Halloween at Mehron Mexico

In New York City 1927, The Holland Tunnel opened allowing automobile traffic to drive under the bedrock of the Hudson River, linking New York and New Jersey via roadbed. Charles Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic from New York to Paris. A man named Babe Ruth moved from Boston to New York to work on Murders Row for the New York Yankees. The Jazz Singer was being hailed as the birth of the talkies. On the 1927 Streets of New York City, the Flappers were the rage, as another man, Mehron Melik, was hand making makeup for the Performers of the Stage and Studio under the name of Mehron Makeup.

In Mexico 1927 there was a counter-revolution against the government in a revolt that became knows as The Cristero War. In Mexico City, the first experimental theater, Teatro Ulses, literally the Odysseus Theater, a fifty seat theater which had a short life, laid the foundation for the future of Mexican Theater. The Silent Film that was breaking barriers in Mexico in 1927 was El puño de hierro (The Iron Fist), a startling look at drug addiction and trafficking told by blending social commentary with adventure and surrealism. The rise of the Performing Arts in Mexico coincided with the rise of the world's most famous Theater District, Broadway, in New York City, where Mehron Makeup was gaining a following among the Performers of Studio and Stage.

In 1927 Mehron Makeup was not available to the Performing Artists in Mexico. In 2011, almost a century later, Mehron Mexico is the representative of the Makeup that began in the off-Broadway loft of Mehron Melik, as the New York Yankees were beginning a dynasty that continues over eighty years later. Like the New York Yankees, Mehron Makeup continues over eighty years later expanding its product line and distribution network worldwide.

In scenes reminiscent of the Silent Films of 1927, the Makeup Artists from Mehron Mexico have recreated the era with the Mehron Makeup of 2011 just in time for Halloween.

Mehron Celebré Pro HD Make-Up , Foundation Makeup that can match most of the skin tones on earth can also be used to create a skin tone for a character, even one that is from an era eight decades ago.

The Silent Film Era Stars didn't have the color choices offered by Mehron Makeup in 2011, but today's Makeup Colors can recreate their look

Mehron Mexico does a throwback to the days of Silent Film for Halloween 2011 with Mehron Makeup.

Life Imitates Body Painting Art

Body Painting is not a new Art Form, it has however become a very refined Art Form with specially formulated water activated cake makeup, and the influence of a movement of Body Painting Makeup Artists who are always exploring the next dimension. In the last few years the Art of Body Painting has evolved from simply using colorful Body Painting Makeup on Face and Body into an art form that includes all the schools of art, including Cubism, Modernism, Realism, Symbolism, Impressionism and Surrealism. With influences from tribal Body Painting performed with ancient methods of making body painting Colors from the art supplies of nature, colored clay, barks, plants and berries, Body Painting has come into its own with a wide selection of Body Painting Makeups, Brushes, and Applicators that offers the Body Painting Makeup Artist of the present a selection of colors that surpasses the colors that traditional canvas artists have had for centuries. The modern Body Painting Makeup Artist is truly an Artist, using all the disciplines and skills of more traditional artists to accomplish a living breathing art, that is infinite yet temporal. Unlike the masters of Art, the Body Painting Makeup Artist creates a masterpiece that is temporary and can only be preserved through the art of photography.

On September 9, 2011, at The Studio of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center located in heart of New York City, Mumbai Based Fashion Designers Falguni and Shane Peacock unveiled a Spring 2012 Fashion Collection that reflected the history of the arts of Ancient Cultures combined with the influences of the Art of Body Painting. Taking inspiration from various historical periods at their artistic apex and melding it with the current renaissance period of Body Painting Art, Falguni and Shane Peacock created a Spring Fashion Collection for 2012 that is temporal and infinite. Like the Art of Body Painting, the Art of the Falguni and Shane Peacock Spring 2012 Fashion Collection is only preserved by the Art of Photography, unless the fabrics of designs are specially preserved and exhibited. Like Body Painting, an art that is living, breathing and temporary, the Falguni and Shane Peacock Fashion Collection is an Art that is meant to be worn and lived.

The 2012 Spring Fashion Collection Presentation by Falguni and Shane Peacock with Mehron Makeup, Innovators of Face and Body painting Makeup included yet another Art that can only be preserved and enjoyed via a medium other that its own. The September 9, 2011 fashion Show of Falguni and Shane Peacock And Mehron makeup at New york Fashion Week included a Special appearance by Porcelain Black, a quickly rising star in the Art of Rock and Roll. It took the photography of Richard Esposito to capture the Art of the Falguni and Shane Peacock and Mehron Makeup, and the Body Painting Art of Jinny throughout 2011. Without the art of recording the art of Porcelain Black would also not be preserved beyond its performance time.

