IMATS,Jinny, Michael, Sindy and Halloween



Mehron Makeup and 24 Prince Restaurant in New York City, collaborated on a Michael Jackson themed Halloween in 2009. Mehron Makeup was there to supply the Makeup for guests who wanted to become Michael Jackson or people relevant to Michael Jackson's life for a Michael Jackson Themed Halloween Party, complete with contests and prizes. Attendees were costumed as Michael Jackson from various stages of his life, Elizabeth Taylor, Lisa Marie Presley, and others who shared the Michael Jackson Spotlight. With a combination of Mehron Halloween Makeup, Face and Body Painting Makeup, Professional Theatrical Makeup, along with Beauty Makeup from the ever expanding Mehron Beauty Makeup Collection guests at the Halloween 2009 Party at 24 Prince Restaurant became a part of the Michael Jackson Mystique.



At the Halloween 2009 Halloween 2009 Party at 24 Prince Restaurant, it was expected to see not only one, but many Michael Jackson's in attendance. At the June 2011 International Makeup Artist and Trade Show (IMATS) in Los Angles attended by Mehron Makeup and the traveling Mehron Makeup Exhibition Booth, Jinny was the Featured Makeup Artist for Mehron. As the Featured Artist demonstrating Face and Body Painting Makeup for the Makeup Industry Professionals who attend the L.A. IMATS, Jinny had just completed a Black and White Face and Body Painting on Model Sindy Perez with Paradise Makeup AQ by Mehron when Michael Jackson ( a Micheal Jackson impersonator) showed up at the Mehron Exhibition Booth to pose with Sindy Perez in her freshly painted black and white Body Painting by Jinny.



The Micheal Jackson look a like dressed in black and white, was the perfect match for the Black and White Body Painting just completed by Jinny with Paradise Makeup AQ for the guests of the IMATS LA Exhibition Hall. Running into Michael Jackson is expected during Halloween, but Jinny, Sindy and the Mehron Team who staff the traveling Mehron Exhibition Booth were all surprised to have a visit from Michael Jackson in June at the IMATS LA for Makeup Professionals. Although if Michael were still alive, it might really not be so surprising to see him at a Makeup Professionals Event like IMATS given his use of makeup throughout his career.



IMATS is a premiere makeup show for Makeup Professionals that has six shows a year in four different countries. The next LA IMATS will be on June 23-24, 2012.

The Tin Man for Halloween

Tin Man Makeup for Halloween by Mehron
Seventy two years ago The Wizard of Oz was a ground breaking film in many respects, from its cast size, production budget, color film sequences to of course its makeup. Mehron Makeup was about to enter its teen years when The Wizard of Oz opened in New York City only blocks from the Mehron Makeup Offices off Broadway in New York City. Already noted for Clown White Makeup, Mehron was also supplying the needs of the burgeoning Theatrical Scene that was happening around the Times Square Area while in Hollywood Legendary Makeup Artist Jack Dawn was coping with the many makeup problems associated with the extravaganza of The Wizard of Oz with its large cast and intricate makeup needs.



With Commercial Production of Theatrical Makeup and shipping limitations, Makeup Artist like Jack Dawn often used Clown White as a base makeup and added the coloring that they wanted to achieve. One of the challenges for the Makeup Department and Costume Designers was how to present the Tin Man. Originally cast as the Tin Man, Buddy Ebsen became gravely ill from the experimental makeup which was Clown White with an aluminum dust coating. Because the aluminum dust coating that was applied over the Clown White was not blended into the Clown White, Mr. Ebsen was breathing in the particles every time he was in makeup. Before production ever began, Mr. Ebsen became seriously ill from the aluminum dust particles that were filling his lungs during rehearsals and publicity shots. With Buddy Ebsen in recuperation, Jack Haley was recast as the Tin Man and the Makeup was changed to a paste that would keep the aluminum dust from being inhaled, despite this Mr. Haley missed some filming days because of an eye infection caused by the Makeup.



