The Season of the Clown

Spring Showers, Spring Flowers and Spring Clowns all are signs of the season of rebirth. The Clown has been a fixture since antiquity. From the Greek Tragicomedies to Shakespeare, the Court Jester, the Mime, and the Circus Clowns, the Clown has been a fixture throughout civilization. The Clown presents social commentary, makes fun of life's situations and has been making people smile for centuries.

After a long cold winter, Spring Festivals, Fairs, Carnivals and Community Events welcome the spring season with Cotton Candy, Carmel Apples and The Clowns. Clowns come in all different shapes, sizes, colors, and costumes, the common thread being their ability to leave a trail of laughter. As the function of the Clown has changed throughout the years so too did the costuming and look of the clown. The Court Jester relied on a colorful costume to distinguish himself in the King's Court. Throughout the evolution of the Clown, Makeup became an important part of the Clown's appearance.

The Clown began wearing Makeup to represent not to hide his identity but rather to represent everyone's identity. The White Face Clown begins with White Face Clown Makeup to neutralize himself, so that he represents everyman. Various Clown incarnations have been developed throughout the years, there is the Hobo Clown, The Everyman Clown, the Zany Clown, and the Lonely Clown, all of whom count on quality Makeup to effectively play their role.

For over eighty years, Mehron Clown White Makeup continues to be the Professional White Face Makeup that clowns begin with when they start to apply their Makeup. Mehron Clown White Makeup was originally developed as a hand made formulation by the Founder Mehron Melik and continues to this day to be produced with that same exacting standard that he set as he formulated his Clown White by hand. Mehron Clown Makeup was the Makeup that the Greatest Show on Earth chose to be the Official Makeup of their Clown College. When the Greatest Show on Earth would pay their yearly visit to New York City, the current President of Mehron Makeup, Martin Melik would be dispatched by his Father to hand deliver Mehron Clown Makeup to the Clown's Dressing Room before each performance.

If you are going to be a Clown this Spring for any Springtime Event, the choice of Clown Makeup is clear, trust the Clown Makeup that the Professional Clowns of the Greatest Show on Earth choose for their Performances, Mehron Clown Makeup. Mehron Clown Makeup begins with Clown White but continues through a Collection of Colorful Clown Face Makeup and accessories that the Professional Clowns of the world have used for over eighty years. Mehron Clown Makeup is available throughout the world at Authorized Mehron Makeup Retailers.

What's Blooming at Mehron This Spring

Spring is the time of renewal, dormant bulbs react to the warm of the weather and blossom into beautifully colored flowers. The cheery blossoms form cotton candy like billows that line the paths of parks and the streets and backyards of neighborhoods. As if it has been planning a surprise all winter, Nature majestically covers the world in a renewed growth, adding color and beauty to the world. Behind the scenes of Winter, Nature has been busy working preparing for the Spring Display.

It has been a similar story at Mehron Headquarters this winter as Mehron has been busy preparing for the launch of important new Beauty Makeup Products, along with renewing the current offerings of Mehron Makeup across all Product Lines. Mehron does not launch "new and improved" versions of past Makeup Products because frankly products that are already the best can not have a "new and improved version" For the Spring of 2010, however, the packing has been renewed in the Spirit of Spring. Answering the call of Authorized Mehron Retailers around the World, the folks at Mehron Makeup Headquarters have been busy redesigning the packages that contain the quality products of Mehron Makeup Products. With full color photos that better represent the product that is contained in each new package, the shape and size of each package has been redesigned to make more efficient use of shelf space for retailers. Inside each newly redesigned Mehron Makeup Package, all consumer packaging has been retested to insure that the design is functional and that it will best keep Mehron Makeup fresh and easy to use.

Along with the Spring Renaissance in Mehron Makeup Packaging, Mehron makeup is rolling out two cutting edge Makeup Products in the Spring of 2010. Ready and in Production is The Velvety Velour Smoothy Makeup Applicator, a cutting edge Makeup Applicator with a clear, smooth, easy to hold handle that has a faux velvet makeup applicator firmly attached with a crimped binding to insure that the newest Mehron Makeup Applicator will last through countless Makeup Applicator tasks.

