Mehron Makeup Used at Fashion Week

Keyed by Emmy Award Winning Makeup Artist Kevin James Bennett with an All Star Mehron Makeup Artist Team, Mehron Makeup collaborated in the New York Fashion Week Debut of the world's hottest Fashion Designers Falguni and Shane Peacock. Noted as the Fashion Designers to the Stars Falguni and Shane Peacock Fashions have graced the bodies of Lady Gaga, Brittney Spears, Rihanna and Fergie among many others.

Mr. Bennett explained his choice of Mehron Makeup products and colors, "The Collection had a lot of bronze and metal tones along with bright colors so we decided to use metal colors in the makeup to keep it consistent Falguni and Shane clothes are very detailed and have a lot going on, so we wanted the face to be dramatic yet classic" Mr. Bennett decided on Mehron Metallic Powders to intensify the eyes. The Mehron Makeup Team applied Gold Metallic Powder on the lids and then blended Bronze Metallic Powder in the crease and up towards the brow bone pick up the metallic colors in the fashions. KJ Bennett and the Mehron Makeup Artist Team debuted the newest offering in the Mehron Beauty Makeup Collection, Black Kohl Eye Pencil to line the inner eyes on both top and bottom. To cap off the eye look the Mehron Makeup Team used the exclusive Mehron E.Y.E. Lashes in the full style.

To begin the Makeup Application Process KJ Bennett and the All-Star Mehron Makeup Artist Team used their Celebré Pro HD Make-Up 20 Color Palette to accommodate the skin tone of all thirty five models and Porcelain Black who were in the Falguni and Shane Peacock Fashion Presentation, once again proving that the Foundation of the Future that is here today has a hue for almost every skin tone on earth.

Cream with Clear Glosstone.

Fashion Week Begins in New York City

September 9, 2010 marks the beginning of a new era for New York City Fashion Week. The familiar setting of Bryant Park is now a part of Fashion Week History. The new Era of Fashion Week at the cultural hub of New York City, Lincoln Center is the new setting for Mercedes-Benz fashion Week. The 2010 Fashion Week opened with the Designs of Nicholas K, a New York based design company founded by the Nicholas Kunz and Christopher Kunz with the final presentation on September 16, 2010 at 9:00 PM by IVANhelsinki, featuring the artistic fashions of Paola Ivana Suhonen who runs the company with her sister Prijo. In between the bookends of these two family companies, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week will witness the premier of designs by Christian Siriano, Nicole Miller, Binetti, Tommy Hilfiger, Betsey Johnson, Toni Francesc, Anna Sui, Rebecca Moses and dozens of other Fashion Designers from around the world.

Another Family Company that will be a part of 2010 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is Mehron Makeup, leaders in Theatrical Makeup since 1927 and now the innovators of fashion forward makeup. Mehron Fashion Makeup will be making its third appearance in a row on the prestigious runways of New York Fashion Week highlighting the models with professional True Color Professional Fashion Makeup applied by a team of Mehron Makeup Artists. Mehron will be an intricate part of the presentation by Toni Francesc complimenting his fashions with the newest in fashion makeup.

Complete coverage with a sparing application in a hue for every skin tone on earth, this Foundation Makeup features the anti-oxidant ingredients of Aloe Vera, Vitamin E and Pomegranate, all historically proven skin protectors.

At the beginning of the new era of Fashion Week at Lincoln Center, Mehron Makeup Artists will delve into the Mehron Collections of Makeup to complete the vision that Designer Toni Francesc has for his Fashion Design presentation for the eclectic New York audience in attendance.

Ever present in the Makeup Cases of Professional Theatrical Makeup Artists throughout the world, Mehron Makeup is emerging as the Fashion Makeup of true, consistent, innovative colors and textures to compliment the fashion designs of Designers of the World.

Makeup Blogs Blog About Mehron Beauty Makeup

On September 13, 2009 the debut of Mehron Beauty Makeup in conjunction with the premier of the Fashion Collection by Athens Fashion Designer Vassilios Kostetsos at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York City was a hughe event for the Makeup Company who has starred on the Stages of Broadway for over eight decades. Feeling right at home in New York City, the city where it all began in 1927, Mehron supplied the makeup and Makeup Artists to compliment the look that Fashion Designer Vassilios Kostetsos was proud to present to the world of fashion. Under the direction of Raedawn Johnson the Mehron Makeup Artists applied a bronze look to the models to replicate the classic look of Greek goddesses and gods to compliment the look presented by the Greek Designer.

Fashion and Makeup Blogs were well represented at the event and postings are still continuing. BeautySweetSpot commented in a posting entitled, Backstage: Vassilios Kostetsos , " Mehron, a makeup line that normally dominates Broadway, created the look using the inspiration of the bronzed goddess. Raedawn Johnson lead the Mehron team in making up 20 models, using brown and gold eye shadows, bronzer, a pop of pink on the cheek and clear glossy lip." While Krasey Beauty in a Blog, titled: Backstage at Vassilios Kostetsos with Mehron, said, "With such an impressive line, the makeup of course had to match. Team Mehron stepped up to the plate, to transform models into modern day bronzed Greek Gods and Goddesses. Led by head Mehron artist Raedawn J, the makeup team took models to Greece with intense bronze eyes and dewy, bronzed skin."

The Makeup Snob commented, "With such an impressive line, the makeup of course had to match. Team Mehron stepped up to the plate, to transform models into modern day bronzed Greek Gods and Goddesses. Led by head Mehron artist Raedawn J, the makeup team took models to Greece with intense bronze eyes and dewy, bronzed skin."

On The Quest for "it" in a Blog Post Titled, "Backstage @ Vasillios Kostetsos: Mehron Cosmetics Debut", writer Peggie Walker saw the Mehron Debut this way, "Backstage was calm, cool, and collected at The Salon (tent) in Bryant Park on the fourth evening of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, New York. It was the first time Greek designer and legend Vassilios Kostetsos, and makeup sponsor Mehron Cosmetics introduced their collections at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week. Mehron's makeup team headed by makeup artist, Raedawn Johnson brought on Vassilios' vision, inspired by his Greek culture, with models walking down the runway looking like Greek gods and goddesses. Raedawn said "we used a lot of Mehron's Aura Bronzing Gel, as well as the Gold E.Y.E Cream. We made the eyes dramatic with brown shadow and dark brown mascara, but skipped the eyeliner and false lashes to keep the look natural and fresh--keeping with Vassilios' wishes."

To go along with all the Blog coverage of the Mehron Beauty Makeup Debut, Photographer Alberto Vincenzo Ruotolo shot some behind the scenes photos of the Mehron Makeup Artists in Action.