Jinny was able to perfectly match the design with the colors of Paradise Makeup AQ and create the illusion of real stockings.

Makeup from New York to Berlin

With just enough time to pack up the traveling Mehron Exhibition Booth and ship it off to Berlin, Germany for the 2011 Makeup Show Europe after just completing an exciting Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Presentation with Falguni and Shane, Mehron Makeup will be set up by the opening of the Show on September 17th, at 9:00 AM. In New York, Mehron Makeup was represented by Emmy Award Winning Makeup Artist KJ Bennett and an All-Star Mehron Makeup Artist Team, in Berlin, at The Makeup Show Europe, Special Guest Makeup Artist at the Mehron Exhibition Booth will be Danielle A. Fonseca, Founder of A Body of Art, a New York based special events project production company that offers a full range of services for corporate, promotional and personal events, as well as for the the theatrical stage.

If the entire collection of Mehron Makeup fails to excite the sometimes stoic European Audience, the live Makeup Application Demonstrations throughout the two day event by Ms. Fonseca should be able to turn their heads and grab their attention as she uses the Makeup that has been Made in the USA since 1927.

From the humble beginnings of homemade makeup in an off Broadway loft in New York City to worldwide distribution, Mehron Makeup will be looking to make new inroads in the European Distribution of the Makeup that has starred on Broadway, the sets of Hollywood and Burbank and the Runways of New York Fashion Week.

Just as Mehron has been participating in The Makeup Show since its beginnings in New York and has been at their debuts in other cities, Mehron Makeup is proud to be a participant in the first ever Makeup Show Europe and to have Danielle A. Fonseca as the featured special guest Makeup Artist representing Mehron makeup to the Industry Professionals of Eurpoe in Berlin on Saturday September 17 from 9:00 AM-6:00 PM thru Sunday September 18, 9:00 AM -5:00PM. Customarily, Mehron Makeup has always used the Makeup Show New York to introduce a new Makeup Product, with the Makeup Show Europe in its debut appearance, Mehron may just use the opportunity to introduce its new Black Kohl Eye Pencil to the Beauty Makeup Industry of Europe.

The Eyes of Fashion Week

Fashion Shows are to show off Fashion, to appeal to the buyers for exclusive and major retailers, as well as to present the designer's current collection to the world. To complete the Fashion Look, a team of hairstylists and makeup artists are called upon to accentuate the Look that the Designer is trying to achieve for the world debut of their latest Fashion Collection. The Fashion Show begins with the Professional Fashion Designer, a Production and Promotional Staff, Professional Models, Hairstylists and Makeup Artists. Each of these Professionals are highly skilled in their field of endeavor and although working independently of each other their work must mesh together to have a successful Runway Debut.

A Study in Body Art with Jinny

On September 9, 2011 in New York City, Mehron Makeup collaborated with Falguni and Shane Peacock to present their Spring 2012 Fashion Collection at The Studio of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Falguni and Shane Peacock brought their incredible new designs, and fashion models, Mehron supplied the Makeup that has starred on Stage, Screen and Fashion Runways since 1927. Along with all All-Star Team of Makeup Artists and Emmy Award Winning Makeup Artist Kevin James (KJ) Bennett as the Key Makeup Artist, the 2012 Spring Collection carried a Rock and Roll Theme with a Special Guest Appearance by Rock's newest rising star, Porcelain Black. While KJ Bennet and the Mehron Makeup Team of Brandalyn Fulton, Edward Cruz, Meagan Hester, and Raedawn Johnson were busy preparing the Models for The fashion Show, Special Guest Mehron Makeup Artist, Jinny, was brought in especially to complete the design of Falguni and Shane Peacock worn by Porcelain Black, using her Award Winning Body Painting technique.

The outfit worn by Porcelain Black was the sexiest military influenced fashion design to ever walk the runway. Jinny completed the look of the Fashion Design by painting on stockings and garter belts with the water based semi soft cake makeup, Paradise Makeup AQ which she co-created with Mehron Makeup. Using Paradise Makeup AQ in Black, Dark Brown, Olive, Dark Green and Lime, Jinny enhanced her leg painting of Porcelain Black with Mehron Precious Gems in Perodot, Gold GlitterMark and completed the look with Gold Paradise Glitter.

Capturing the Event for Mehron was Connecticut based Emmy Award winning Photographer Richard Esposito.
