Thanksgiving Day Parade and Mehron Makeup

The Annual Macy's Day Parade in New York City is an entertainment event that began in 1924, one of the few events that is older than the founding of Mehron Makeup. Mehron has functioned continuously since 1927, whereas the Macy's Day Thanksgiving Day Parade was suspended during 1942-1944 because of the needs of World War II. It was long after the founding of Mehron that performers in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade would begin to wear the handcrafted makeup of Mehron and continue to do so over eighty years later. Just as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is an integral part of the fabric of New York City culture, Mehron Makeup was inextricably tied to the New York City way of life.

Mehron Melik, the founder of Mehron Makeup developed his handcrafted makeup to meet the demands of the growing live performance venues that were a part of the New York City experience. New York City was home to an array of Entertainment options in the 1920's, from Vaudeville to Ballet, Burlesque to Opera, and the rise of Broadway. All of these live Performance venues required Theatrical Makeup. The Macy's Day Thanksgiving Day Parade featured not only the stars of New York City Theater, but also an army of clowns that walked the parade route entertaining the crowds. Mehron's Clown White Makeup was a favorite with the Macy's Day Parade Clowns, not only for the extreme bright white but because it did not run, fade or crack during the many grueling hours of marching along the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Clowns quickly recognized the durability of Mehron Clown Makeup making it a part of every Macy's Day Thanksgiving Day Parade since the late 1920's.

The Broadway Stars and Professional Performers from all walks of live entertainment in New York City were also participants in the annual Thanksgiving Day Parade, and when costumed in character also wore the same Mehron Theatrical Makeup that they used in their live stage performances. Chorus line dancers and headline stars alike joined the clowns in wearing Mehron Makeup during their march down the through the avenues of New York City. Although still considered Theatrical Makeup, Broadway Stars that rode the parade floats not in character still wore some of their Mehron Stage Makeup, such as Mehron Foundation, Mascara, and Lipstick.

Mehron Makeup was again seen by millions through the live television broadcast of the annual Macy's Day Parade. Unlike the early years of the Macy's Day Parade, which only had Mehron Theatrical Makeup and Mehron Clown Makeup, the 2009 marchers and float riders also had the option of Mehron Face Painting Makeup, Body Painting Makeup and the newest collection of Beauty Makeup to count on for the hours long parade route.

The Macy's Day Parade Committee is constantly introducing new additions to the Thanksgiving Day Parade, new balloons, new floats, bands and acts since the beginning in 1924. Like Macy's, Mehron is consistently introducing new products, colors and makeup innovations to keep pace with the ever changing needs of the makeup consumer. Just as 2009 saw the long anticipated introduction of new balloons and a new float for Santa Claus, Mehron introduced some dynamically exciting Makeup Products during the year. The Macy's Day Parade is as synonymous with New York City as Broadway and Times Square. Mehron Makeup has been the standard for Clown Makeup for over eighty years, has led the way in Theatrical Makeup color saturation and innovation, and is now on the way to being a leader in Beauty Makeup. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade showcases every Makeup Line produced by Mehron and will continue to do so as long as there are Clowns, Singers, Dancers, Chorus Line, Actors and Actresses taking part in the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Happy Thanksgiving

Mehron would like to extend their wishes for a Happy, Healthy and Fulfilling Thanksgiving to all those you celebrate the Thanksgiving Holiday throughout the USA, Canada and anywhere in the world where you are commemorating the Thanksgiving Feast. On this Thanksgiving 2009 Mehron is thankful for successful year in launching new products and being able to spotlight them throughout the world at Body Painting Festivals, Face Painting competitions and Makeup Trade Shows throughout the world.

Mehron wishes you and your family a most Happy Thanksgiving.

A Holiday 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.

The Artistry of Special Effects Makeup

Arguably all Theatrical Makeup is essentially Special Effects Makeup. Special Effects Makeup Artists might agree or disagree but in the Modern Era of Theatrical Makeup Artistry, Special Effects Makeup is a uniquely specialized field. As the complexities of production have grown with technological advances Special Effects Makeup application has evolved into a craft that has specific sub specialties. There are Special Effects Makeup Artists who are specialists in creating prosthetic pieces, those that specialize in attaching prosthetic and even those who special in making prosthetic applications out of certain materials. For many decades the Makeup Artist on a movie set did it all, even hand making the makeup in the very early days of film creation. The art of Theatrical Makeup has now progressed to the point that specialists are brought in to a production for a specific makeup talent that they posses, it may be an expert at Mask Covering, a Mask Creator, a Latex Artist and now Body Painting Makeup Artists and face Painting Makeup Artists are in demand as Airbrush Makeup becomes the norm.

The upcoming James Cameron Film, Avatar, billed as the first fully three dimensional film will highlight the Airbrush Specialty of Makeup Artistry along with every other discipline in Special Effects Makeup. The screening of Avatar is only the beginning for the the specialty of Special Effects Makeup Artists who are proficient in Airbrush Makeup Application. As a technological advancement in Film Production Avatar is being touted as the revolutionary beginning to a new vision of film making. From the perspective of the Artistry of Special Effects Makeup, Avatar will be the beginning of a new demand of talent for Makeup Artists. Theatrical Makeup Artists will meet the new challenges presented by the close up high definition three dimensional filming that will define the next era in the history of film.

It is fitting that Avatar is being released in 2009, the 70th Anniversary of the release of the Wizard of Oz, which was revolutionary advancement in Theatrical Makeup. Seventy years does seem like a long time when you think that seventy years ago Theatrical Makeup for color film production was an experiment that did not always work well. The Wizard of Oz Production has its share of Makeup snafus, including almost killing the original Actor who was to play the Tin Man, Buddy Ebsen. Today creating a Tin Man would be as simple as filling up an Airbrush Makeup gun with LUX Airbrush Makeup a green tea based liquid makeup and airbrushing the Tin Man with a Makeup that would not only not threaten his health but would actually be gentle and hydrating to his skin. Theatrical Makeup has come a long way from the days of making silver makeup by using real aluminum powder that was ingested by the Actor till now when a naturally based vitamin enriched airbrush makeup can be used.

Airbrush Makeup may be the next progression in the specialty of Special Effects Makeup, it is unlikely that it will be the last. As the art of the three dimensional film grows to become the norm in theatrical releases, the Special Effects Makeup Artists will develop techniques to match the demand created by the format. The demands placed upon Special Effect Makeup Artist will again create an army of talented Special Effects Makeup Artists who will use their skills to meet the need with innovative imagination and skilled artistry. Mehron Special Effects Makeup will be a ready tool for the next wave of Special Effects Makeup Artists just as it has been through over eighty years of innovative Makeup exploration. Avatar may be the next pivotal Film in the history of film, LUX Airbrush Makeup is already the future of Special Effects Makeup.