Nothing like these mishaps were happening on the stages of Broadway in New York City where Mehron Melik began hand formulating his makeup from hand selected ingredients for the New York Theatrical and Film Actors. Throughout the years Mehron Makeup has had a reputation as a safe, durable, long lasting makeup and continues that tradition over eighty years later as it continues to produce Professional Theatrical Makeup, Clown Makeup, Special Effects Makeup, Face and Body Painting Makeup, Specialty Makeup, and Fashion, Beauty and Extreme Beauty Makeup. Mehron Makeup is still made by the Melik Family in the USA from selected ingredients free from animal testing with safety, stability and excellence in mind.



Unlike Buddy Ebsen and Jack Haley you can safely become the Tin Man for Halloween with Mehron Silver Metallic Powder mixed with Mehron Mixing Liquid which will create an easy to paint on shiny silver coating which will make you look more realistic than the original Tin Man of Wizard of Oz. Mehron Mixing Liquid with Metallic Powder is safe to paint on your skin, it was used for the background dancers of Pink's Performance at The Grammy Awards, and is used around the world by Studio and Stage Makeup Artists, Face and Body Painting Makeup Artists and even Fashion and Beauty Makeup Artists. This Halloween if you want to be the Tin Man you can be the Tin Man safely and easily with Silver Metallic Powder and Mehron Mixing Liquid.

The Clowns Love Fall

Mehron Clown MakeupIt's not easy being a clown in the heat of the summer, Clown Makeup, Clown Nose Hat, Costume, it's hot! Although most people hate the idea that summer is almost gone, Clowns love Fall. A crisp Autumn Day, a community event, street fair, bazaar, or carnival makes clowns happy. Spending hours a day making people smile and laugh is a lot easier in Clown Makeup, Costume and Clown nose during a cool Autumn Day than on a hot summer Sunday. Clowns would much prefer to work indoors in air conditioning, than out in the heat of a summer day. Battling the heat for a clown is doubly hard, battling the heat and putting all their effort into their performances which are most often active and lively, drains a clown. It's hard to be a Clown when your down.



As summer winds down and the and the sun becomes less intense, clowns are a happy group. Performing for hours at Fall Festivals, Pumpkin Picking Farms, Apple Festivals, and Community Fairs suddenly becomes fun again, less draining, the cooler outdoor performance is easier to sustain. Just like the rest of us, it is easier for a Clown to be active, cheery and full of energy on a clear cool day than on a hot humid day.



During the Autumn Season you will encounter all kinds of clowns, Hobo Clowns, White Face Clowns and Auguste Clowns. The clown begins his day earlier than most, beginning with the clown makeup. Even within the different kinds of clowns, the many colors of Clown Face Makeup available today, makes each clown individual and distinct. The Hobo Clown represents the everyman, allowing their Makeup to be very personalized and distinctively different. The introduction of HYPER-FORMANCE CreamBlend™ with a color selection of over thirdly shades is an easy to apply pushup stick cream makeup that allows the Hobo Clown to create a more unique and personified character than ever before, certainly more so than in 1927 when Mehron White Face Clown Makeup was the main selection.



White Face Clowns over eighty years later are still enjoying Mehron Clown White, the easy to apply, easy to remove, full coverage, super white , consistently uniform, non cracking White Face Clown Makeup available throughout the world at Authorized Mehron Retailers. Over the years Classic Clown White has been joined in the makeup mirrors of clowns by Clown White Lite This lanolin-based, highly pigmented Clown White Lite provides maximum whiteness, but can be used sparingly and still maintain full coverage and easy application.



For the Auguste Clown who loves the Fall there is Clown Pink, the true pink face clown makeup that maintains the standards of the original Clown White by Mehron. As Clowns discover the choice of accent colors available to them in the Face Painting Makeup Line of Mehron Makeup, the traditional White face Clown, Auguste Clown and Hobo Clown are discovering a unique Clown Look for that is all their own for Autumn and all throughout seasons.

Taking Bodypainting to The Streets

Although Body Painting with Makeup has become more main stream in recent years, there are still places where it might not be a good idea to take Body Painting, like in the middle of Times Square in New York City, NY. Artist Andy Golub found out that a Body Painting exhibition of nude models on the the streets of Manhattan on July 30, 2011 was not well received by the NYPD. Although he has done Body Painting outdoors at New York City Landmarks before, this time he stretched the limits by having his models remove their g-strings which keeps Body Painting within the bounds of the obscenity laws.



