates how Hilary Duff became acquainted with Mehron Metallic Powder in silver and, "I wanted to do something fun......".

Ms. Carter explains how Hilary Duff uses her regular eye makeup then uses "a loose silver powder from Mehron along her lower and upper lashes and at the inside corner." According to Ms. Carter that is the technique that she picked up from a makeup artist. Mehron Metallic Powder is also available in bronze, copper and gold besides the silver that Ms. Duff prefers.

Hilary Duff might not know that Mehron Metallic Powder is finely crafted and evenly blended by Mehron to insure consistency and color retention, but she certainly knows that Mehron Silver Metallic Powder feels silky smooth when she applies it to accent her eye makeup. Ms. Duff might not realize that Mehron Silver Metallic Powder feels so silky smooth because it is composed of ultra fine powder granular, refined and pigmented with consistency in the USA without animal testing.

Mehron's line of Metallic may be used dry or mixed with Mehron Mixing Liquid to form a water-based metallic liquid makeup that can be used in Face Painting Makeup, Body Painting Makeup or just extremely beautiful makeup. Stars of Stage and Screen throughout the decades have worn Mehron Makeup. Mehron began producing Professional Theatrical Makeup in 1927, and since then have grown to encompass all aspects of Makeup, from Extreme Beauty Makeup to Horror Film Special Effects Makeup. Mehron's ever expanding Makeup Collection has been leading the way towards to the future of makeup from Silent Films to High Definition three dimensional video. Stars like Hilary Duff will continue to have Mehron quality in their dressing rooms as Mehron continues blazing new trails by introducing the Makeup of the Future, today.