At the Makeup Show New York, a prestigious Makeup Industry Event, Mehron Makeup will introduce the future of Foundation Makeup with a new healthy formulation that caters to the needs of the High Definition World with a flawless Beauty Makeup Application. New Mehron Makeup Celebré Pro-HD Foundation has passed all the Mehron Tests and is currently in Production awaiting its debut at the Makeup Show New York. For Beauty and Color matched by Nature, look to Mehron Beauty Makeup to accentuate your Spring Look.

Featured Artist - Mark Reid

Is a person born to be an Artist or does life create them into an Artist? In the case of tonight's Featured Artist, Mark Reid, Master Body Painter, it seems to be a combination of both. Mark Reid has either pursued Art for his entire life, or it has pursued him. Beginning as early as five years old, Mark Reid had a desire to create Art. At age 10 Mark was taking formal lessons using charcoals and paints. Coming from the wide open spaces of New Mexico, Mark's imagination had plenty of room to roam. The journey from canvas artist to Body Painting Artist might at first blush seem unusual, it is not unusual at all. Like most Body Painting Makeup Artists who took their Artistic abilities displayed on the woven fabric and transferred their visions to the human body, Mark Reid took a similar route.

In Dallas, Texas Mark Reid encountered Judy Kubik, who along with Melanie Seidsma were conducting a class in Face Painting "This was the turning point in my career.", Mark recently told the Mehron Blog. Turning his Artistic Talents to Face Painting with Makeup, Mark quickly mastered the use of Makeup to create living Art. 2004 was a pivotal year in the transition from Mark Reid, Artist, to Mark Reid, Master Body Painting Makeup Artist. Marcela Murad asked Mark Reid, Artist to do some paintings for her Magazine, adding that she would also like a Body Painting. The Artist in Mr. Reid could not turn down this opportunity even though he had not yet done a Body Painting with Makeup. Mark recently recalled this time in an interview for the Mehron Blog., "She also asked me to do a body painting. I had no idea how to go about asking a woman to take her clothes off to do this and my girlfriend refused to let me do it. I wanted to be in this magazine so bad, I had to sneak around and did the body painting on a friend. It was the greatest experience. I fell in love with it and my girlfriend left me.......".

With a talented, challenge seeking artistic soul, Mark Reid was enthusiastically absorbing the Art of Body Painting, turning out inspirational living art. Although Body Painting is an Artistic endeavor, like all Artists, the Body Painting Makeup Artist must find a way to make a living at it if they are to continue to have the freedom to pursue and perfect their Art. Mr. Reid often took on commercial Body Painting jobs and was asked to work for a Production Company in Dallas, Texas who were responsible for an event called, "Body Art Ball" Tour. Mark accepted the challenge but was startled by a phone call before the event from one of the Producers who told Mark that they would like him to paint, "jeans" on models at the Ball. Not wanting to turn the job away, Mr. Reid told the Producer that painting jeans would not be a problem. Mark tells it as, "I accepted and a week later they called and asked if I had ever painted jeans. I lied and said "Of course, I can paint great jeans." I immediately called a friend and had her come over. I painted her twice until I got it down and since then I have painted over 200 pair of jeans." Mark Reid has become a specialist in Body Painting Jeans with Paradise Makeup AQ.

Attending the 2004 Face and Body A International Convention in Orlando, FL, Mark met the President of Mehron Makeup, Martin Melik. During their conversation Mr. Melik complimented Mark's work and and offered him some Paradise Makeup AQ to try. Mark recalls this meeting, "Mr. Melik gave me some Paradise Make Up AQ to work with and I really liked it. I have been using it ever since and have promoted it all over the world." Mark has remained a friend, and an independent Mehron Makeup Artist representing Mehron Face Painting and Body Painting Makeup at Seminars, Conventions and Competitions around the world, along with using Mehron Makeup in his personal work and as an Instructor. As a Body Painting Instructor, Mark believes that Paradise Makeup AQ is the Professional Body Painting Makeup that students in his classes need to become familiar with in their quest to perfecting their Body Painting skills. "Being an Instructor, I find that it is easier to teach with Paradise Makeup AQ as it is easy for my students to use. As an Artist and competitor, they have a great selection of colors that allow me to be as creative as I want. The consistency of this make-up is perfect. Not too creamy, it blends perfectly with a sponge or brush and I get great lines using it."