A traditional Canvas Artist, Mr Golub, who now resides in South Nyak, NY, not far from Mehron Headquarters, where he often visits to purchase Mehron Liquid Makeup and Paradise Makeup AQ for his Body Painting endeavors. Andy discovered Body Painting after he began to paint other objects such as car parts, surfboards and even cars. After painting a mannequin, he decided that a real live body would be an interesting canvas, and so began his Body Painting in 2006 at an Artexpo.



Since 2006, Andy Golub has been pushing Body Painting to the limits with his public exhibitions on the streets of New York, as he related to Reporter Nathan Burstein, who published an article on August 9, 20111 for the New York Post entitled, Lewd Awakening, NYC Painter Displays Naked Ambition and has a close brush with the law, “When I started painting outdoors, it became an interaction that included the public. When people see a nude model, it’s like, ‘Wow’ — it makes them look at things differently.”



The Art of Body Painting is constantly evolving and Artists like Andy Golub are always looking for the next level to which to take their Art, however, taking it to the streets just might be pushing the envelop a little too far unless you are willing to get tangled up in law for your Art.

This multiple use spray in a non-aersol mist was developed to assist Theatrical Makeup Artists as an under barrier when applying adhesives and 3D Gels in creating Characters for Theatrical Productions. The properties of Barrier Spray accomplish just what the name implies, it creates a barrier between the skin and makeup for endurance and application ease. Barrier Spray also prevents sweat from seeping out of the skin and through the makeup. Face and Body Painting Makeup Artists have discovered that Barrier Spray is perfect as a underlying base before they begin their creations, not only does it act as a moisture barrier between the skin and makeup, it also allows for an easier cleanup especially with darker colors of face and body painting makeup. Beauty Makeup Artists like Ms. Fulton have taken Barrier Spray out of the dressing rooms of theatrical makeup and brought it out into their Beauty Makeup Studios for all Beauty Makeup work including Bridal Makeup.


In her posting for the Beauty section of Hopetodaymagazine.com, Brandalyn Fulton sheds light on her reasons for using Mehron Barrier Spray in her Beauty Makeup Work, "Ladies to ensure the longevity of your foundation use Mehron Cosmetics Barrier Spray to set your makeup at the end. It can also be used prior to makeup application to combat sweating. This is an essential product for both men and women." After a Makeup Artist like Ms. Fulton spends time perfecting the Beauty Look, the last thing they want is the day wearing on and running makeup from sweat. Barrier Spray is also used by many High Fashion Makeup Artists to set powder foundation and makeup products. Calling Barrier Spray an essential is high praise coming from the rising Makeup Artist Star, Brandalyn Fulton.


Pointing out that more and more men are using the services of Beauty Makeup Artists for their Wedding Day and other important days in their lives when they know they will be the subject of photographs, Brandalyn recommends another Makeup Product that has been a secret weapon of Makeup Artists in a variety of Makeup Disciplines, Touch-Up™ Matte Finishing Anti-Shine Gel Treatment. Ms. Fulton explains, " Mehron Cosmetics Touch Up Anti Shine Gel Treatment can be used on both men and women and is a makeup artist go-to product to eliminate shine. It can be used before or after makeup and comes in Dark, Medium, and Light to accommodate different skin tones. Men can wear a foundation, but most find that a little Touch Up Anti Shine Gel will have their skin camera ready." Ms. Fulton continues to grow her freelance Beauty Makeup Clientele because of her innate talent and color blending expertise and her choices in Makeup Products, choosing the right product for the job.

Meagan Hester - Featured Makeup Artist



Mehron Featured Makeup Artist,Meagan Hester
The journey through life has many roads that lead to places unknown, the road that one does not take may just lead to the road that you were destined to travel. Such is the story of Meagan Hester, with teenage dreams of being a dancer, a leg injury put her on a different path. Leaving the accolades of a stage dancer behind, Meagan sought a new road that led her to the beginning of her career as a hairstylist in an upscale salon in Westchester County, New York, USA. As she became proficient in cutting, styling and coloring techniques, she felt that something was missing. Reporting to a shop everyday began to wear on her always seeking soul until one day she knew the time had come to seek another road.


