Inside Makeup for a Film

Meagan Hester, Key SPFX Makeup Artist and Character Art Director for the soon to premier Independent Film When Bobby Met Larry written and performed by Carlos A. Gonzales, shared the list of Mehron Makeup products that she used to create the five main characters of the film. As a diverse Makeup Artist, Ms. Hester is familiar with all the Mehron Makeup Products and although this film did not call for using one of her favorite lines of Mehron Makeup Products, she did use a cross section of Mehron Makeup. In a recent interview, Meagan Hester related "I especially love the Mehron Blood Makeup for FX work". Although When Bobby Met Larry required her to use a lot of her makeup skills, it did not require using Performance Squirt Blood, Stage Blood, or Coagulated Blood Gel, but with Halloween on the horizon and the Vampire Age upon us, Meagan will surely be using these Mehron Products in the near future.

For the Characters of When Bobby Met Larry, a Production of SugarCamp Films, Meagan Hester used a variety of Mehron Makeup to transform Carols A. Gonzalez into five distinct characters. Ms. Hester used her Makeup Artistry to change the age, sex, and race of Actor Carlos A. Gonzales for his roles in the film, When Larry Met Bobby, Directed by Phil Coccioletti with Assistant Director Jessica Hester.