Along the road to becoming a Master Body Painting Makeup Artist, Instructor and continuing to be an Artist that works on canvas, Mark Reid sought the challenge of producing a World Class Annual Body Painting Makeup Convention and Competition in North America (NABPC). 2010 saw this dream fulfilled as Mark Reid put together the First Annual North America Body Painting Convention in Las Vegas, NV, USA. Drawing the attention of Body Painting Makeup Artists, Models, Photographer and Makeup Companies from around the world, the first ever NABPC was a great success. "I was very happy with the turnout as we had almost 90 people from all over the world competing.". As a Producer, Instructor, and Body Painting Makeup Artist, Mark has an affinity for Competitive Body Painting Events, not just because he can channel his internal inspiration and the world that he perceives but also because, "Getting to paint next to someone from another country and making friends is priceless. It is not about winning for me. Once we show up and make a new friend and get inspired by someone's style or learn a new technique makes us all a winner. In 2008 I placed first in the preliminaries in Seeboden. For 2 days I was number one in the World.........I can live with that!"

Live with it he does, Mark Reid continues to blaze new trails in the Art of Makeup Body Painting as an independent Body Painting Artist, who continues to do, "Corporate Promotional events and private body paintings. I can be contacted at markreidart@aol.com or 469-235-3936", while instructing in the art of Face and Body Painting, competing around the world in Competitions, and exhibiting paintings on canvas available for sale in Philadelphia at Musher-Lovelund Studios.

Mark feels that Body Painting Art will continue to develop and grow just as it has for centuries, although he enjoys the freedom to travel to events around the world in pursuit of the Art of Body Painting, he realizes that traveling and crossing time zones constantly begins to wear on the body, time and the freedom to create. He says that he will be involved for the rest of his life in this Art that he loves, but hopes to settle into a routine and establish a School for Body Painting Art where the students will come to him and he will spend less time in the air and more time with a Body Painting Makeup Brush. He plans on continuing to perfect NABPC and looks forward to its continued growth, hoping that each year it is held will affect the lives of Artists and guide them to love the Art of Body Painting with Makeup.

For the next few years at least, look for Mark Reid at Face Painting Makeup and Body Painting Makeup Conventions, Seminars and Competitions around the world as both a seasoned Master Body Painting Makeup Artist as a teacher of the craft.

Mothers Day Gifts from Mehron Makeup

Mother's Day in the USA in May 9,2010. Undecided on a gift, or are you looking for a new gift for Mother's Day this year? Think about giving Mom a bottle of youth with Velvet Finish Primer Serum by Mehron. This propriety formula developed by the Researchers and Chemists at Mehron Headquarters in New York, contains a breakthrough in Vitamin C and Vitamin E skin application. Vitamin C and Vitamin E are known anti-oxidants which help the body fight free radicals, the cells that can cause everything from aging to discoloration and more. Many Skin care products in the past were instilled with Vitamin C and Vitamin E and advertised it in big, bold, colorful letters. What wasn't advertised was that although the Vitamins were in the products, they were unstable and not absorbed by the skin upon application.

The Mehron Makeup Researchers and Chemists set out to conquer this problem and found a proprietary formulation that would stabilize the Vitamins in a Skin Serum. Thus the creation of Velvet Finish Primer Serum by the makers of Mehron Makeup. Combined with an Aloe Vera Extract, the stabilized Vitamins C & E work in conjunction to protect the skin from weather, age and pollution damage, spurring on the production of natural collagen that decreases lines, wrinkles and skin discoloration. Every Mom would appreciate the Mother's Day Gift of Velvet Finish Primer Serum, it's like giving Mom a high end spa visit that she can use every day.

Mehron Makeup has an entire line of Beauty Makeup that is perfect for Mother's Day Gifts. All Mehron Makeup is produced in the USA from selected ingredients by the second generation of the Founder Mehron Melik, who hand made all his Makeup for the Professional Theatrical Performers of Stage and Film. Using the Professional Makeup Foundation, Mehron has continuously expanded their Makeup Lines to meet the demands of all makeup users, from Professional Clown Makeup, Face Painting Makeup, Body Painting Makeup, Special Effects Makeup, Character Makeup, Halloween Makeup, right on through to everyday Beauty Makeup, Fashion Makeup and Extreme Beauty Makeup. For over eighty years Mehron Makeup has been made by the same family with the same customer satisfaction standards, producing a Professional Makeup Product that is durable and affordable for all. Mehron Makeup is represented by Mehron Authorized Retailers throughout the World.