Meagan Hester packed her bags and headed to Los Angles, California where she enrolled in the Make-up Designory (MUD), where the methodology is inspired learning, and the motto is; Apply, Blend and Achieve. Quickly inspired by the curriculum, Meagan immersed herself in every Makeup Application Artistry that MUD had to offer, taking a particular fancy to Special Effects Makeup, (SPFX). Exploring this new world was fascinating to Meagan and each course offered a new excitement and interest in the various disciplines of Makeup Artistry. Just as she quickly mastered Hairstyling in Westchester County, NY, Meagan was just as quickly mastering the art of Theatrical Makeup, Special Effects Makeup, Beauty Makeup, and High Fashion Makeup.


The Make-Up Designory is relatively close to Pasadena, CA, which is the home of the Los Angles International Make-Up Artist Trade Show(IMATS). Students of MUD are lucky to be able to attend this gathering of the Makeup Industry that features exhibitions, workshops seminars and competitions. The Makeup Competitions at IMATS pit the world's most talented Makeup Artists against each other as they are judged by their peers. Unique to the IMATS Competitions is the Student Competition, a chance for a Makeup Student or recent graduate of a Makeup Program to show their talent to the World's Most Renowned Makeup Artists. The IMATS Student Competition is only open to eight competitors from around the world who are selected and invited to participate. In 2008 Meagan Hester was one of the eight students in the world to be selected by IMATS to participate in the Student Competition attesting to her swiftly maturing talent as a Makeup Artist.


It was at the 2008 IMATS that Meagan Hester became acquainted with Mehron Makeup and met the Mehron Marketing Director Stephanie Ferreira, who recognizing her natural talent put her contact information in her database of Freelance Makeup Artists for future reference. Sometimes the future is right around the corner. Soon after the 2008 IMATS Meagan Hester returned to New York State and found herself in the position of being a Makeup Artist at a Fashion Show on the campus of Syracuse University where the lead Makeup Artist was the renowned Billy B. Diligently working on her assignments, Meagan was able to observe Billy B. and receive her first taste of working as a Freelance Makeup Artist. That night, working her first paid job as a Freelance Makeup Artist, Meagan Hester knew that she had found the excitement and satisfaction that she was seeking, and that it was exactly what she wanted.


With her go getter personality, easy mannerisms, and fountain of talent Meagan Hester has had a steady stream of work in her chosen Profession as Freelance Makeup Artist. From working on Films, Television, Music Videos, and High Fashion Magazine Spreads, to doing Special Effects Makeup for Mehron Photo Shoots and being part of the elite team of Mehron Makeup Artists at New York Fashion Week, this young twenty something Makeup Artist is steamrolling her way towards the Makeup Awards of the future.


With versatile talent that includes all Makeup Application, and Hairstyling, this Freelance Makeup Artist has her sights set on "doing it all", as Ms. Hester recently told the Mehron Blog in an interview about her goals, "I don't see any reason why I can't do it all, I want to do Films, Television, FX and Fashion Magazine Makeup. I would love to do Makeup For SNL!"


With her thumb on the pulse of what's hot in Makeup Innovation, Meagan Hester has worked for clients ranging from Music Choice, Angel Sanchez, HesterHouse Productions, Digio Blue and Mehron Makeup doing everything from Hairstyling and Fashion Makeup to Special Effects Makeup. This exuberant young Makeup Artist even volunteered to do Makeup for the Haiti Fundraiser spending long pay-less hours at the marathon event. With her energy never waning, Meagan has also volunteered to Work for the American Cancer Society in a program called, Look Good, Feel Better, where she hopes to teach active cancer treatment patients the benefits of using Beauty Makeup to look good and feel good.


Along with all that she has on her plate, Meagan Hester just completed a collaboration in an Independent Short Film sponsored by Mehron, "When Bobby Met Larry", directed by Phil Coccioletti, Produced by SugarCamp Films, Assistant Producer and Director Jessica Hester, Written and Performed by Carlos A. Gonzalez. Meagan Hester is the Key SPFX Makeup Artist and Character Art Director for this film. Although "When Bobby Met Larry" is still in post production, Mehron Blog Readers will have an inside look at this soon to released film in the coming days.


Although she has a full schedule, Meagan Hester is always looking for the next challenge and is a Freelance Makeup Artist and Hairstylist that is ready to meet your makeup needs.
